Officials in Kansas are reporting that wheat crops in the state are failing on a massive scale, following the mysterious deaths of thousands of cattle recently.
“There’s nothing out there. It’s dead,” farmer Vance Ehmke told reporters, surveying a wheat field near his land in Lane County. “It’s just ankle-high straw.”
According to conservative estimates by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, at least 41 percent of all wheat in Kansas is in “very poor” condition.
Themostimportantnews.com reports: The situation is particularly dire in the western portion of the state. It is being reported that many fields of wheat in western Kansas now resemble “barren wastelands”…
Across western Kansas, many fields planted with wheat months ago now look like barren wastelands. The gaping spaces between rows of brown, shriveled plants reveal hardened dirt that’s scarred with deep cracks from baking in the sun.
Of all the years for drought to hit western Kansas wheat farmers, it couldn’t have come at a worse time.
Even though the price of wheat has soared to crazy levels, it is being estimated that somewhere around 10 percent of all wheat fields in Kansas will not even grow enough crops to bother harvesting them.
That is really bad news, but the truth is that things are even worse in Colorado and Texas…
To the west in Colorado, projections say nearly one-third of wheat fields won’t produce enough to bother harvesting. In Texas, around three-quarters of the crop will likely be abandoned.
Please read that again.
This is enormous news, and it is going to deeply affect all of us in the months ahead.
At the worst possible time, wheat crops are failing on a massive scale all over the western half of the nation.
We have been stuck in a pattern of drought that resembles the Dust Bowl days of the 1930s for many years now, and things are starting to happen which would have once been unthinkable.
Lake Mead and Lake Powell have both dropped to all-time record lows, and the drinking water for tens of millions of Americans is now in jeopardy.
Lake Mead and Lake Powell, the 2 largest reservoirs in the US, which provide water to over 40 million Americans in Nevada, Arizona and California, are at their lowest levels ever.

This will have unprecedented consequences and require drastic water restrictions never seen before. pic.twitter.com/VSb6ZMtPRq
I wish that more people would understand the gravity of what we are potentially facing.
Down in Mexico, residents of Monterrey are already being limited to six hours of water a day because shortages have already become so severe…
In the sprawling metropolitan area of Monterrey, home to some 5.3 million people, the drought and years of below-average rainfall have led to citywide water shortages.
“We’re in an extreme climate crisis,” Nuevo Leon Governor Samuel Garcia said at a news conference last week. “Today, we’re all living it and suffering.”
The city in June began limiting water access to six hours a day, forcing schools to adjust class schedules and sparking panic buying of bottled water that emptied supermarket shelves.
The western half of North America is in the midst of the worst multi-year drought that it has experienced in 1,200 years, and experts are telling us that it isn’t going to end any time soon.
Meanwhile, UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed is warning us that the planet is potentially facing “a food crisis of global proportions” in 2023…
First, time is short to prevent a food crisis of global proportions next year. We must stabilize global markets, reduce volatility and tackle the uncertainty of commodity prices. There can be no effective solution to the global food crisis without reintegrating Ukraine’s food production, as well as the food and fertilizer produced by the Russian Federation into world markets — despite the war. To avert a food availability crisis in 2023, we must restore fertilizer availability, especially for smallholder farmers now.
Global food production is going to be way below expectations all over the world this year, and we really are heading into a nightmarish worldwide food crisis.
Before I end this article, there is one more thing that I wanted to mention.
Authorities are telling us that an absolutely massive sunspot known as AR3038 “is now facing Earth”…
An enormous sunspot that has doubled in size in only 24 hours is now facing Earth—meaning it could send a solar flare our way.
This particular sunspot has actually doubled in size for each of the past three days, and at this point it is approximately 2.5 times the size of our entire planet.
And we are being warned that it could “potentially send an M-class solar flare” directly at us…
“Yesterday, sunspot AR3038 was big. Today, it’s enormous,” reads the SpaceWeather.com website. “The fast-growing sunspot has doubled in size in only 24 hours.”
The magnetic field associated with the sunspot means it could potentially send an M-class solar flare at Earth—the second-strongest type. However, it is not known whether this will be the case.
Scientists are assuring us that we probably don’t have anything to be concerned about, and hopefully they are correct.
But let’s keep a close eye on this sunspot anyway.
As I have always warned, it is just a matter of time before another Carrington Event comes along.
We live during such unusual times, and things seem to be getting crazier with each passing week.
The “perfect storm” that so many have been warning about is now here, and the months ahead will be filled with chaos and uncertainty.
