Changes in the sun is shortening growing season while credit crunch leaves farmers unable to purchase fertilizer at a time when world food supplies are at all time lows. Crop failures around the world are snowballing into a dangerous climax that may lead to social unrest and famine. Suggest reading entire article and links within it. Very scary... and this is happening... it is not conjecture. A mini ice age may be on the way because of sunspot cycles and already existing empty grain, coffee, et al silos.

No, I am talking about Agri-Pro.
Monsanto is a player in another crop area, but the strategy is the same. Monopoly.
This translates into much higher food and fiber prices, and many who will do something else instead of risk the legal exposure.
In the past State University research efforts were aimed at helping agriculture produce, now they have been sold out and are helping build monopolies that will ultimately drive operating costs higher.
They are not trying to build a better mouse trap, but running a multi-level marketing system. Costs more.
We currently use Sesame as a rotation crop for wheat and it is effective. Timing is the only problem. It cost us this year, because we were late harvesting the sesame and did not get enough rain after planting. Total crop failure for us this year.
Yes, I know.
Used to be a farmer. Bought my fertilizer by the 35 ton truckload.
What I’m telling you is that this guy doesn’t know his ass from a hot rock about crop production.
Amen brother.
Wheat pollen is carried by wind. Dissemination is limited by its relatively high weight and small quantities. Furthermore, wheat pollen only remains viable for a very short period of time (a few minutes to three hours).
GMO Compass
Just saying...
