Kansas wheat quality expected to be high despite drop in yield after yearslong drought

LAWRENCE — Kansas’ wheat quality is estimated to be above average and high in protein this year because of a lack of rain, according to Farmers Business Network’s senior commodity analyst Rejeana Gvillo.

Such findings from a mid-May wheat tour through Kansas conducted by the Wheat Quality Council are the good news. The bad news is an estimated 100 million bushel drop in wheat yield production for the state, according to U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall as he testified before the Senate Agriculture Committee in Washington, D.C., last week.

“I think that about 30% of our average yield is going to be impacted by drought this year,” Marshall said. “That’s a value of over a billion dollars to the state of Kansas.”

A persistent La Niña weather pattern that has failed to give way over the past three years facilitates hotter and drier weather conditions for the United States’ key production areas, according to Gvillo.

On the other hand, the dry weather has produced perfect conditions for little pest and fungus damage, resulting in higher quality wheat. Millers tend to pay more for higher quality wheat, according to Kansas State University.

So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.

FWIW, the wheat fields around me (Wichita area) are doing well. My wheat farmer brother got 60 bushels/acre, which is darn good. Sold it for over $10/bushel, so he came out good this year.

“””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.”””


That seems to me to be extremely well put together, as though it is a quotable line from a good novel.

(We may be entering the Great Tribulation)

Not yet, friend.

The 7-year peace deal must be confirmed first.

However, famine is brought by one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse but only after the first rider (Revelation 6:2) is loosed upon the world by the Lamb (Jesus Christ).

For lurkers who may be wondering, the first horseman in Revelation 6:2 is Satan’s coming anti-messiah.

God bless you JS for watching the signs of the times.

✝️🙏🛐

2 Chronicles 7:13-14

“When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among My people, if My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

“Get right with your Maker…”. .It amazes me that all our older and supposedly wiser, powerful citizens (Biden, Soros, Pelosi etc) don’t reflect and act on this every day. Given their ages, every day is a gift.

They are rich with the wealth of this world 🌍, by the god of this world 🌎🌍.

The deceitfulness of riches.

Mark 4:18-19

21st Century King James Version
18 And these are they which are sown among thorns, such as hear the Word,

19 but the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the Word, and it becometh unfruitful.

A slight adjustment for readability

Mark 4:18-19

21st Century King James Version

18 And these are they which are sown among thorns, such as hear the Word,

19 but the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the Word, and it becometh unfruitful.

I hope that you are preparing accordingly.

Key pull quote from the original article. You will also note some actual prepper type food purchase ads in the article. Somehow those always seem to be included in these food apocalypse articles. Almost makes a person wonder if there is an underlying agenda.
