“Disaster in the Heartland: Wheat Crops in Kansas Are Failing on a Massive Scale”
FAKE NEWS!!! They’re not blaming it on Putin. Expect an update once the Administration gets wind of the story.
At this point, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is telling us that 41 percent of all wheat in Kansas is in “poor” or “very poor” condition.

For this administration, the important thing is knowing what Kansas wheat’s pronouns are.
actually this administration is happy- positive 41% is a fantastic number for them.
Control the food, control the people
Our more successful farmers in LA (lower Alabama) are irrigating crops at considerable expense. The rest are often “insurance farmers”, they are paid to fail.
Good choice of verse.
Capitalism has made the climate gluten-intolerant?
Droughts are caused by environmental cooling, not warming.
Warming causes more water to evaporate and eventually rain down.
Man cannot live by bread alone.
We are about to find out.........................
A major factor in the Great Depression, and one that is not much examined any more, is the fact that a widespread drought was also occurring in the western plains, and the Dust Bowl was one of the results, as marginal land that had been forced into farming no longer got the natural moisture to sustain its function. That in turn caused a great migration within the US, and considerable development of forms of irrigation and farmland utilization. Conservation, they called it, and it was a mighty force to stave off the very worst of the collapse of agriculture, but then, the philosophy took a nasty little turn, and “conservation” became the locking up of natural resources “for the future”.
A future that was miserly, marked by hoarding and artificial scarcities, until very little was allowed to be dribbled out, permitting a meager existence but no growth.
We cut our wheat Monday on our NW Oklahoma farm. We lucked out and got a good crop. The area hasn’t had any widespread rain since March. But, our farm managed to get enough spotty showers to carry it through. Many other farms in NW OK lost their crop though. It was not a good year. Not much wheat sitting in the silos. Now comes the waiting game watching the wheat price and knowing when to sell it.
Who is the best and cheapest prepper food supplier? Patriot Supply?
Don’t wait too long, else the government may seize it.........................
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday […] it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it. [...] The eyeless crature at the other table swallowed it fanatically. passionately, with a furious desire to track down, denounce, and vaporize anyone who should suggest that last week the ration had been thirty grams. Syme, too-in some more double complex way, involving doublethink-Syme, swallow it. Was he, then, alone in the possession of a memory?”
― Orwell George, 1984
No Communist country can feed its self. There is always a drought or some other ‘out of our control emergency’ that causes the wheat crop to fail.
This was said during the Dust Bowl and Great Depression.
They always have a scapegoat...................Today, ours is Putin and Climate Change...................
