Just for you.
Talks about land acquisition in light of the coming GSM and the reason for the paris climate agreement and WHERE the money is going and for what...
hint: we’re still subsidizing china bigtime.

Thanks. Very interesting. There’s a boatload of additional info in the replies to that tweet. I read a few months ago that Russia was building the largest grain storage ever in Egypt.
In the USA, the maps I have seen, reduce the corn/wheat belt area. Approximately half a state further south. So the uppermost states in the Midwest could have some troubles in that regard.
I think Mo. will be all right with some additional help from things like cold frames or green houses to extend the season. We already switched to shorter maturity heirloom veggies.
We currently have a pretty long summer season-enough to get 2 crops. So even if that shortens, we should be able to grow some stuff. Plus we can grow winter wheat, rye, garlic etc. with out even using row covers, so as temps get colder, we’ll just use row covers and straw as needed.
We are in zone 6, but we buy zone 4 if possible for the fruit and berries/perenials.
Our Mayor told me that we have a lot of people moving to Mo. and buying land due to good rain and growing seasons going forward, and land is pretty cheap here compared to other places.
