COGwriter<\/a><\/p>\n Despite recent storms, most farmland in the US is under drought:<\/p>\n Most U.S. Farmland Still in Drought, Even After Storm<\/strong><\/p>\n 6 September 2012<\/p>\n KANSAS CITY, Mo. \u2014 The worst drought in decades is expected, over the next few months, to continue choking a large area of the Plains and Rockies that missed the soggy remnants of Hurricane Isaac<\/a>, according to the National Weather Service\u2019s Seasonal Drought Outlook<\/a> released on Thursday…the drought\u2019s severity was upgraded through much of the Central and Southern Plains \u2014 an area that stretches from southern South Dakota to northern Texas and has been suffering from triple-digit temperatures as well as lack of rain. Parts of South Dakota fell into exceptional drought, and that categorization expanded in large parts of Oklahoma<\/a>, Kansas<\/a> and Nebraska<\/a>as well.<\/p>\n Forecasters say that this region is moving to a climatologically drier time of the year, meaning that the drought will likely intensify in the coming months.<\/p>\n Overall, 62.89 percent of the continental United States remained in moderate to exceptional drought, an improvement of less than a half a percent from last week, according to the Drought Monitor.\u00a0http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2012\/09\/07\/us\/hurricane-brings-some-drought-relief.html<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n American grain crops, such as corn,soy, and wheat, are being affected. And corn, is not only eaten by humans, in the USA, a lot of it goes to cattle, chickens, and other livestock.<\/p>\n And of course, in 2012, weather problems, including flooding, drought, and heat have affected other areas as well (see, for example, Flooding in North Korea, Philippines, Taiwan, and China<\/a>, TW: Drought USA and Flooding UK; Russia Having Both<\/a>, Quarter Million Affected by Flooding in Japan<\/a>, Severely Cold Weather in South Africa and Australia, Drought in Mid-USA Affecting Grain<\/a>, 2012 Drought Declared USA\u2019s Largest Ever Natural Disaster<\/a>, Drought Affecting India and Its Food Supply; Europe too<\/a>, Drought Reducing Wheat Yields in US, Australia, Russia, and Ukraine,<\/a> and Weather Extremes in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the UK<\/a>).<\/p>\n Flood, droughts, and weather problems contribute to food shortages, higher food prices (Heat Affecting USA Wheat Crop<\/a> and USDA Slashes Corn and Soy Production Estimates Due to Drought; Canadian Farmers Expecting to Benefit<\/a>), and sometimes famines.<\/p>\n Droughts and weather problems contribute to food shortages, higher food prices, and sometimes famines. Food inflation seems to be occurring.<\/p>\n Back in 2009, my book, 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect<\/a> mentioned the following was about to happen:<\/p>\n\n
