An inflection point has been reached with respect to the collapse of modern agriculture as we enter the Grand Solar Minimum and the climate changes -- and the system is responding by clamping down on truth.

As the US experiences its worst planting on record, China is facing a one-two punch from African Swine Fever and Armyworm. Food prices are rising.

Canada officially reports a 14-year high of arctic sea ice levels.

Will ASF come to US, and inspire forced vaccines for livestock?

Heavy winter snow and ice finally melts into Lake Michigan along the Milwaukee Harbor along the lakefront.
In 2017 "Climate Experts" had irrefutable proof that the Great Lakes would continue an evaporation decline spiral due to climate change, but today we are at 100 year high water marks with all of the great lakes about to set the highest water marks ever set. We also see the same "this place is warming twice as fast as the rest of the world" headlines coming out of the same Great Lakes. When will the corporate media begin asking hard questions why so many bad predictions didn't pan out?

California growers are frustrated by an unusually wet spring that has delayed the planting of some crops like rice and damaged others including strawberries and wine grapes.

The state's wet conditions come as much of the West is experiencing weird weather. Colorado and Wyoming got an unusually late dump of snow this week. Meanwhile temperatures in Phoenix have dropped 15 degrees below normal.

Large swaths of California have seen two to five times more precipitation than is normal for this point in May, the National Weather Service said. A series of storms soaked much of Colusa County where rice grower Kurt Richter was forced to wait weeks to seed his land.

"You should be seeing green lawns of rice out there right now," Richter said Tuesday from his farm about 120 miles north of San Francisco. "But it's just flooded fields, with nothing sticking out of the water."
