Looks like vegetable prices are headed even higher!

What about marijuana? (sarcasm)

[cripplecreek]

Good thing my supply from last summer has barely been touched.

[GonzoGOP]

Wow, one more disaster caused by record rains and cold. But i thought that global warming was going to bring about extreme heat and drought?

[ClearCase_guy]

Coming inflation blamed on Global Warming in ... 3 ... 2 ...

[dirtboy]

This is why cooling is a bad thing and warming is a good thing.

As if the corn thing wasn’t bad enough

I am a transportation consultant and bid / sell transport of commodities including crops. I have been alerted by two clients in the past week that they are backing out of dedicated transport agreements because of the lack of available exports from Mexico of produce over the next two months. We aren’t talking a few truckloads, we’re talking thousands of truckloads. The word is that “nothing is going to be available out of Mexico for export until at least April”.

Global Warming guru Algore – wearing his ever present Nobel medal – is seen here en-route to an important “scientific” conference in Nassau hosted by the UN/IPCC where he was to be the keynote speaker.

Topics on the agenda were to have included “Finding a Good Bail Bondsman,” “Not ALL Criminal Lawyers Are Sharks,” “Changing Careers for Dummies,” “You Want Fries With That?,” “How To Encrypt Emails,” “The Best Prison Jobs,” “Getting Along With Your Cellmate” and “Getting Used to Sleeping On Your Back.”

A sudden – and unfortunate – blast of what the “scientist” in charge of the conference termed “global warming” caused the meeting to be rescheduled until Algore can be thawed some time next Spring – assuming there will BE one.

Our reporter has learned that the influential conservative web site Free Republic has launched a contribution drive to rent a freezer locker in which to keep Gore for the 10 to 15 years estimated it will take for the so-called “mainstream media” to begin covering the Climategate story.

Good thing I have a freezer filled with the harvest from last year!

And I like canned tomatoes.

... BUSH'S FAULT

[BenLurkin]

Initial estimates said up to 80 percent of the crops in Mexico were damaged or destroyed by the freeze. Days later, observation experts scaled back those numbers, although that doesn’t mean the problem isn’t expected to be huge.

...

The good news is, since the freeze, growers have reported seeing positive signs in their crops.

“Each day that’s passed since then, we’re finding that there’s less and less damage. It’s not to say there isn’t any damage but we’re finding that the plants will recuperate and we will see harvests,” Jungmeyer said.

Until then, there’s no telling when the growers might be operating at full steam. It depends on how quickly the plants can recover.

THE DEVASTATING FREEZE IN MEXICO IS WORST FREEZE IN OVER 50 YEARS...

Oklahoma set their all-time record law this week. This is truly memorable cold and I hope it's not the beginning of a very bad trend. The world got fat on a warmer climate. Cooling is very, very bad if you examine history.

[Montanabound]

I had not even thought of that when they reported that Mexico wasn’t going to sell Texas power last week because they were getting their own cold weather.

Well that explains in part the crazy prices on citrus. I thought it was more FL being hit a few months back.

Here's an announcement to its customers that I'm told came directly from Sysco Foods.

Here's a somewhat better source: Freeze hits Mexican vegetables .

[AU72]

I just want to know if the mezcal plants have been saved!
