The whole response is not good. Flatten the curve has turned into flatten the economy.

I don't know what he's doing now  . Counting spuds one at a time, over and over and ... He had a point. The term "French Fry" was made up by a German.

Kansas wheat crop is going to be short of initial projections. To dry over a large swath of area plus frost damage. Russia is potentially going to lower exports as well.
Up north, it is the 21st of May and the wheat that is planted isn't up. The trees haven't leafed out. Not sure if my Black Walnuts are dead or alive. Same with my grapes. No sign of life. The trees that are normally somewhat earlier are budded. It is the 21st of MAY!

The trees that are normally somewhat earlier are budded. It is the 21st of MAY! Down here May is averaging 3 F BELOW normal. Weather service says you guys are 5+ F BELOW normal. Consistently cloudy here ... so the 60s seem to feel cooler than normal. Or perhaps it's age. Foliage is all out and I have some peaches the size of a small walnut. Flowers are going nuts ... as are all creepy, viney things. Even central Arkansas is 3 F BELOW normal. If these deviations hold, May will be in the lower 10% across 130 years. We have to go back to 1997 (big La Nina year) to get a comp ... although it was colder. |

Prepare to eat bugs. I foresee grumblings. The Brits might break something. Oops ... they don't have to put up with that anymore.

Update: The organic fields just finished their 3rd cutting of the year, the non organic fields are one behind. The extra cutting on the organic field has nothing to do with the organic methods but rather the type of soil. The non organic fields are wetter fields by nature, they would be excellent for blueberries and the dryer organic fields are better for alfalfa which is what they are producing. The raspberries are still weeks out but we were able to find a few on the vines and enjoyed getting up close with tens of thousand of honey bees. While we were talking away in the house the Department of Agriculture put up a trap near the mailbox to catch any death hornets in the area. Happy ending found a nice young service berry shrub we plan on bringing home when it goes dormant in the Fall. What is 'the farm', Code? Need more info .... |

Here is an article on historical change in China's ag production and demand. I can find very little on what this year's deluge is doing to expected 2020 China crop yields. Can't be good. Not sure I would put much faith in China's "bluff" to cut ag imports. Perhaps when they decide they want ... we can raise the price. Do you think there will be a surplus (specific crops) this year Sig? chinapower.csis.org/china-food-security/ |
