This is the kind of nonsense that goes on with this mess. HAARP (click here)
These jerks actually believe the USA government has control over the climate. If only the government would "get it right" this would all be okay and we could still keep burning carbon. Gee whiz, what is it with Obama already.
That 'idea' that the USA government has control over the future of the planet provides the platform 'this is all political.' If it is all political than Obama is feeding his cronies. These jerks are the worst predatory political nut cases I have yet to witness.
The overwhelming evidence regarding a very dangerous troposphere cannot be disputed. Yet, these political weirdos don't care if the USA stops polluting the troposphere with carbon. They don't care about the very lives in Kansas they purport to control. They are god. They control everything.
The dialogue is over!
July delivery of wheat $14.8700 per bushel.

Winter wheat, which isn't irrigated, is a hardy crop but vulnerable to the vagaries of weather.
It needs moisture to germinate in the fall, a blanket of snow to insulate it while it goes dormant, and then more moisture to nourish it to maturity after it breaks dormancy.
Nebraska's wheat growing region has been in drought, and the past two winters have been lacking in insulating layers of snow.
According to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln CropWatch, average yield is likely to be 40 bushels per acre this year, down 5 bushels from the longterm average. That's based on the analysis of Royce Schaneman, executive director of the Nebraska Wheat Board.
A loss of 5 bushels per acre means a loss of $74.35. The average family farm is 400 acres. That is a total loss to the farm of $29,740 for one wheat season.
The USDA is forecasting similar yields, about 39 bushels per acre in Nebraska. The USDA notes that yields like that are slightly higher than a 10 percent improvement over 2013 yields.
If the USDA is correct that means there will a loss of one additional bushel per acre or $5,948.00 per wheat season in addition to estimate of the University of Nebraska - Lincoln Crop Watch. A total of $35,688.00.
Another factor in improved harvest this year is that more acres of wheat are expected to survive. This year, 95 percent of the acres that were planted are expected to yield a harvest, compared with 77 percent a year ago.
Overall, the USDA is forecasting a 40 percent increase in Nebraska's winter wheat harvest.
What does that level of loss mean? Irrigation is an investment. Besides the hardware needed for irrigation and taping into an aquifer, the actual pumping of the irrigated water is a direct investment to the income from the crop. It is a cost to the final income from the crop.
...The performance (click here) of the pumping plant (Pp) in terms of energy use per acre-inch of water is then the ratio of the amount of energy used per hour divided by the volume of water pumped per hour:
Pp = hourly fuel use rate (gallons of fuel/hour) / Vw (in acres inches/hour)
If tens of thousands of dollars is lost to the farm operation of 400 acres that translates into rebalancing the farm budget for production. It could mean the farmer will hope for good weather if the budget doesn't allow for the purchase of diesel fuel or gasoline.
The cost of diesel fuel today is $3.946 in the Midwest and gasoline is $3.640. Farmers don't have to pay the tax. If production falls the farm enters into a failure curve that is exponential. We know for a fact family farms do a better job of protecting the land and preventing erosion. They are vital to the food supply in and out of the USA. This entire trend is disastrous. People can't eat emergency funds to farmers to help them pay their bills.

Drought and poor winters (click here) continue to take a toll on Nebraska's winter wheat.
Yields on winter wheat this year are expected to be below average but significantly above last year's even poorer returns.

In general, about half the state's winter wheat crop is in good to excellent shape.
Here's the breakdown:
Very poor: 3 percent
Poor: 16 percent
Fair: 35 percent
Good: 42 percent
Excellent: 4 percent

There are real people worried about their livlihoods and how the nation is going to feed itself and the right wing pulls these stunts to confuse the public and illegitimately effect elections.
