I know it's feeder corn, and not sweet corn, in the fields, at this moment, but whatever percentage of the acreage of corn that is put into ethanol, at this time, should be sown with food crops. Rainfall and yield would be impossible to calculate, but keeping people alive should trump shitty gas. CHIEF about that….

There was an NPR podcast with the same story. The Aussies are using CRSPR technology to genetically alter the Cavendish banana to be more resistant to the fungus. Or maybe we’ll just start farming and eating another type of banana that will be even less tasty but more transportable. Yes you could. $1 billion would buy a lot of toe curling blowjobs, and more importantly, secrecy. Or you could’ve just married a woman who doesn’t mind blowing you from time to time. I guess I got lucky. Wtf am I supposed to put in the tail pipe then?

April 18, 20223 yr So 66% of French voters who voted for Melenchon say they're going to abstain from voting in the 2nd round of the election. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/french-far-left-consultations-show-majority-will-abstain-vote-blank-presidential-2022-04-17/
April 18, 20223 yr Author Heard an interesting prediction that I hadn’t seen mentioned anywhere else. Basically, China will end up leveraging its enormous stockpiles of food to these desperate countries to gain influence, especially in Africa. Watch for these deals over the next 6 months or so.
April 18, 20223 yr Author Just now, Parliament said: China's gonna have trouble feeding their OWN people. Yeah other people have said that here. I don’t know enough to counter that other than I have seen they have 18 months worth of grain in storage. That’s 18 months for the largest population in the world. I’m guessing they can afford to peel off small amounts to bail out other countries in exchange for money and other strategic concessions.

Should have the capacity to build inventories domestically ahead of fall. Bigger than fertilizer is that the weather needs to cooperate here and in South America to build a cushion.

April 19, 20223 yr We have a lot of ours locked in and delivered. It's definitely a real concern among the community though. In our neighborhood, a continued lack of fertilizer would lead to more soybeans grown next year (they require much less fertilizer than corn), and would definitely result in continued commodity price increases as yields inevitably drop. No one around us is freaking out yet, but it's something everyone is watching and it could have some major tangible effects down the line. Our more immediate issue is the unseasonal cold preventing us from getting to the field. Snow's been gone since the end of February, but every week we'll get 3-4 days with overnight lows below freezing, which has put planting on pause. We started planting on 4/20 last year, and we're going to be lucky to start by the 26th this year. A week might not seem like much, but it is. Edited April 19, 20223 yr by Al_4_ISU

Totally unrelated, a big Canadian railroad (Canada Pacific?) is on strike and deliveries in the northern plains are goofed up. Globally we are probably OK for spring, as most inventory is positioned for planting in the northern hemisphere. But the rest of the World is in for a rough go. They don't have the buying per of iSU and Royalfan. Grain prices are going bonkers, especially wheat and corn. Ie: Edited April 19, 20223 yr by Parliament
