There are cornfields in Phoenix?
Prayer and repentance.
That’s the only cure.

May we do so.
” “At this time of year,when you look down in a place like Indiana or Illinois,you should see just lush green fields,” Armstrong said. “I saw bare soil.”
I concur, I took a flight out west last week and wondered why all I saw was brown earth.
1980 or 81 they were finding wrecked ships and mastodon bones in the Missouri river channel. In some places you could walk across the Missouri river.
We didn’t all die, only some of us did.
I'm a city boy so I know little about such things but it sure looked healthy to me.
What do judgment and foreknowledge have to do with each other?
Reducing ethanol actually makes the fuel cheaper. It is the subsidies that keep the ethanol price lower than the market , too, and the interest on the debt that provides them.alone would hav it. Of course we are paying those subsidies.
In our county in Pa, the corn is healthy and green, except in some places where they planted rather late. Even that is starting to look pretty nice now.
Same thing happened here (Indiana) in 88.
If it’s only every 25 yrs we’re OK.
Cut yourself shaving? “World's razor supply is defective.”
Once in a while the blogger will be right on the money, and folks will forget that the rest of the blog is pulled out of the blogger’s rear end.
Drought conditions here but the corn looks good due to irrigation.
A few weeks ago, we had a couple of timely rains. First an inch, then two inches.
Plus, the newest hybrids are supposed to be very drought resistant.
If not for those rains there would be nothing left standing in my part of the country, though. It simply wasn’t enough.
***The current heat wave — which is spurring comparisons to the catastrophic heat of 1936 — is “out of whack,”***
Really? Lets see. Look at the hottest year dates!

Natural gas is dirt cheap and plentiful. Too bad our superiors in the government decided to burn our food instead.
A lot of corn dying in SW Michigan.
A week or so back there was a thread about toxic GM grass killing cattle. The panic was extreme but a little digging showed me that the grass was a hybrid (not GM) that had been around since the early 80s and that the natural production of cyanide under stress was a known property. (Not to mention very common among many plants)
Some kind of boutique farmer who didn’t know as much as he thought poisoned his own cattle.
Corn is making us all fat. How do you think they get those beef cows so big and fat?
Corn.
Now if we had a broccoli shortage, or a peanut butter shortage like we had a few years back, then we would have a crisis.
