A Horrifying Drought Is Causing Widespread Crop Failures Throughout the United States and Europe

Global food supplies are getting tighter and tighter due to soaring fertilizer prices, insane weather patterns, and the Ukraine conflict

  • We needed a banner year for agricultural production in both the United States and Europe in 2022, but that is not going to happen
  • Drought is absolutely devastating crops all over the northern hemisphere
  • In Italy, farmers have already lost 80% of their harvest
  • How are farmers going to survive?
  • Order a case of five life-saving antibiotics

Crisis in Europe

  • Poor harvests due to drought may heap further pressure on grain supplies after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine caused global shockwaves
  • France is the fourth-largest exporter of wheat and among the top five exporters of maize globally
  • The situation in Germany is so bad that some sections of the Rhine River have dropped to dangerously low levels

The U.S. is dealing with severe drought

  • About half of the nation is experiencing some level of drought at this moment, and we are being told that the ongoing megadrought in the Southwest is the worst in 1,200 years.
  • Things are particularly bad in Texas, which has had no measurable rain at all for two months
  • The drought pressing Texas' agriculture industry is pushing farmers and ranchers to the brink
  • Almost 24 million of Texas' population lives in drought-facing areas
  • Conditions are so dry in Texas that many ranchers have been forced to "panic sell" their herds
  • Over in Utah, the size of the Great Salt Lake continues to get smaller and smaller due to the relentlessly dry conditions
