Farmageddon Looms: Only 30% of US Corn Has Been Planted, Food Prices to Rise! "2019 is turning out to be a nightmare that never ends for the agriculture industry. Thanks to endless rain and unprecedented flooding, fields all over the middle part of the country are absolutely soaked right now, and this has prevented many farmers from getting their crops in the ground. I knew that this was a problem, but when I heard that only 30 percent of U.S. corn fields had been planted as of Sunday, I had a really hard time believing it. But it turns out that number is 100 percent accurate. And at this point corn farmers are up against a wall because crop insurance final planting dates have either already passed or are coming up very quickly. In addition, for every day after May 15th that corn is not in the ground, farmers lose approximately 2 percent of their yield. Unfortunately, more rain is on the way, and it looks like thousands of corn farmers will not be able to plant corn at all this year. It is no exaggeration to say that what we are facing is a true national catastrophe."  |

| People/animals should not be eating Monsanto/Bayer corn anyway, neither soy nor alfalfa. |

I was living in the midwest during the great flood of 1993...it went on all summer the flood issues. Then there have been another since flood since that was a biggie on the Mississippi but not as big as 1993. Also other tributary flooding like the Missouri River, etc.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Midwestern_U.S._floods There are soy crops to consider also.
