Knee high by the 4th of July
There is an old farm adage of corn should be "Knee high by the 4th of July" in order to make a mature corn kernel harvest.
This blog was exclusively first in pointing out the threat which was looming on the American horizon as Barack Obama's regime has lessened crop food supplies in America during his tenure in America is eating from hand to harvest, but with what is taking place, America might be eating hand to food ration.
I first exposed that the problem in the Great Plains was no the flooding or environmentalists, but the problem is literally the cereal grain crops.
Do not pay attention to the commodity prices in the least, as the cartels right now are terrified in this Obama Super Depression if grain prices went up to where they should be, it would take your entire retirement or paycheck just to buy bread to feed yourself.
I'm not crying wolf here people in wheat should be trading at 50 dollars a bushel on what I'm observing across the agriculture belts of North America.
While some folks look at Minot, North Dakota flooding, they missed that the Dakotas received another 4 inches of rain this past week.......and those states were already flooded.
This is the primary bread wheat belt in America. In speaking with my Auntie this past week, she related her sister on the Canadian line had to dig a trench through the water to get to her farm......and they have planted nothing this year.
You should be able to figure out that North Dakota and Canada are close, and if this is taking place in North Dakota, it is taking place in bread basket Canada too.
What set off the alarms for me was a conversation this morning of a neighbor whose family lives in Montana. She related the wheat there is brown.........not because it is ripe, but because it is full of rust.
Rust is a brown colored spore which lessens wheat production by 10 percent. In my salad days, I swathed wheat with a Canadian Versatile swather, and saw what it would do, and how you and the implement would be covered with a sixteenth inch of this powder in cutting a field.
You get rust when it is wet and cool, and that is what America is.
The Montana wheat is winter wheat, which is your pasta wheat, as what is grown in the Kansas region. You know that there has been immense moisture in the southern plains to the absolute inferno in Texas. None of that brings bountiful harvests upon the fruited plain.
I have been testing this year heirloom corn. My corn is to my shins. It will take a miracle to reach knee high by the 4th this year. I have news for you in that my corn is actually taller than most Monsanto crops, and my brother who just passed through the Dakotas reported that their crops are even more stunted than what my test plots are growing at.
The corn is yellow due to too much cold and moisture.
What I'm stating here is this is not a horizon event now in the food shortages in America, it has now come across that horizon. I have counselled you children to plant gardens and to lay in a stock of flour, pasta and cereals, as you might not like weevils in your grain, but hungry people find them quite nice compared to starving.
I advocate now, do nor horde, but people should be putting in a supply of flour, beans and rice as when the North Dakota Ag Secretary was talking rationing in that state weeks ago, there is a problem in the system everyone should be aware of, as this Obama regime has been lying and criminally manipulating commodity prices for years now.
Do not though buy that poison cheap flour filled with "things" or that Monsanto poison crops as the last thing you need is to be made ill with inflammatory diseases.
I do not see this rectifying this year. In the last year models which this year is following, it did not warm in America until almost August 1st, and then was hot by God's Grace for crop maturation. This year the wheat is two weeks to a month behind, and while wheat will make a crop, the corn and beans are behind in the extreme.
As a test case, it took forever in my plots for my heirloom potatoes to sprout. One variety from Slovenia I had to replant and it is just coming up. I have no hope for these though as I have some Dutch potatoes in another plot for "summer potatoes" which are spindles and in horrid looking condition.
Late planting in numerous cases gives you low yields.
So now you have more information, and if the wet cool continues as it seems is the case, after this 4th warm up, it should follow another cooling trend in more moisture.
Wisconsin it is raining every day and that rain tracks to the food basket of America of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.
You have no idea how God made this all work and how America rejecting God for messiah Obama now is witnessing how those crops which grew so well in tenuous lands, are now causing conversations of food rationing in the very regions which used to overflow with food.
Pay attention children.
