[quote:Cheyenne:MV80MDU3MTU4XzczOTQ2Njc1Xzk5RjMxRDVE] [quote:Pooka:MV80MDU3MTU4XzczOTQ2NTQwX0MwRjIwNDQ4] [quote:Cheyenne:MV80MDU3MTU4XzczNTAxMzY3Xzc3QjhEMUQ5] We will likely not see any starvation in America. 2nd and 3rd world countries is another matter. During the Great Potato Famine, potatoes could still be had in England. The price was high, but not impossible to get. In Ireland families sold what few good potatoes they had to survive financially. That loss of calories meant many starved. [/quote] We will have food shortages, including meats because meat requires this missing grains for food. Gas. Nearly every food we commonly eat contains either some form of corn or some form of wheat. The shortages will be bad enough, but the prices will be the major problem. One expert predicted by fall prices will be fifty percent higher than today. What you have in your cupboard, your freezer, your garage, wherever, TODAY, is worth far more than face value. This is a word to the wise. [/quote] I wonder what a 6 gallon superpail of wheat will go for in a year or two. I paid $45 for it a few years ago, now a new one sells for $90. [/quote]

Farms in the grain belt are so waterlogged 6 million acres of corn may not be planted.
Add to that soybeans, and you are talking about massive grain shortages.
6 million acres of corn produce, on average, 54 billion pounds of dry kernel corn.
That's 168 pounds of corn
per every person in the US that will not exist next year.
Add to that 4 million acres of soybeans potentially not planted. That would be 34 pounds per person lost.
UPDATE, October 20th
Top 1% grain grower discusses how the USDA has been pumping out fake crop numbers - leading to the US still exporting, when we should be conserving grain.

UPDATE, July 4th
There's indications this is a global crop failure tied to the solar minimum. Crop losses may be more than the 20% - 30% as was estimated last month - some estimates are more than 50%.
"Professor Valentina Zharkova says that what we are facing is a “super grand solar minimum”, and if that is true we are going to be facing climate chaos like we have never seen before. During previous “grand solar minimums” the globe was gripped by devastating famines and vast numbers of people died. Could a similar scenario potentially be in our future?"
