This photo is how our farmland here
should look right now. It was taken last year at about this time. These are healthy crops of corn and soybeans. This year's crop will be half what it should be, because of the summer-long drought we've been in. Farmers are having to liquidate their livestock herds because there's no feed left in storage and their pastures and ponds are dried up. Food in the grocery store is predicted to go sky-high this winter. Why does this feel like the beginning of the end?
