Thanks for the link , in reality demand for grains didn't change with embargo it was more a change of sales/purchases , interest rates doubling in that time frame did the same thing to "everybody/every business" same as feed costs doubling a few yrs. ago did to livestock business....when things change that fast no business can adjust quick enough....
