Disaster in the Heartland: Wheat Crops in Kansas Are Failing on a Massive Scale
https://uncanceled.news ^ | June 22, 2022 | by Michael Snyder

Posted on 06/22/2022 5:09:41 AM PDT by Red Badger

Did you know that Kansas is known as “the Wheat State”? In 2021, it produced nearly one-fourth of all wheat that was harvested in the United States. Needless to say, we really need Kansas to come up big again this year because the war in Ukraine and a number of other factors have combined to bring us to the precipice of an absolutely horrifying global food crisis. Unfortunately, things are not going well in Kansas this year. In fact, wheat crops in much of the state are failing on a massive scale…

This time of year, the wheat growing in this part of western Kansas should be thigh-high and lush green.

But as a months-long drought continues to parch the region, many fields tell a different story.

“There’s nothing out there. It’s dead,” farmer Vance Ehmke said, surveying a wheat field near his land in Lane County. “It’s just ankle-high straw.”

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.

The situation is particularly dire in the western portion of the state. It is being reported that many fields of wheat in western Kansas now resemble “barren wastelands”…

Across western Kansas, many fields planted with wheat months ago now look like barren wastelands. The gaping spaces between rows of brown, shriveled plants reveal hardened dirt that’s scarred with deep cracks from baking in the sun.

Of all the years for drought to hit western Kansas wheat farmers, it couldn’t have come at a worse time.

Even though the price of wheat has soared to crazy levels, it is being estimated that somewhere around 10 percent of all wheat fields in Kansas will not even grow enough crops to bother harvesting them.

Whether you’ve been jabbed or you’ve been exposed to potential vaccine shedding, you need to look at Dr. Zelenko’s . Recover your health by making your immune system clean, resilient, and resistant.

That is really bad news, but the truth is that things are even worse in Colorado and Texas…

To the west in Colorado, projections say nearly one-third of wheat fields won’t produce enough to bother harvesting. In Texas, around three-quarters of the crop will likely be abandoned.

Please read that again.

This is enormous news, and it is going to deeply affect all of us in the months ahead.

At the worst possible time, wheat crops are failing on a massive scale all over the western half of the nation.

We have been stuck in a pattern of drought that resembles the Dust Bowl days of the 1930s for many years now, and things are starting to happen which would have once been unthinkable.

Lake Mead and Lake Powell have both dropped to all-time record lows, and the drinking water for tens of millions of Americans is now in jeopardy.

I wish that more people would understand the gravity of what we are potentially facing.

Down in Mexico, residents of Monterrey are already being limited to six hours of water a day because shortages have already become so severe…

In the sprawling metropolitan area of Monterrey, home to some 5.3 million people, the drought and years of below-average rainfall have led to citywide water shortages.

“We’re in an extreme climate crisis,” Nuevo Leon Governor Samuel Garcia said at a news conference last week. “Today, we’re all living it and suffering.”

The city in June began limiting water access to six hours a day, forcing schools to adjust class schedules and sparking panic buying of bottled water that emptied supermarket shelves.

The western half of North America is in the midst of the worst multi-year drought that it has experienced in 1,200 years, and experts are telling us that it isn’t going to end any time soon.

Meanwhile, UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed is warning us that the planet is potentially facing “a food crisis of global proportions” in 2023…

First, time is short to prevent a food crisis of global proportions next year. We must stabilize global markets, reduce volatility and tackle the uncertainty of commodity prices. There can be no effective solution to the global food crisis without reintegrating Ukraine’s food production, as well as the food and fertilizer produced by the Russian Federation into world markets — despite the war. To avert a food availability crisis in 2023, we must restore fertilizer availability, especially for smallholder farmers now.

Global food production is going to be way below expectations all over the world this year, and we really are heading into a nightmarish worldwide food crisis.

I hope that you are preparing accordingly.

Before I end this article, there is one more thing that I wanted to mention.

Authorities are telling us that an absolutely massive sunspot known as AR3038 “is now facing Earth”…

An enormous sunspot that has doubled in size in only 24 hours is now facing Earth—meaning it could send a solar flare our way.

This particular sunspot has actually doubled in size for each of the past three days, and at this point it is approximately 2.5 times the size of our entire planet.

And we are being warned that it could “potentially send an M-class solar flare” directly at us…

Support undeniable patriot Mike Lindell (and us!). Buy from MyPillow with promo code “JDR” at checkout or call 800-862-0382.

“Yesterday, sunspot AR3038 was big. Today, it’s enormous,” reads the SpaceWeather.com website. “The fast-growing sunspot has doubled in size in only 24 hours.”

The magnetic field associated with the sunspot means it could potentially send an M-class solar flare at Earth—the second-strongest type. However, it is not known whether this will be the case.

Scientists are assuring us that we probably don’t have anything to be concerned about, and hopefully they are correct.

But let’s keep a close eye on this sunspot anyway.

As I have always warned, it is just a matter of time before another Carrington Event comes along.

We live during such unusual times, and things seem to be getting crazier with each passing week.

The “perfect storm” that so many have been warning about is now here, and the months ahead will be filled with chaos and uncertainty.

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.

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.
