About the only cornfeild I’ve seen this year that looked normal was one that straddles a creek. All the rest around here are yellowing.
It is the opposite of what you stated in reality.
Plant breeders have done an amazing job in making corn hybrids more drought resistant recently; year by year. There will be some areas that will do better than expected due to the increased drought tolerance built in recent hybrids.
GMO’s and other forms of plant breeding, have given all of us a lot more food at lower prices.
There are some very new hybrids (new this year I think); that even take this to a higher level of drought tolerance.
But that trait can only do so much. There is just no water in the ground to pull from
whirled?
Technically ALL corn, an annual plant, “dies” before it is harvested.
OK...actual outcomes and imaginary outcomes??
This is wher I’ll leave you to yourself. Thanks for the conversation.
Yeah, don’t we all pray for whirled peas?
How can there be another outcome? There is only one outcome, the one that God knows before it happens.
There's the actual outcome, that God knows, and conceivable outcomes. Even after the coin has been flipped and seen to come up heads, we can imagine it having come up tails - that's the "other" outcome.
OK...actual outcomes and imaginary outcomes??
Not "imaginary" but conceivable. Do you see some problem with, after a coin flip has come up heads, conceiving of it having come up tails?
Your statement...Likewise, neither does Gods foreknowledge of the outcome mean that the other outcome is impossible. would lead one to believe that you actually know that as a fact.
That's a fact about logical (non)relationships, not about God per se - you implied a contradiction between foreknowledge and judgment when in fact no such contradiction exists.
Maybe the Lord is punishing them for electing a bunch of libtard dumbasses to goverment.
