Ummm, if true - food prices will be going waaaaay up.

Not necessarily.

I think the real cold weather kills a lot of the bugs, and if the bugs being killed feed on the crops, it might increase it.

Further, even if it wasn’t so cold, it would still be too cold to grow anything. I think temps during the growing season are a lot more critical as far as food supply.

Good points. I was thinking about a shorter growing season ... puts a damper on crops...
