Small dots appear to "burn" through leaves Area affected is along Tipton and Shelby County line Farmers afraid they may lose their entire crop
(Memphis 6/1/2010) A mystery is unfolding across MidSouth farms.
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.
"We found it all in the herbs, in the flowers, in the plum tree, in the weeds," said organic farmer Toni Holt. "It's apparently in everything."
Holt grows organic produce that she sells at area farmers' markets.
As she and other farmers inspect the new growth covered in the perplexing plague, they fear their entire crop may be lost.
Damage from the BP oil spill. /sarc
BP
“Holt grows organic produce”
I wonder if any non organic farms are having similar problems.
Sounds like a nanotech device.
Not sure...Wonder why none of the major news programs have not reported on this?
It’s the end of the world, as we know it.
no sarc-
what is going to come in the rainfall that evaporates from those areas of the Gulf where tons of toxic dispersants are being dumped
I believe you are right....

Sounds like a regional story to me, not really national implications. Yet.
I’ve seen that here in the Pacific Northwest, particularly on rhodendrons.
Always believed it had something to do with mildew or mold, and occurs during periods of high humidity and damp.
It says in the video that they are.
You really think Obama is gonna tell you anything...
Then you would think it would have happened before. The Memphis area is the most hot, humid place I’ve lived ~ and that’s saying something because I live in Florida now.
NO..I think now moe than ever, anything and everything the Government put’s out is going to be:
1. A lie
2. A Deception
3. A exhaggeration
4. A false sense of calm
5. This is what we have now *WOLVES* dressed in *SHEEP’S* clothing.
Revelation 8:7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
It is starting to sound more likely every day.
Obama’s fault
The flood that keeps on giving. MOLD
I have seen this on my squash and tomato plants here in SW Virginia, but it’s not killing them. It has been a very wet, humid year, so I put it down to mold, blooming after a few very dry years. The newer growth doesn’t have it; only growth that is about a month old.
