Glenn Beck said yesterday that the amount of farmland that has been flooded by this flood is larger than the entire state of Connecticut.
Think about that for a minute. Then, tend your garden, because food prices are about to launch.
The land for the parish community garden at my church was plowed Sunday morning. As I was there waiting for the farmer to get there, a whitetail doe ran out from the eastern woodline, across the land we were about to plow up, across the driveway, and into the woods on the west side of the driveway. It looked as if its' midsection was full--probably about to drop a fawn or two. But, the thing didn't raise her tail. I was thinking, "We're here, about to put in a full-service salad bar for these critters. Gotta pick up that deer repellent I saw at Home Depot."
