2012/13 wheat harvest seen at 22.5 mln tonnes

* Forecast down 7 pct from June estimate on dry weather

* Wheat crop could fall another 10 pct without rains soon - analyst

* Cotton to fall on lower plantings, canola hit by dry weather (Adds detail, quotes)

By Colin Packham

SYDNEY, Sept 11 (Reuters) - Australia cut its forecast for wheat production in the current crop year by about 7 percent from its previous forecast to 22.5 million tonnes due to dry weather, warning that there was a risk of yields falling further if rains did not arrive soon.

The downgrade was expected but lower output in Australia, the world's No.2 wheat exporter after the United States, could further boost global prices that have surged almost 40 percent since early June as the worst drought in half a century gripped large swaths of U.S. farmland.

World Food Day?

http://blogs.independent.co.uk/2012/10/ ... n-through/
Today, the 16th October, is World Food Day. Many in the UK may not have heard about it, because its focus is often on hunger and malnutrition in developing countries and because many people don’t think that in the UK, the 7th richest country in the world, people go hungry. But they do.

Climate Change = World out of food day coming soon!

What will you eat after the heat?

Burn oil, wood, coal or gas but be careful mother nature writes the bill.

HUMANS! You cannot pump 100s of gigatons of CO2 into the atmosphere and dont pay any price!

Yesterday I purchased an 80 lb bag of layer pellets, (for my chickens), and it cost me $24.95. This spring, it cost me $16.85 for the same bag. I use a rotating paddock system for my birds. which cuts their commercial feed consumption around 30%, plus they get to pick through the compost pile. I have always made a "profit" on my egg production. With these higher feed prices, that will no longer be the case.

At these prices I should cull my birds, but the eggs are just so much better than store bought, I will probably suck up the loss for a while.

Humans derive about 20% of their protein from animal-based products now, but this may need to drop to just 5% to feed the extra 2 billion people expected to be alive by 2050, according to research by some of the world's leading water scientists.

Yes, you (all farmers/pet owners) could be forced to cull all chickens/animals to feed humans directly with corn.

In the not to distant future all pets are gone because we eat them all or their food.

Typical hoodlums smashed the hell out of our pumpkin this year...just made it fit into the compost easier.
I didn't tell the carver of the pumpkin what happened to it...she worked hard to make something really pretty.

I used to enjoy kayaking this time of year and the river would be full of pumpkins that had flushed down the storm drains all the way to the river.

Russia braces for grain shortage

A severe drought in eastern Europe and central Asia accounted for most of the decline in world grain production, down 5.5 per cent this year to 661m tonnes, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization.

[url]In Russia, wheat production fell by an estimated 30.6 per cent to 39m tonnes in 2012 from 56.2m tonnes in 2011, the FAO said in its latest Food Outlook report. That’s even less than in 2010 when the Russian government imposed a blanket ban on grain exports after a record-breaking drought and heatwave devastated the country’s crops.[/url]

CAIRO, April 17 (UPI) -- The Egyptian government is gambling that this year's domestic wheat crop will produce 9.5 million tons, a prediction widely seen as dangerously over-optimistic as the world's most populous Arab state is wracked by growing political crisis.

Egypt, the world's biggest wheat importer, is facing critical food shortages that are certain to worsen the political turmoil if not checked.....


"Disruption of the harvest because of a diesel shortage would have extremely damaging political consequences for the Islamist government," the Financial Times warned.

The VALUE of U.S. Corn, Wheat, and Soybean Agricultural Exports Has Gone Up, not the AMOUNT

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '.')..besides the ethanol phenomenon, what is the most striking thing that happened to crop agriculture in previous 5 years? Yep, crop prices rose to levels that few thought were even remotely possible.

Next question: Were those mammoth crop price increases largely responsible for growth the value agricultural exports? In the case of grains (primarily corn and wheat) and soybeans, the answer is definitely yes.
