Anecdotal and I'd love to be wrong about this, buuuut I'm in the rural midwest rn and all of the wheat fields in like a 75 mile radius from me look like they're absolutely fucked.

It's basically all turned gold already which is super early for it, especially because it's still short as fuck, like maybe a foot tall — it's usually still green until it's like 4 feet tall. The people who've lived here for a long time have been talking about how abnormal it is. I'm not a wheat scientist and haven't really gotten into with anyone who knows what they're actually talking about so I don't totally know what it means, but I know it doesn't mean anything good

Prob a good idea to stock up on food if you've got the means

    Set up a trade agreement with countries A, B, and C so that your wheat is priced in a certain range of prices when exported to there, then only export to those countries.

    Set up another trade agreement with countries X, Y, and Z so that their wheat is priced at a certain range of prices when imported from there, and only import from there.

    Now you're selling your wheat for a profit, and then buying wheat to replace it for less money.

    Why didn't countries X, Y, Z, A, B, and C come to a trade agreement? Well the CIA will assure you that the CIA had nothing to do with it, there was no CIA meddling in their electoral systems whatsoever, they just all coincidentally happen to elect leaders sympathetic to American profits, no compradors here!
