Colds snaps freak out farmers throughout world

This seems like a worrisome development. Not only do we have to worry about drought, heat, and floods ravaging crops, but now we have freak cold snaps with which to contend. No doubt, crop failures in other countries are going to affect prices here in the US.

Nice post Billg...thanks for taking the time to put together.

Dire news indeed.

I just fixed the India link...

Well, so much for thinking that we could cope better with global warming by turning to more heat resistant varieties of crops. Ouch...this is a ball breaker for farmers.
