Rain producing parts of China have seen the least rain they've had in a century and the drought last winter was followed this week (June 2011) by massive flooding (200-year flooding in some places)? China wasn't able to get much of their spring rice planted along the Yangtze river in and the summer crop is "iffy"? and the word is that 40% of US rice won't be planted this year because of flooding.
England is currently in a record breaking drought and Russia was in a drought last summer? European countries are the driest in 50 years?
Almost half of the US wheat crop is rated as poor or worse? Texas (the 2nd largest producer of wheat) will not see 2/3rds of it's crop this year.
Because of drought or flooding farmers are behind all over the US and Canada. Many have not been able to get their crops in.
Will there will be famine this year? Yes, certainly for those in 3rd world countries there will be starvation. In the West we can expect higher prices, perhaps significantly higher.
Time is running out.. be prepared.
