“Harvest from Hell”: 2.7 Million Acres of Canadian Canola Left Frozen in the Field
Heavy and persistent snow during 2019’s harvest season has left several million acres of canola, renowned as #Canada’s most profitable crop, buried until the spring of 2020, reports reuters.com. This year will be remembered as the “harvest from hell,” said farmer John Guelly, chairman of the Alberta Canola industry group.
As of November 05, some 17% of Alberta’s canola remained unharvested along with 12% of Saskatchewan’s and 9% of Manitoba’s. All that unharvested canola represents approximately 2.7 million acres, or 13% of national plantings, according to government estimates.
Global food shortage has already begun.. By 2021-2022 harvest season.... most of the world will know it. Food prices are up %20 already. Farmers don't have enough corn for livestock. Here they were feeding them rolls! Been reports of shortages of can vegtables here.
