Fortunately for Quaker, its main distribution center in Cedar Rapids is in a considerably drier part of town, Mueller said. “We don’t anticipate any major impact on our inventory or supply at this point.”

Bryon, I do not see any more recent article than this one.

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) – Police say 20 people have been killed in less than three days in this crime-ridden border city’s latest wave of violence.

State police spokesman Cesar Ramirez says a father and son who were killed at their home while sleeping were among the victims. A third victim was a man whose body was cut up in pieces and dumped in an empty lot.

Ramirez says that this year alone more than 500 people have been killed in Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso, Texas. The city is home to the powerful Juarez drug cartel and has been among the hardest-hit cities in an explosion of violence across Mexico.

President Felipe Calderon has deployed 25,000 troops across the country to wrest territory from drug gangs, which have fought back with bold attacks.

Due to floods we have lost 72% of next year’s seed corn crop. As a result, Quaker Oats has closed indefinitely due to huge silos of grain destroyed by floodwaters. General Mills won’t be producing for a long time. Cargill’s huge grain storage bins have been lost and the railroad in and out has been lost. Archer Daniels Midland – the world’s largest agricultural processors of soybeans, corn, wheat and cocoa is totally under water. If you can stock up on cereals and anything made from corn, wheat and soybeans do so

Thanks Peter Anderson for the heads up.

Good luck Illinois.
