Less Agricultural Acreage Planted This Year In North Dakota

The Bismarck Tribune is reporting:
An estimated 4.4 million acres of North Dakota cropland will go unplanted this year, based on an early estimate by U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency’s state office. 
Heavy snow, flooding and excessive rain have kept producers from planting. Most of the acreage is north of state Highway 200.
Thank goodness for federal subsidies.

Oh, yes, and thank CLR for oil royalties. 

And thank goodness for global warming to minimize "heavy snow, flooding, and excessive rain." Without GW it might have been worse.
