The federal government refuses to give the farmers water, so they are not able to plant or able to to maintain what is already planted. There is going to be an incredible shortage everywhere, folks.
LOS ANGELES — Southern California, where many fruits and vegetables for the country are grown, is experiencing a recording-breaking drought, which could impact world food prices in 2014.
‘Not looking good’
Andy Domenigoni is a fourth generation grower in Riverside, California. He says there are good years and bad years, and this year things are not looking good.
“I have some fields that we planted almost a month ago that are still not out of the ground,” Domenigoni said.
He says normally it takes five to seven days for the wheat to sprout, but not this year. He points to a brown field behind him.
“This field was planted two weeks ago and it is just bone dry. The seed is not in any moisture,” he said. “It can’t sprout. We got to wait for the rain.” Read more
As for beef, higher feed prices and thinner herds will push prices up more dramatically as we get closer to summer. The salmon will not be able to return to their birth places to lay their eggs, can’t swim up a stream that’s dry.
“It’s all a rollover thing,” Blue Ribbon Butcher Shop in Reno Manager Steve Cartinella said. “Whatever happens now is going to have an effect on us in about 2 months.” Read more

As far as your vacation? Skiiing? With the water shortage they can’t make snow. Lake boating? Stream fishing? None. Check this out:
Asthma and allergy sufferers will certainly be affected with the increase in fires and the spread of dust fields. And just how “fresh” or safe will produce and meat proteins such as beef and poultry trucked-in from other states, maybe across borders, be once they arrive at your grocery store?
A wide spectrum of jobs will be lost, from growers, pickers, shippers, grocery markets, community local farmer co-ops, even the schools will be affected. Farmers potentially will lose their livestock, what they can’t rapidly sell, even their livlihood due to fallow ground.
Needless to say, something needs to be done, and done NOW. I suspect this is all part of Agenda 21, since the government is busy playing god with controlling the weather, are we to believe that they can not make it rain?! Well, second thought, maybe we dont’ want that man-made poison.
God help us all.
Are you prepared?
