Farm Ping!.........................
Get ready for Lawn Clipping Whoppers.
Wonder why they don’t put a water pipeline across the US. Therefore if a state is getting tons of rain and flooding, send it over to the states that need it. Water is not hazardous or polluting so the greenies should not have a problem with that.
No doubt about it, it’s bad in the west but there’s always next year. I know it’s probably a coincidence but I’ve NEVER seen two drought years in a row. Sometimes I feel that by Byedone being in the Whitehouse is a curse on this country.
Let’s see if Beef prices take a temporary dip.
Michael Snyder loves to forecast disaster after disaster after disaster after catastrophe to promote his narrative. That is how he validates himself.
This is not the first time ranchers have had to cull their herds due to drought.
[[Everybody is talking about how they have never seen anything like this before]]
Yeah sure- never had severe droughts before. .ast year California was so bad they regulated whe. People could use water.
Every weather event now is a “worst In History” event evidently.
What an odd thing to say.
Seems like a meat glut is coming in the near term, with all those animals getting butchered.
After that is gone, THEN we're in trouble...
I hope we have a federal program to buy up this glut of meat and destroy it so we can continue to drive up the price of red meat and transition the people for a sustainable future eating bugs.
Wait, just six months ago it was “this summer we will have unprecedented food shortages.”
So far, nada. Yes prices are up (as are all prices). There are occasional specialty varieties that aren’t as abundant. But this is becoming a fear-mongering mantra.
I know farmers can get crop insurance. Can cattle raisers (”ranchers” I suppose) get cattle insurance?
85/15 ground beef on sale at $1.98 a pound last weekend. We laid a bunch in. Vacuum seal and deep freeze.

It takes two years for a calf to reach maturity

If herds are severely reduced, it will take several years to recover.
Just a bunch of histrionics but no data.
The horror, the horror. The temperature will be 100! Did anyone bother to tell the writer that the average for this time of year is 96. I wish I had a nickel for every time the temperature got over 100 in a Texas summer.
***Everybody is talking about how they have never seen anything like this before, and if the drought in the Southwest persists the lines could soon get even longer.***
1952 was so dry our wheat did not even come up.
1957-1958 comes to mind when Dad sold our herds due to the drought. It has happened many times before.
It was hotter in 1936. Hottest temperature ever recorded here: 120 F, Ozark, northwest Arkansas, 8/10/1936.
“1936 North American Heat Wave,” Before there was Glo-Bull Warming to blame.
There were lots of heat waves before glo-Bull Warming.
In 1831 it was so hot all the water holes on the Santa Fe Trail went dry.
1834, Oklahoma was so hot the Comanche chiefs told George Catlin even the oldest warrior had never seen it so dry.
1901 Eastern US Heat wave killed 9500.
1911 US heat wave killed up to 3000 people.
1930-1939 super hot dust bowl years
1952 so dry it forced us off the High Plains. I never saw that country green until 2013.
So... frozen instead of fresh?
Trump and crew would be all over this. Airlifting hay if need be.
Brandon thinks it’s a feature, not a bug. In fact, his crew wants us to eat bugs. For real.
Anyone know how long beef will keep in a sub-zero freezer?
Back in the day, major water works projects were created to protect against this kind of thing. It took the environmental movement to dismantle those protections and stop other needed projects from moving forward. We must destroy the environment, in order to protect it.
Just more Chicken Little stuff.
