My impression from talking to the experts was that the hops issue was somewhat unique because of the number of hops farmers exiting the business, while barley and wheat farmers are in it to stay. The economic news gets even more interesting, as corn hit $5.12/bushel yesterday... The price of malt is also an interesting story.
