Make Hay With Corn In Heat Wave Of 2012 - Forbes
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s forecast for July calls for continued hot and dry and that is resulting falling corn crop forecasts. Even though the USDA continues to forecast a total yield of 14.8 billion bushels of corn, private sector firms such as Allendale, Inc. see the crop looking more like 12.9 billion bushels if the bad weather continues.
That potential corn supply problem is compounded by two things. First, the USDA reported that corn stockpiles as of June 1 fell 48% from March 1 to 3.15 billion bushels, the lowest level since 2004. Second, the demand for corn continues to grow due to a combination of exports, livestock feed and ethanol production according to the National Corn Growers Association.
These things happen Ray.......go check what the dust storms of the 30's did to crops in middle America. People improvised. Life went on like always. Last I checked, burgers were plentiful in all the decades since.
Imagine the level of hysteria in this forum if there were a similar dust bowl in 2013 or 2015? Need I state the obvious? The warmers sit around waiting for this stuff to pop up on the internet so they can roll it out as further evidence to support their preconceptions. Im not saying they're engineering it..........Im saying they simply believe all this stuff is part of a irreversible trend and are stupidfied by every single weather anomoly.
Less hysterical people are always fully aware of the history stuff................but for those who arent, take a gander into these links and check out the incredible number of weather disasters over the past several hundred years..............floods, drought, hurricanes, typhoons........you name it. Check the death tolls.

List of natural disasters by death toll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Id say with 100% certainty that warming is happening just like it has in the past..........but this idea that it is due to Co2 is beyond laughable folks. Emerging folklore made up by some brilliant money chasers......the consumate definition of entrepreneur. And what is most compelling? That every single hard core AGW alarmist detests these brilliant people now living in the lap of luxury, compliments of a complex, enormous hoax that they knew enough hysterical types would buy into hook line and stinker..
For me............I cant be so incredibly idealist. How do I feel when I see, like th is past week, 100 million dollar of public monies blowing up in another green ruse while my state government has been forced to cut 3 millions dollar of Medicaid funding to my autistic clients. Every program of mine has lost a vehicle for transportation. My guys get out into the community less....I cant give rasies to my staff who make $11/hour which leads to abuse due to the quality of person I can afford to hire..............and meanwhile, while I see 100 million dollars vanish in a heartbeat over a fucking fake solar company!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I live in the real world s0ns while the k00ks dabble in fantasy science on the internet. You far left guys dont know the real world, hence, your world view.
So ask yourself? Who are the really well intentioned among us??
As Ive said for 35 years, people on the far left have no understanding that there are necessary tradeoffs in pursuit of their utopian k00k visions. They live in here warning about emerging human sufferring while I LIVE it today and every day. Assholes dont realize that public policy decisions are Never, never ever a zero sum game ( and the mental case notion that it is solved by mega-taxing the wealthy). Assholes........................and k00ks. The vision of these morons leads to massive human sufferring my friends, right in front of their faces and the attitude is "meh".
