(2,020 posts)If anyone can scrape up a group to start investing in farmland, now is the time. The oligarchs, Kochs, and the Chinese cannot wait to get their hands on the most productive farmland in the world, which will be sold at fire sale prices this coming winter. The corn belt from Western Ohio through Iowa still has topsoil that has not eroded away from their poor soil conservation practices and the corn belt is going to continue to get rain despite global warming, if the current long term models hold.
Most people do not understand that agriculture is still the bedrock of the American economy. This is going to have a devastating ripple effect through the US economy. Nothing could have been designed that would weaken the US for decades to come like the mess that Trump and his GOP congress critters have created. Perhaps what is being done has been planned and they just found the perfect idiot to put it in place, while distracting the propagandized agriculture communities with right wing hate radio, so they are happy to be destroyed because they have been brainwashed to fear POC and Muslims.
"Winter is coming."
