Anecdotal and I’d love to be wrong about this, buuuut I’m in the rural midwest rn and all of the wheat fields in like a 75 mile radius from me look like they’re absolutely fucked.
It’s basically all turned gold already which is super early for it, especially because it’s still short as fuck, like maybe a foot tall — it’s usually still green until it’s like 4 feet tall. The people who’ve lived here for a long time have been talking about how abnormal it is. I’m not a wheat scientist and haven’t really gotten into with anyone who knows what they’re actually talking about so I don’t totally know what it means, but I know it doesn’t mean anything good
Prob a good idea to stock up on food if you’ve got the means
:doomer:
Not that big of a problem, the US mostly exports domestic grain supply :porky-happy:
And then imports grain for domestic use from… Russia and Ukraine :porky-scared-flipped:
I don’t even understand how that makes sense in capitalism. Moving shit around the world costs labor and therefor profits. How could it possibly be more profitable to do it that way instead of the obvious way that makes sense?
