If the extreme drought in the western half of the country keeps going, the food supply problems that we are experiencing right now are only going to be the tip of the iceberg. As you will see below, the size of the U.S. cattle herd has dropped to a 61 year low, and organic food shortages are being reported all over the nation. Surprisingly cold weather and increasing demand for organic food have both been a factor, but the biggest threat to the U.S. food supply is the extraordinary drought which has had a relentless grip on the western half of the country. If you check out the U.S. Drought Monitor, you can see that drought conditions currently stretch from California all the way to the heart of Texas. In fact, the worst drought in the history of the state of California is happening right now. And considering the fact that the rest of the nation is extremely dependent on produce grown in California and cattle raised in the western half of the U.S., this should be of great concern to all of us.
A local Fox News report that was featured on the Drudge Report entitled "Organic food shortage hits US" has gotten quite a bit of attention. The following is an excerpt from that article...
Since Christmas, cucumbers supplies from Florida have almost ground to a halt and the Mexican supply is coming but it's just not ready yet.
And as the basic theory of economics goes, less supply drives up prices.
Take organic berries for example:
There was a strawberry shortage a couple weeks back and prices spiked.
Experts say the primary reasons for the shortages are weather and demand.

You really don't know?
It is a scientific (and medical) FACT that people who eat organic food will die some of the most horrible deaths that mankind can think up!
It may be compounded by the fact that folks will also drink slighty adulterated Dihydrogen Monoxide with meals.

Darned good advice!
Al Roker was all atwitter over the lack of snow cover out west this morning on the Today® Show.
Were NONE of the carcases salvageable?
We will not all die from an overdose of good health.
Oh NO!!!
What did the DEER die of?
If you were an NJrancher instead of an nm one; you could walk a few of those beef creatures over to the Governor’s house (avoiding any bridges of course); have a good ol’ fashioned cookout and perhaps change some minds.
Tell me about it!
LOL
love goats, they do have a mind of their own...
He would have been about in the middle of this plot just below the memorial.
What the deuce is that?
Seriously ... maybe a better question: Is the artist (term used loosely), by any chance, from Colorado?
DO NOT, as you value your life, go ANYWHERE NEAR 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Yes, they get one or two muleys almost every night along here. It was strange in an interesting way to have an eagle hanging around here for several days. Normally they are away from the highway. In that previous plot there is a spring about in the middle of that north twenty where a very large buck hangs with 15-20 of his group.
The virgin river is about 100 yards east and they all come down at night to water, cross the highway “deer in the headlights” and BAM. In 15 years I have only hit two.
There’s no way USDA would allow that meat in the market.
