Alright, I've heard enough of this shit. NOAA released new drought forcast charts today, things are looking Bleak. It's time to stockpile, bros. 
Here's teh facts:
1. The corn outside my window is now DEAD. Farmers are cutting that shit down and calling it a complete loss now across Kansas and other parts of the corn belt.
2. The drought has retarded or destroyed crops across over 60% of the entire nation:
3. This has spurred on at least a couple extra forest fires this year so far:
Global Incident Map Displaying Forest Fires - Wildland Fires - Etc
4. The drought has officially been named the worst one for Corn in a Half Century so far, and typically we always add More corn to our total each year so going down to pre-monsanto-GM corn levels means we're going to take a very large loss in our economy. In fact, there might not be enough for everyone, PERIOD, at ANY price... And just about everything made these days has corn in it.
5. The waterways are now becoming Unpassable!

You gotta watch this short vid! It means that just about everything that is shipped by river is going to have to go by truck soon. Basically you can expect food, gas, and other goods to possibly double or more in price soon because the cost of shipping so much of our good is only weeks away from doubling or tripling until this drought lets up.
6. The drought is expected to last through November now, and possibly into next spring.
7. And let's not forget, the Drought is causing Ideal weather for the mosquitos that bring West Nile Virus!
All food these days is made out of corn bros, every last morsel. Even beef, chicken, and tilapia are fed mostly Corn... Livestock feed was the #1 use of corn in recent years, and they are expecting LIVESTOCK FAMINE to result from this drought, because the grass is already gone so the cows won't have anything at all to eat.
There goes all our steaks this fall... Beef will likely skyrocket in price once the first dead cow is shown on the news. ;(
Stockpile food bros. I'm not joking. Go hit Sam's or Costco this weekend, and bring a Pickup truck or a Uhaul if you have to.
If you have a way to stockpile Gasoline too, that would be smart. Prices have already started rising there too.
You can't go wrong with 50-lbs bags of Jasmine rice and cases of Ramen. A few of those each will be enough carbs to get you through until prices return to normal next year, if they do.
Me? I was already thinking of ditching this country when Obomba is reelected... Perhaps I'll be moving my plans up because of this drought.

Source: Farmers turn to engineered corn to adapt to drought. But will it be enough?
