Plains Drought to Curb U.S. Wheat Harvest, Adding to Global Supply Worries

March 14 (Reuters) - A worsening drought in the southern U.S. Plains is threatening the region's winter wheat crop just as the Russian invasion of Ukraine dents global supplies.

Some farmers in southwestern Kansas, the top U.S. wheat producing state, have not received much measurable rain or snow since October. Winter wheat is planted in autumn, lays dormant in winter and begins sending up green shoots in spring. Proper soil moisture is critical at this stage for the crop to thrive.

More than half of Kansas was classified as under severe drought or worse as of March 8, the driest conditions since 2018, according to the National Drought Mitigation Center. Severe drought is also covering three-quarters of Oklahoma and more than two-thirds of Texas, both of which also are large wheat producers.

God works in mysterious ways. And punishes the wicked. But the rain falls on the just and unjust.

But the rain falls on the just and unjust.
But mostly the just, because the unjust will steal umbrellas.

That's the way my Daddy used to phrase it.

The wicked will be cut down for sure - like grass (Psalm 37)

But for the just...

Psalm 55:22
Cast your burden on the LORD, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.

1 Peter 5:7
Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.

Psalm 68:19
Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, the God of our salvation. Selah

With millions of illegals making the track to our country we too will start seeing bread lines of starving people like never ever before. We will not have enough essential materials to grow food in farmland for millions and millions and millions that are pouring into our country plus the US citizens. Frightening crap and no one is doing nothing about it not even Tx governor Abbott or the AZ governor..:😡Folks it’s getting scary and we’re getting to the point of no return.

Bernie will be disappointed.

After all, bread lines means there is food.

If oil can be pumped from Alaska to Mexico, why can flood water be moved from habitually flooded areas to habitually dry areas ?

Yep. Bernie for sure doesn’t want food for you and me. Just for him. His disciples caught on to as far as he is concerned it is all for him and none for them. But once they put him in Power, and if he lives long enough, they will. Then they will learn as he starves them to death.

Illegals ONLY pick crops until they're made legal - then they move into competitions with Americans for entry level jobs. Biden, his intelligence thugs, and white liberal 'elties' are destroying our country.

***Some farmers in southwestern Kansas,***

Did not that area just get plastered with rains and snow?

“...rising drought in the southern U.S. Plains is threatening the region’s winter wheat crop...”

No problem. We can buy it from China. They got theirs buying it to bolster Russia’s military machine. And China will mark it up so we can expect the price of a loaf of bread to be consistent with a gallon of gas. It’s consistent with how the libs want to do it so they can tax it and make their bucks to give away overseas.

Because we stopped being builders and instead became serfs.

We could have build irrigation canals the likes of which have never been seen in history.

Instead we pay kids to have children out of wedlock.

Destroying? We are at the point of no return! I live on the border I see...America is screwed royally. I hear there is like 300,000 making their way to the border as I type this post. By the end of this reckless vegetable cheater in chief term finishes we will easily have garnished over 10 million illegals in this country We’re not even counting the ones that have come in the past. Yep we’re at the point of no return alright! I am not frightened of those that truly want to make a better life for themselves I am frightened to death of the terrorists, cartels and murderers that have entered or will be walking into our streets. I fear for my children..😢

If you guys would see what’s going on on the border your jaws would drop to the floor. I’m talking about illegals brazenly waiting at the border with suitcases 🧳 in hand ready to be picked up by our BP and flown across the country..... Insanity folks insanity!

To make matters worse, word has it that the terrorist nations are sending their most hard-core terrorist to our borders. You would think with this kind of information governors would quickly jump into action and hammer this day in and day out....but no nothing is being done to stem the influx. With all the billions that we’re paying off to these terror nations they’ve got the money to send thousands of terrorist over our border. Folks we are in a world of hurt and no money on the face of this world can fix this problem. Pandora’s box has been opened for one purpose alone to keep the globalist happy and the rats in power. Greed and power will be the demise of this nation.

The only remedy for this catastrophic situation is if the Lord Jesus comes soon for his people.

I know many freepers here will immediately chastise me but unfortunately I see what’s coming over the border and I speak the truth to fact.
