Famine doesn't come just from drought

Mid-June, severed storms ripped through France, devastating crops. The country declared a natural disaster. Many farmers in the disaster area lost 80 to 100% of their crops.

The third wettest year in history is stressing Michigan farmers. The wet fields have delayed planting a month or more.

Early June should have more than 90 percent of the corn planted, but only 68% was planted. Of those, only a third have sprouted where the average is 93%. That means if a normal planting had been done, only about 22% of those seeds have sprouted (a third of 68% is 22.44).

Heavy and constant rains have affected the entire corn belt.

In other parts of the world, drought, heat, storms, hail, insects, disease are all making their mark on crop production.

I have not seen the agroinsurance.com website before, but some of the headlines in the news pages are a little worrisome.

Are we entering a period of worsening worldwide famine?

Utah had a wet spring, but things have been drying and heating up over the past week. Not to the mid or upper 90s in northern Utah, yet. But, will the rest of summer be hot and dry?

If John Koyle's prophesies are to be given any credit, it would seem that we still need to go through the several years of worsening famine. The problem is Koyle never recorded his prophesies. They are all second or third-hand. And it's hard to piece together the order of what should happen.

From what I've pieced, there should be a record winter. Is that for the nation or for Utah or both? Winter was good, near record for much of Utah, although it seemed a little lacking.

Then there's a wet spring. That's a check.

Followed by a long, hot summer.

But, here's the kicker. The famine, if I remember the prophesies right, doesn't really begin until after an economic crash. That crash starts on a holiday that falls on a Monday. Most likely either Columbus Day or Veterans Day. Both of these are federal holidays, although most states and companies don't observe them.

This year (2019), Veterans Day, which is always observed on November 11 (except when it falls on a weekend where either Friday or Monday is the day off), falls on a Monday.

Columbus Day is officially on October 12, although it is observed on the Monday usually that falls closest to that date. In 2020, October 12 is on a Monday. It's also three weeks before the presidential election.

If an economic crash happens before the actual widespread famine, then we're looking at 2020 or 2021 being the first year of a famine that worsens for about four years before things start to improve.

I'm not a financial expert. Supposedly something called a Diamond Cross happened in the economy in March. Historically a recession happens 12-18 months after a Diamond Cross. That time frame puts the possibility of a recession right within the time period of November 2019 and October 2020.

Whenever it happens, it will be bad. The Federal Reserve won't have many economic tools available to fight it. Interest rates are too low to be lowered further with much effect.

Personally, I think we'll probably see increased economic floundering this fall, going into the holiday season. Much like last year. Although recovery in 2020 probably won't be as fast or as high as it was this year. I think globalists might fear if a recession happens too soon then there's too much of a chance economic conditions might improve before the presidential election in November 2020. So, I think the actual crash is probably more likely to hit in October 2020. But, from fall 2019 until that time, I'm not sure how much the economy will grow. As mentioned, there will probably be another economic correction in the last quarter of this year.

With worsening crop conditions in various parts of the world, these will have an effect on the economy. I suspect they will play a significant role in the coming economic crash.

The coming famine is not caused by global warming. It is a product of climate change, but much of climate change is affected by the sun. We won't get into it here or now. While we need to do much better at being good stewards of the earth, humans are not the cause of climate change. We are the cause of too much pollution and waste, and that does hurt the environment, animal life, and us. But it has negligible effect on the earth's climate.

In any case, I expect this year to be good for food storage, and probably next year. After that, things become questionable. Most likely another year after that (2021) will still be possible, but prices will likely be getting high, and there may be limitations imposed on non-manufacturing buyers.
