Something is killing crops, trees, even weeds and nobody can explain why.
Farmers are scratching their heads and some are worried their crops may be lost to the mysterious plague.
It's happening along a large swath of land near the Shelby and Tipton county border along Herring Hill Road and elsewhere near the Mississippi River bottoms.
Tiny dots appear to have burned onto leaves of all types of plants, and they appear different depending on the plant.
On corn stalks, the dots seem to turn white in the center.
On other plants, a white dust speckles the leaves and then destroys the green life underneath.

Sounds like fungus, but the description is pretty thin.
It’s those oil dispersants that BP is using.
Agent orange?
I’m no environazi, but it is puzzling just HOW MANY weird diseases, fungi, and bugs are killing wide swaths of vegetation in different areas.
In the east you have gypsy moths, in the South, you have the weird fungus killing the trees in the Smokies, in the West, something killing the Ponderosa Pines and such...
Obama’s fault.
No, really.
Wow, it’s amazing with all going on in the world of politics and war, we have mysterious plant diseases.
It reminds me of the dust storms in the breadbasket of the US beginning at the WORST possible time.
I mentioned on another thread about this...read H P Lovecraft’s THE BLASTED HEATH. ;-(
WE ALL GONNA DIE!
Between this, the grasshoppers out west, and the honeybee devestation, maybe God really is sending plagues.

An overshot by a crop duster in the area spraying herbicides?
They should contact Mississippi State. They have a top notch agriculture and horticulture program and many talented researchers there.
They don’t produce sterile plants, you just can’t catch the seed for yourself or Monsanto will sue the pants off of you.
I’m not pooh-poohing the starving nation thing because nature alone could take care of that all by itself. One reason the U.S. has remained prosperous is that the weather is so varied.
One reason fungi might be attacking is that it has been so cold and the plants aren’t healthy.
My mom-in-law had some tomato and pumpkin plants as a result of fruit that fell to the ground and was never picked up. She was quite excited about not having to buy tomatoes and pumpkins last year. Problem was that they never produced anything.
Chemtrails
Bush’s Fault.
Maybe the release of Sulphur Dioxide and Sulphur Trioxide from the Lucite plant near there on May 25th has something to do with it.

Inexpert guess: fungal diseases...
It sounds like a fungus to me.
