U.S. farmers have cut back on using common weedkillers, hunted for substitutes to popular fungicides and changed planting plans over persistent shortages of agricultural chemicals that threaten to trim harvests.
Have we reached the tipping point into the cool zone?
yeah but there are non pesticide ways of dealing with insects and the way we are currently doing it hugely damages the ecosystem including polinators vital to farming
It's just that the farming practices aren't going to change in the next 2 months and this shortage won't even exist next year, so this is just gonna destroy a ton of short term food capacity during the goddamned Ukraine war and massive heat waves hitting North America

I admire your optimism this shit show will only last 2 months
I'm not, I'm saying in 2 to 4 months this crop is gonna need harvesting, and it's gonna be fucked up already.
:yea: I know. Just wanted to inject an extra dose of :rust-darkness:
