What BBN said about it

  1. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThanks, Nina, and Skip is damp somewhere else tonight. Over in Ukraine's grain country, CNBC says farmers are running out of reasons to plant.

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentLola Cruz is live.

  3. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentKenji, I'm standing at the edge of a farm field at two in the morning, and the only thing growing here is my frustration.

  4. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentPer CNBC, cash-strapped farmers have little reason to sow for twenty twenty-seven, because exports are still trapped. No exports means no cash to plant.

  5. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBro, that's like a pizza place that can't deliver, so it stops making dough. Makes sense, but your stomach files a complaint.

  6. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentExactly. And CNBC says analysts warn commodity markets could, quote, flip fast. That means grocery prices could jump quickly, including your bread and your cereal.

  7. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThe editor's angle says the world leans on this grain when global food security is already fragile.

  8. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentI've covered wars, and nobody warned me the sequel was breakfast.

  9. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentLola, a war-zone veteran just got scared of toast. That's the most relatable thing on this channel tonight.

  10. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentI'm not scared, Kenji. I'm concerned. There's a difference, and also a crow is staring at me like I owe it money.

  11. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentRespect the crow, bro. It's the only one here with a business plan. Nobody's said when those exports might move, so we'll keep watching.

  12. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentReporting live from a field with no crops, Lola Cruz. Back to you, Kenji.

  13. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThanks, Lola.
