You're missing the real point. The main reason the price of wheat is up, as well as oil and any other commodity, is the collapse of the dollar. This will continue as the U.S. can not afford its budget and the world is getting wise to that fact. Inflation? Do not believe government figures, those are heavily manipulated. Believe your gut when you visit the grocery store, pay your insurance or pump gas.
And it will get much worse. For you history buffs, think 'Weimar Republic'. It may not (I hope not) be as bad as that in terms of amplitude, but it will be very bad.
