Somebody recommended this mini generator to me. This or a similar model could be useful if we get power cuts.

<60% of U.S. Corn Crop in Good Condition - worst crop in decade

And remember a lot of what IS growing was pre-sold to China last year!

This current rating ties with 2019 for the week's worst corn condition rating since 2012.

Hope you are planting a fall crop in your garden … @iaf_garden

We all need to get planting. Grain crops failing in USA. Farms closing in UK because farmers being paid £100,000 to cease farming and fields being 'rewilded' ....left to go fallow and return to a wild state. Make of these policies what you will, if you think this won't reduce food supplies, fine. If you think it will then it's a good idea to grow your own and start storing up essentials!

These trends could be a sign that we can not rely on as much food being there as it once was.

Mass crop failures expected in England

Half of the potato crop is expected to fail as it cannot be irrigated, and even crops that are usually drought-tolerant, such as maize, have been failing.

The group was told “irrigation options are diminishing with reservoirs being emptied fast”, and losses of 10-50% are expected for crops including carrots, onions, sugar beet, apples and hops. Milk production is also down nationally because of a lack of food for cows, and wildfires are putting large areas of farmland at risk.

We need to find other food sources, co-ops, community food growing groups, collectives - this is just not a situation that is reliable. Some people might see this as being over cautious but what does one lose by being prepared? On the other hand if one has nothing stored up and nothing growing and there are significant crop failures, then it's not a good situation. Anyway as they say in Spain: "Cada uno al suyo".
