Rises in the prices of corn and soybeans and other field crops as a result of drought this year in the Midwest are expected to feed through into food prices late this year and in early 2013.
Soybean prices jumped 40 percent over the summer, while wheat shot up about 50 percent. Prices have eased a bit since then, but the increases are expected to filter down to consumers.
