The ultimate “retart writers corner” piece.
It amazes me what people will do for attention.
I live in Michigan.
Pretty sure the only cherry shortage will be due to liberal views on sex.
As a son of a farmer/cattleman, there is so damn much corn this year that some have quit combining because the grain storage facilities are full, no place to take it till some gets hauled away. In the corn belt, probably the best year, crop wise in the last century, but the lib, who has probably never even seen a corn or bean field, says it’s becoming a thing of the past due to global warming.
All Freepers welcome in my well-fortified bunker! :)
Corn? Beans? Hell man Monsanto can GM corn that can grow on Mars. Loons.

Finally getting rid of cherries....hate them.
As for the rest, chocolate will be missed but some of those are best for us to pass on anyway.
East central Illinois: Haven’t talked to the farmer in church for a few weeks, he’s been too busy harvesting, but early on there were a significant number of reports of 300 bu/acre. He was looking at an average of above 270. Just heard from our farmer in southeast Nebraska - reported a dry land yield of 173 bu/acre. Up to about 10-15 years ago dry land farmers there and in Kansas used to raise milo instead of corn since it was more drought tolerant. Someone let Monsanto loose and the current corn hybrids will produce and milo has pretty much disappeared.
2012 was the worst drought year in the corn belt, but 2013 was also quite dry after the end of June. However, there was a record corn yield in 2012. This year, 2014, was nearly ideal for growing and the dept of ag prediction of a record yield looks low.
You're saying California doesn't have a drought? Really?
It’s a desert.
Some of it is. More of it is when there's a drought. Pretty sure there's a drought underway.
Is it Cain’s. That is my favorite even though I live in Memphis, TN.
Aaaaaagh!!!
How about a warning or something....
The statistics are possibly scientific and won’t support the suggestions?
Folgers... :)
I’ll eat your Brussels Sprouts any day of the week.
Split and gently sauteed in butter: Heavenly!
Also good parboiled then roasted with a drizzle of olive oil, garlic, dried cranberries and finally lightly sprinkled with fresh grated parmesan cheese.
