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

American wheat only gets 4ft tall? Maybe I’m wrong but in Australia it only grows like 2ft.

Yeah average height is like 4ft for summer wheat. I think winter wheat is shorter
