Why did the price for wheat and corn triple from 2005 to 2008?
For wheat it was largely a matter of world supply. Several countries had poor yields during that time, so prices rose to reflect that. With corn it was primarily the somewhat speculative buying by ethanol producers in the US. For all commodities in that period, investment buyers (in this case, speculators) were adding their share to the price hikes. When the recession hit strongly in 2009, all speculative commodity purchasing dropped radically at the same time that world grain stocks were being replenished, so now grain prices have dropped to about 2007 levels.

Speculators help or hinder economic growth?
Speculators are individuals who risk their savings trying to gain from the difference between the current and the future price of a good or service. In doing so, they themselves influence the current price, because to buy or sell at current prices necessarily increases/decreases the current demand for that good or service.Thus, through their actions, skillful speculators contribute to more correct pricing of goods and services. Those unskilled do the opposite, but will eventually go out of business if they continue to make wrong predictions.
