Letter Re: U.S. Midwest Drought Continues
JWR:
There was a very interesting article in my local newspaper yesterday regarding soil conditions here. We have had so little rain of and consequently that the soil here is turning to stone. Farmers are working at feverish pace to harvest this years crops that are yielding far less volume than normal and of poor quality. However they say that the ground is too hard to till and plant over the winter crops such as wheat. This sound pretty ominous to me If this condition is more widespread the impact on food availability that therefore prices could be very serious. I am buying any 25 pound bags of wheat that Wal-Mart has on hand whenever I stop at the store. It is time to top off the larder. – Carl R.
