The Upcoming Wheat Crisis 
 
Tickers in this Article: SYT, DBA, JJG, GRU, JJA, RJA

While most Americans have never heard of Ugandan 99 (Ug99) or Stem Rust fungus, it is a hugely growing concern in the world of agriculture and food production. Nearly 80% of the world's most widely grown crop is in danger, and farmers in the United States estimate that nearly 10 billion dollars of wheat could be lost if the fungus makes it to.....blahblahblah.....

1. This is by an investment accountant trying to sell you stuff. Take it with a grain of salt.

Yes they quote international sources - but are the quotes accurate and in context?

2. Yeah I know. But if it's true it's interesting.

3. wheat isn't good for you anyway and you can brew beer from rice (eg Budweiser, Tsingtao)

The chiclet primitive is full of shit.

8. 2 reasons off the bat

white flour (how most of us consume wheat) becomes glue in our guts and is very difficult to eliminate, clogging our colon & preventing proper absorption of nutrients & causing big guts.

a large percentage of humans are wheat-sensitive, and exposure causes a range of reactions similar to lactose intolerance.

The chiclet primitive is full of more shit, especially on the second point.

5. What's wrong with wheat???? And most beer is brewed from barley, not wheat.

Even "wheat beers" usually have at least 40% barley malt because barley produces a more superior malt.

Wheat is a perfectly fine grain except for the small percent of the population which cannot tolerate gluten.

The buzzy one; one's very happy to see the buzzy one, a non-primitive on Skins's island, somehow still manages to survive in an environment and among primitives hostile to him.

6. Uh, yeah. Some soybean disease was going to obliterate our crops about 10 years ago. It didn't.

Devastating plant diseases are always around. Our crop breeders seem to keep us above the fray.

I guess this could be the big one. Maybe, maybe not.

7. Soybean rust. You are correct that plant breeders usually keep ahead of the diseases.

And in the case of soybean rust, it turns out that it cannot overwinter in a temperate climate, which severely limits its potential for causing a pandemic.

One is curious about something.  Why is the Joanne98 primitive reading stock prospectii, when she should be advocating for the poor prisoners?

Yep,lost track of all the end of the world calamities that were going to happen in my lifetime and none have.

Still they are hellbent on the global warming charade.

The part that the Primitive forgot to mention is that the reason for the threat in the first place is that this summer is unusually cold and wet. Stem Rust likes wet conditions, and about 70F temperature. --Pretty much the same as most molds and fungi.

In other words, the main reason the stem rust threat exists as much as it does this year is the planet stubbornly refuses to be globally warm, and plagued with drought, as Lord Gore decreed.

Talked to a guy that comes to the office I work in daily.  Farms about 100 acres.  His wheat went to crap, not even cutting it for the co-op.  just going to cut it down, leave it for cover for the game birds come fall and winter.  Figures that he can make a little money getting hunters on the property. 

He is not the only one around here with bad crops.  Expect a lousy harvest out of this area.  Hard red wheat, not really used for bread, but the cost will go up.

You see, I don't care you how feel.  I really don't.  More importantly, neither does anyone else.  Only about 200 people on a planet of 7 billion actually care about your feelings, and that's if you're lucky.  The sooner you grasp this lesson, the better off you will be.  And since almost no one gives a damn what you do, say, think, or feel, appealing to your feelings when you encounter differences of opinion is not only illogical, but useless.

I wonder if he would be open to the idea of stocking his fields with DUmmys???  :evillaugh:

Yep, the actual global cooling that has been going on for the last few years is going to have very adverse effects on the poor of the world.

I haven't seen much as far as wheat fields here, but the corn and soy bean plants are much shorter and thinner than in past years.  Cool weather combined with a lot of rain kept the fields from being planted as early as most years.

Yep, we did come close to a disaster two years ago.  There was a general crop failure in the southern hemisphere and global food stocks went from 30 days to 15.  Had the flooding in the Midwest gone on much longer or been worse, we could have all been in a hurt.

Before modern farming including herbicide and pesticide was invented there was a crop failure on average every seven years.

Because of the mild temps and over abundant rainfall this year, my hay is OUTSTANDING! Just harvested my first 40. and I'm averaging better than 4 tons an acre! Most years I average 3. Global COOLING is definitely helping me out this year. My yield is way up from previous "global warming" years! It usually dries it out too fast due to high temps in the end of June.

Stick that in your bongs and smoke it, DUmp monkeys! Tell me again about this heat wave we're going to have.
