Possible... but there are worse things on the horizon.

There is a new fungus out there, a “rust” that attacks wheat. It can wipe out an entire field in a few days.

We’ve learned along time ago that no matter what we do to try to prevent these types of things from spreading, the best we can do is delay it - not stop it.

When this thing hits the US mainland and Canada, stories about bumper wheat crops and things like bread and crackers might be the type of thing you tell your grandkids. If they can avoid starving.
