Rain in a specific locale is “weather”

Does farmer Benham trust the government to control the weather?

Interesting. In Illinois, the yield per acre increased ...

So we never had a lot of rain before?? Sometimes it rains a lot....sometimes we wait for rain.

Find a solution.

So one specific crop is impacted by wetter weather. Farmers of old would plan for this and change their crops. Am I missing something?

At Jim Benham's soybean farm in Versailles, Ill., he says 20 acres of crops have been ruined this year by excessive rain – a casualty of climate change.

Apparently Jim Benham, soybean farmer, is also a climate expert. We've had record rains in my area this year, breaking the previous record that was set in - wait for it - 1882!

“When we have a rain event”

Farmers don’t talk like that.

Lucky for Dubya that DJT got elected in 2016, or Glo-bull Warming would STILL be Bush’s fault. And, given the changing demographics in voting patterns, it could be a while after 2024 that we have another Republican president on which to blame all the woes of the world.

I spent last week in Illinois, there was a light rain on Thursday night. Could be an ominous warning!

“”It doesn’t take a scientist to know you have a problem. “

This really sums up the global warming hysteria in a nutshell.

So the ratmedia found one old brain dead soyboy farmer to toot the Glowbull warning horn.

Impressive. NOT.

Soybean yield per acre in Illinois is averaging 10% higher than last year. This poor sop must be catching all the bad breaks weather-wise.

20 acres of soybeans. That is not a farm, that is a large home garden.

In Texas that might not even rate a FFA student.

Unbelievably poor reporting. It literally took me 15 seconds to find this reference and set of data.

This latest ‘climate change’ push is to protect Jerry Brown’s ass.

And what’s worse, the 67-year-old farmer says he doesn’t need a Ph.D. to know that things have changed.

...

Doen’t take a PhD to know that CBS is full of it.
