I don't mean anything I wouldn't expect to see, just that it's a very well known thing, and also has had some recent challenges (news articles about extreme climate, etc). And similar stories going back 12+ years such as: https://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/rural-news/2015-08-22/banking-on-cheese/6711648 https://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/rural-news/2015-08-22/bank... and in 2009 from the USDA: https://apps.fas.usda.gov/newgainapi/api/Report/DownloadReportByFileName?fileName=Fine+Wines+and+Parmesan+Cheese+as+Bank+Collateral_Rome_Italy_9-28-2009.pdf https://apps.fas.usda.gov/newgainapi/api/Report/DownloadRepo... I would also note that the original URL in OP's post seems like some kind of content blog/click farm, so some of the top ten URLs in the google results from actual known large news media might be more legit.
