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:
Hahahaha you idiots, I’m gluten intolerant! All my breads were already stupid expensive because they’re made with oats and potato starch and shit
Wheat scientist here,
I don’t live there, but I know that the Palouse growing region has had a very wet spring. Last year’s harvest was bad. This year’s winter wheat is looking fine. Next time I get a chance to talk to someone there I’ll ask if the moisture messed with the spring wheat planting.
The wheat harvest in the US is gonna be fucked this year btw
Anyone know any virgin-fool kings for a day btw?
Farmers have huge stocks of grain supplies but if the war continues then we’ll likely pay a premium for wheat supplies that would normally be used for feed. Any shortage of cereals are conditions for famine.
