Pretty sure the 2030 bit refers to an earth bound asteroid in the Taurid meteor belt??
I do really like his vids....often there's quite a lot of material and it's easier then going to different sources....
However he can be a bit 'excitable'

He is, in regards to wheat. MSP wheat closed down 6+ today. You can bend a wheat stem and it will continue to kernal fill. It is when the stem breaks. It doesn't have to break off, but the cellulose structure gets broken and the transmission from root to head is incomplete. Like a water hose with a leak in it.

The larger threat is army worms and.fungi infection.

He does get excited. I'm topping off my emergency rations (pinto and black beans in strong, airtight 12-lb bags) while they're still less than $0.80 per pound at Sams Club. The Amish provide the other grains and legumes. A years worth of supplies is a good thing.

David is a bright guy and I like his videos. But it's almost like watching CNN or FOX. It's more akin to propaganda than it is informative.

Well, he utilizes more facts than CNN or MSNBC.

And his training is as a journalist I believe. Although he apparently preferred selling coffee. Perhaps someone could put together a show ... The David Dubyne - Bill Nye Climate Hour. Like the old Saturday Night Live ... "Bill, you ignorant sl_t!" Or, in memory of George Carlin, they could call it ... the hippy dippy climate man". www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1uaw3WIOlc

Friend of mine that I graduated from high school with (back in the days of Noah) bought a bit of land just west of here some years back. He said his research indicated that he could reliably make more money on onions than any other crop (given his soils and other property characteristics). I note that onions and garlic are about as cold hardy as any crop you can find. Around the old house on our century farm I found large patches of long neck garlic (or a similar type of onion - tastes like both) that must date back to the flood . I dug and replanted them around the fruit trees and they've gone wild (again). Dont't even need to plant them. The bulbils fall naturally in the fall. Loaded with nutrients and you can't seem to kill the little suckers. They don't take up much space and I've never seen a bug on them. Bees seem to like them too.

Well, the wheat market was down 0.14 today. Corn down 7. The thing David is forgetting is the record large wheat and corn stocks on hand. He is correct that the funds have large short positions, but they seem in no hurry to buy back their shorts In regards to cattle, the rise cleaned out shorts, but the downdraft was extensive today.

The draw down of those stocks should be good news for farmers ultimately ... at least for those with the capital to stay in the game. Any idea on what proportion of a N American production year those stocks represent? Roughly?
