Global Starvation Imminent as US Faces Crop Failure
standeyo.com/NEWS/09_Food_Water/090621.global.starvation.com.html
HOLLY NOTE: We have posted articles continuously for the past 3 years detailing depletion of US and global grain reserves to record lows, grain thefts in Kansas, food shortages, rising food prices and resulting food riots, in hopes that you get this message: As tough as it might be right now, this is definitely the time to purchase significant food stocks. If you have missed any of these articles, please check the Food & Water ARKives for 2009, 2008 and 2007. This issue is too vital for you not to understand the whole picture.
The Midwest is at the heart of our grain production. All it takes to devastate food supplies is one bad drought or flood. We are already seeing previews of these events. Last year the Midwest experienced extreme flooding and too much rainfall, which ruined at least $8 billion worth of crops. Conversely, an on-going unrelenting 3-year drought threatens America's "salad bowl". Most startling though, is this year's unusually cold spring that delayed plantings, stressed crops and hurt fruit production. In the background is a ticking food time-bomb – wheat rust – the No. 1 threat to the world's most widely grown crop.
Worst of all is the emotional toll these crop failures and financial strain take on growers. Farm-related suicides are becoming all too common in America, Australia and New Zealand and India.
Daily news address rampant concerns over rice, wheat, corn and soybean shortages. Last year, food rationing and hoarding crept into reality...
It's not enough that a huge portion of our grains goes to biofuel, tenuous crops are further impacted by a higher global demand for wheat-based foods on dinner tables.
Stock up now - buy in bulk - and pack for long-term storage any grain products and foods you regularly consume. It's easy, it's great insurance and will save you loads of money in the long run. The longer you delay, prices are only going to escalate, your options will dwindle, along with selection. Please do this before your options close.
When reading news articles, it is our hope you'll read beyond the headlines and hear the unspoken message - a quiet urging to prepare.
