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:
Damn I’m starting to imagine the sorts of takes we’ll see pushed to manufacture consent for invading Canada lol
I guess it depends on who’s in office. Republicans, it’ll be the playbook for countries that are starting to teeter towards socialism, all “some calling election results illegitimate” and funneling arms to reactionary paramilitary groups. Dems, try to smear them over “human rights” esp treatment of the First Nations people there, blatantly refusing to acknowledge the genocide of indigenous people they’ve been committing for centuries
