Madera Tribune: Jun 27, 4:24am 2 reviews agriculture, global-warming, organic-farming, sustainable-agriculture
http://www.maderatribune.com/news/newsview.asp?c=245962; It has been a rough 2 years in WI for ALL farmers. I have met and spoken with both farmers in this article -Josh Engel of Driftless sold me 200 lbs of seed potatoes. While the article seems to paint a rosier picture for Organic Farmers since they are diversified and can replant late crops, it skates over some very serious dilemnas. First off, Organic Farmers live and die by their soil -and floods wash much of the top soil away leaving exposed subsoil and rocks. That can take decades to rebuild -if ever. As important, crop insurance for Organic Farmers is essentially non-existant or so expensive that no one uses it. We are all essentially self insured. Please be sure to support you local farmers market -and even kick in a few bucks to help them rebuild. Our future depends on their skills carrying forward!

ENN: Melting glaciers will shrink grain harvests in China and India.: Mar 24, 1:09pm 1 review environment, food, global-warming
http://www.enn.com/top_stories/spotlight/33355; From the page: "We know from studying earlier civilizations that declined and collapsed that it was often shrinking harvests that were responsible. For the Sumerians, it was rising salt concentrations in the soil that lowered wheat and barley yields and brought down this remarkable early civilization. For the Mayans, it was soil erosion following deforestation that undermined their agriculture and set the stage for their demise. For our twenty-first century civilization, it is rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations and the associated rise in temperature that threatens future harvests."
