I agree Glenn. No doubt cold winters will be tough to deal with but the possible early freezes could be devastating. If colder springs delay planting of crops and then an early freeze hits it could cause major food disruptions. If another one of these "polar vortex's" hit in August or early September this year and cause a widespread freeze it could cause grain prices and food to skyrocket. By the way, I have a Case-IH 8940 that puts out 264PTO hp. It is a mean machine! Those Magnum's are great tractors. Been running ours for over 15 years. This could really be an interesting August and September. I just hope the frost and freezes stay away until October.

Theodore, I should probably clarify my statement. Disruptive non productive growing seasons pose much more of a serious risk to our prosperity than colder winters. We have the ability to prepare for cold winters. We don't have the capacaity to replace lost crops in the summer. I agree Glenn. No doubt cold winters will be tough to deal with but the possible early freezes could be devastating.

Astro:
What do you see the rest of 2014 looking like if you predict 2015 and 2016 to be hot and dry? Will the rest of this year also be hot and dry?
