Kroger struggles. This is a long, long article over at The WSJ. One would assume readers of The WSJ would be somewhat bright, smart, sophisticated. Not so fast. Read the article, Kroger struggles. Then read the very first comment, from "harry gallant,"
This country needs a good starvation.  Then perhaps,  they will realize the importance of our farmers.  They are struggling big time.  Doubt any corn will be planted in the midwest this year.
Some years ago I read that due to global warming, and US energy policies set in motion by guys like Obama, North Dakota farmers were gradually switching from wheat to corn, and the corn belt was moving northwest from Iowa toward northeast Montana, So let's see.

US News, April 1, 2019, just a couple of weeks ago:


Back to swine flu in China. What do American pigs (the four-legged kind) eat?

From where does most US corn come?

What states were spared all that spring flooding?

Yeah, the dots all connect.

The neat thing about that screenshot above? From US News, not some North Dakota trade journal. Simply amazing.

I'm in a Lana Del Rey mood and that's what I'm listening but this is the song that better fits this page.
