| Being a farmer I can relate to the hardship that is being felt across North America this fall. There has been so much cool wet weather that many acres of corn, soys, rice, canola, barley and wheat will not even get harvested. Many acres of wheat will not get planted because it is planted in the fall after soybeans and canola. You can't plant if the other crop is still in the field and many fields that have been harvested are too wet and rutted up to plant anyway. The following articles are talking about US states but there could be as many links to provinces in Canada as well. I don't want to be labelled as a fearmonger here, but everyone should be aware of a potential crisis if these crops cannot be harvested. Prices may rise sharply so watch the weather. Snowstorms will be disasterous for all crops with the exception of corn. Many fields of corn are in trouble also because they did not mature before the fall frosts. - Quote :
- In recent months, numerous stories detailed crop and livestock damage. Drought, floods, hail and freezes bit into food supplies. Regardless of the reason, it resulted in destroyed or damaged crops.
Earlier this year drought was the big worry. Now 'the big dry' has turned into deluges, which have hit with devastating consequences. Throughout the grain belt crops are in danger. It's not just in Iowa. This same story is repeated south from Wisconsin to Mississippi and east from Kansas to Tennessee.
Unusually cold temperatures this year delivered a double whammy. First frigid weather delayed planting sometimes by months. Farmers waited nervously to see if crops would amount to anything. Then as late as September when it appeared there might even be bumper yields, unseasonable cold struck again. Some crops hit by this early frost this fall are already "done" for the year.
Round three came with unrelenting record-breaking rain descending at the worst possible time – harvest. Land is so soggy in places corn, cotton, soy are mired in mud or stand in water. Combines sit idle unable to gather the goods while crops rot in the field. Farmers fear they will forced to plough them under.
In light of these developments, take serious stock of your food storage inventories. Look at your grains. Have you thought about how many foods contain wheat, soy, corn and rice? One or more are in nearly every packaged food from candy and soft drinks to cereals, baked goods and snacks, packaged dinners, deli meats to pet foods and animal feed. http://standeyo.com/index1.htmlNOVEMBER 2-3 The Lurking Food Crisis Illinois Corn Harvest Slowest in 42 Years Alabama's Crops Are in Trouble, Ag Commissioner Iowa Facing Latest Corn Harvest in Decades Illinois Soybean, Corn Harvests at Record Lows Nebraska Crop Waits for Sun to Dry Fields Wet Weather Continues to Hinder Iowa Harvest Tennessee Harvesters Race to Beat River Flood Threats Cool, Wet Weather Slows Kansas Wheat Planting Weather Delays Wisconsin Corn, Soybean Harvest Sunlight: The New Wave of Terror Late Harvest Sows Problems for Farmers Farmers Fight Climate Bill, But Warming Spells Trouble for Them U.S. Inflation to Appear Next in Food and Agriculture | |

| Yes I have seen this in the working. I know in Calif they decided a certain breed of minnow had more rights than the farmers.
Pretty sad I also remember the stories that came out of India last year.
Some peoples kids huh ? | |

| I am a newbie farmer and when talking to the locals here it is amazing how connected to the weather they are. When they talk about rain its like they are describing money falling out the sky. (Unless there is too much of it, then it might as well be fireballs). Water from the skies is the farmers stocks and shares - its a distorted market because they went for capital intensive crops that are on a knife edge of ecological requirements. They didnt know they were taking these risks, they have been manipulated just the way stockbrokers were manipulated.
I also note how connected they are to the artificial system of exchanges and export prices etc. The whole thing is out of whack.

| When I re-read this post today, I got a reminder of something that Gregg Braden said and instead of putting all the videos here or re-writing it, I thought I would just put in this one video...............it explains so much and I have done this and it worked. Please listen to his story, its beautiful and if you heard it before, it will make you smile today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-5pWbzmx2g&feature=quicklist&playnext=5&playnext_from=QL | |

| Farming is the backbone of all society. No farming, no food. If crops fail because of drought or flood then it should be the Government that subsidises the farmers until such time as things get better. The Tasmanian dairy farmers backs are against the wall because of the Government and low prices for their milk or something of that nature, so much so that they are about to walk away. What is wrong with these bloody politicians, if they cannot see where help is needed for the people who actually feed the rest of us, we might as well pack it in now. Idiots they are. Where's my taser. | |

| wasn't it Cayce (?) years ago who said we would face famine because there would be no growing season?? when he predicted the weather doing what it is doing and all this was right before a pole shift i don't think it is the powers that wanna be that we need to be worried about..

| I dont' think HAARP is doing all of this either. Mother Nature is getting her revenge. Funny thing they had a number of global warming rallies planned last weekend across Canada in the larger cities to get action. Well surprise surprise hardly anyone showed up. Looks good on them. Al Gore is about profiting from the carbon tax not saving the planet. Is a total FRAUD. | |

| M i have come to the conclusion that there is no revenge but just a cycle where the earth goes into another mode for a time/era/eon and for the inhabitants it is adapt to survive or perish i think that what we (those here and some others ) know is what we need to practice.. a higher vibration where we don't need food or shelter as we know it now change/evolve to continue on i think we all know that and are ready to evolve.. we are just trying to find the trigger to our ability/power the hard part has been stated elsewhere about family and friends we would like to assist... well maybe we can't assist as we would like because the only thing we can tell them is that there is another way but not having adapted to use of that other way limits us maybe the changing of the weather where we have fewer choices - is the trigger... maybe having to basically jump off the cliff is where we grow wings.. but we are on the right track in sharing with each other | |

| I posted an interesting video on HAARP, I too believe in natural weather cycles and changes but all this manipulating Mother Nature has to have fallout. It seems to be a combination of factors both natural and intelligent design in my honest opinion. | |
