As would be expected with wandering jet streams due to a weakening magnetosphere pushing deeper into the Grand Solar Minimum, these zonal flows are not normal bringing record heat this early in the year. Phoenix, Arizona 106 Fahrenheit.
What’s interesting is the news is not really telling you about Eastern Canada, and the United States deep snow at the same time.
These are in inches so in Eastern Canada they’re looking something 15 inches or more. Central western United States the same areas where reports of massive crop losses, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota and Montana, that’s a lot of snow for late May and we’re going to be getting snows all the way until June 2018.
David a subscriber of mine sent this article for me 35,000 cows died in Texas and New Mexico after the winter storm this was just what about nine days ago.
Did you see this in the news 35,000 cows died frozen suffocated, some areas had 14 feet of snow? This pulls out of the Roswell Gazette and they were calculating $2,200 for each head multiplied by 35,000. That is millions, how are these farmers going to repay? How are they going to get loans for next year? These are the things that I talk about with mounting losses in the agricultural system.
I do remember seeing Diamond at Oppenheimer ranch doing a video last week about snows in May in Arizona, so I thought I would connect the two because they are bordering States.
Let’s take a look black staff weather may unusual very maybe a trace but not this deep.
Which brings me to the crop bulletins; winter wheat “percent headed”. This means those heads that we harvest, that we eat and we call it wheat. This is that part of the plant we’re not talking, about the emerging stems. That’s an entirely different thing, the grass coming up, barley grass and wheat grass, entirely different than the full mature plants that are now heading. Looking at April 29, 2018 compared to the five-year average, I’ve highlighted everything in the blue box, so when you come to the bottom total compared to the five-year average, they’re about half.
I want to point out the actual quality of the wheat that’s going to come out of the fields, that’s something very different than what they’re showing you in the amount “planted” or “heading”.
On the charts: Winter wheat by condition percentage, very poor is the (V), poor is (P), fair is (F), (G) good and (IX) is excellent.
I want you to look at the very bottom, previous year compared to previous week, which is the last week during this year. Notice the difference in the very poor and poor quality. Very poor is five times higher than last year, the good is at twenty-five percent compared to forty-five percent and the excellent has reduced three percent as well. These are the numbers they are not showing you in the media.
Talking about winter wheat condition, a wide out on the chart so you see by the state what it was comparatively to the five-year average, I’ve highlighted everything in blue so it’s easy to find.
Spring Wheat they’re planting that now. The first thing that will be harvested is Winter Wheat, but we’re into the planting now. The spring wheat “dismal” figures presented at the very bottom, ten percent compared to thirty-six. That’s nearly four times lower. Looking at these same states Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, “dismal” is a word the media is using in news reports on how the planting is progressing.
Looking at oats we see these same states reoccurring, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota. Oh, yeah in the previous slide different crops still behind but thirty-nine percent compared to sixty-four, a third behind let’s say.
Over to barley, Minnesota again and North Dakota, shocking one percent planted compared to twenty-five percent planted in Minnesota, same in North Dakota. If you’re going to start to look for where is going to go off line first in the United States and Canada, it’s going to be Alberta, northern Alberta. In the United States just map it out and you can start to take this amount of yield off the table from this point forward, because what’s going to come out of this region is going to be poor quality anyway 26% compared to 44% great they’re 1/3 down as well.
Corn planting, it’s at a different section of the country. Corn grows in a little bit wetter, a little bit warmer climate, it’s a different grow zone, but notice they’re only 17% planted compared to the 5-year average of 27% with Wisconsin three times lower than normal. Look at some of the key producers like Indiana they’re very different in the amount of production coming out of fields and again Indiana down by over half, that is a key production state for corn same with Iowa.
Corn percent emerged, literally a sprout from the seed popping out as a new planting, 50% down. Look at the numbers, 3% has come out compared to the 5-year average of six percent, that is 50% lower than normal and you think that it’s not going to drive your food prices up. That we are somehow magically going to pull into the silos and the carry overs from last year and you’re just going to sing kumbaya into the next year. We are at the point of reducing our food production right now and nobody’s talking about it in the global mainstream media feeds.
This comes off the USDA report and they are showing you overall globally where the conditions are unusual. Early showers in Indochina, far right down in Southeast Asia, these countries have been getting out of season storms that dumped massive record flooding in the middle of the dry season. So, when they say early showers, that’s really an understatement up to what’s been going on. Unseasonably wet in Argentina, more correctly massive floods destroying crops already.
Showers in Europe are finally alleviating, but take a look at what the maps for northern Africa. Notice where the wet is, they have record floods in Algeria and Morocco has been getting all-time record snows.
A few of these charts I used in videos a couple weeks ago show where the moisture bands are and where the temperatures are cooler than normal in Morocco. The same areas we saw these incredible temperature inversions and splits where massive cold fronts slammed into massive warm fronts. We saw this across the US where they had softball sized hail. Whenever you see these lines, that is going to be a massive hail front you need to really protect yourselves.
Winds experienced in Canada blowing at 120 an hour, more like Category 2 hurricane along with devastating grapefruit sized hail. This what the weather fronts are going to be like from now on. These conditions are going to intensify compared to the changes we’re experiencing especially by 2020.
A look over in North Korea, China, Japan, precipitation above normal, looking towards drought in northern China and Heilongjiang, that’s a major wheat growing area. China has had massive floods again and again, third, fourth year in a row in the Yangtze River Basin area with cities and crops flooded in once on 300-year flood events.
I’ve marked off where we’re going to lose crops first in Asia based on what has happening in the last four years and based on what happened during the Maunder Minimum and the Sporer Minimum. The collapse of the Tang Dynasty in 800 AD, it just rolls on, use a history book, cycles are repeating. I hope our better technology can get us through the Eddy Grand Solar Minimum.
You are absolutely going to need to grow your own food during this time. You really need to start planting anything right now just to practice because it is going to shock you by the end of the year how fast your food prices are going to go up, and then next year it’s going to double again. Good luck in your preparations.
