2012, another year of declining food reserves

The last few days have seen more record highs in Kansas for late October.  This years corn crop in the US was the smallest in 17 years, and already next years wheat crop, just planted, is at risk with soil moisture 21% of what is considered a proper level for sprouting.

  1. Darrel,
    Brownback has a plan - a heavy snowfall this winter will negate the drought. Well, I don't put a lot of faith in long range forcasts - But, a wet winter may not happen.
    Indiana's corn harvest in bleak and the soy bean crop isn't much better.

    Do we need to do cloud seeding?
