George Soros Making a Move to Control Food and Grain Production
National Examiner
Financier and progressive activist George Soros is formulating a move to control food and grain production by purchasing grain elevators in late March in several parts of the United States through his subsidiary company Gavilon Grain. With some purchases made on March 29th, Soros will become the third largest grain company behind Cargill, and Archer-Daniels Midland.
With strong ties to the Obama administration, Soros now has both the economic, and political clout to begin consolidation of purchasing and shipping domestic agriculture around the world.
U.S. grain firm Gavilon Grain said on Thursday it will buy Union Elevator and Warehouse’s 16 grain elevators in the Pacific Northwest , the company’s second big purchase of U.S. grain facilities in the last six months.
The purchase of 16 elevators at 12 locations in eastern Washington will expand Gavilon’s grain capacity by 8.4 mbu.
“The addition of Union Elevator’s grain facilities and origination capabilities position us well to support the growing Pacific Northwest export wheat market and serve the Columbian Basin feed grain market,” Greg Konsor, VP and GM of Gavilon Grain, said in a statement. The PNW is the No. 1 wheat export terminal in the United States.

When food brokers consolidate into just a few large companies controlling the majority of a market, then prices can be set not by supply and demand, but by corporate decisions and manipulation of supply. If the price for food is too low in the United States, then grain can be shipped to other markets for sale, causing then an artifical supply problem in the country that produced the grain itself.
With George Soros making this move to control food and grain distribution in the United States, and becoming the third largest grain company in the country, it will lead to the same results that we see in the energy markets as oil is controlled by a small group of corporations, and the price can be dictated by an artificial control over its supply.
Wild Thing’s comment……..
Spooky dude getting spookier.
I wish the the piranhas would eat him. Or maybe a stake thru Georgie’s heart.He is really pure evil.
As radiation spreads into the food supply chain and japan needs to sell off American debt to pay for their disaster..he will make a move to skewer everyone
I hope the devil takes him home before it happens.
And this is why George and Media Matters is going after Fox and Glen Beck because, Glen Beck has been right on the money.
Soros is One of the Largest Owners of Farmland in South America
Billionaire George Soros is a Big Picture investor. Through shrewd observation and, when necessary, via manipulation of government operators, he is usually able to cash in on major trends. All indications are that food prices are heading higher based on upward price forces from both the demand and supply side. It turns out that, through a subsidiary, Soros is one of the largest owners of productive farmland in South America. This could be his greatest investment ever.
The company, Adecoagro, based in Luxembourg, but with extensive farm holdings in South America, is going public. Because it is going public, the details of the company and the Soros connection become clear.
Th IPO will consist of 28.54 million shares and is expected to be priced between $13 and $15 per share. The prospectus says the company believes that they “are one of the largest owners of productive farmland in South America”. As of September 30, 2010, the company says it owned 274,663 hectares (excluding sugarcane farms) of farmland in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay.
Soros needs to be killed.
We may need victory gardens again .
Tom, big ditto to that about Soros. Can you imagine in 2011 that we even have to worry or be concerned about this kind of thing. How anyone could hate America like Soros and Obama do it is just so shocking to me. Yes victory gardens might start up again.
