Putin bans Russia grain exports due to drought (Food Supply Issues?)

Things are starting to get interesting as far as the global food production scene is concerned.  This is the headline story on the Drudge Report as I write this:

Coupled with the article I linked to a couple of days ago, it seems that we could be seeing the beginning of another "food supply crisis".  Keep an eye on developments as far as this story is concerned as it could be a precursor indicator of some other shortages.  Hopefully not, of course.  But it's good to be aware. :)
