Ouch, JR. I saw something on a site I frequent (UrbanSurvival.com) last week, where the site owner blogged that he had seen the latest weekly USDA Crop Report (comes out on Mondays). He figured out that somewhere on the order of over 79% of this year's crops should be either in the ground, or coming up through the ground. He found out that 12.36% of the crop is either in the ground, or coming up through the ground.
The conclusion? Major food crises (yes, plural) coming this fall.
