Country exile in the city
Meijer Distribution Center (food) was destroyed by a tornado two days ago in Tripp, Ohio. I posted about it in the June 6th severe weather thread.

I planted two prepper gardens (do every year, but this year seemed more vital than ever).

Unusually cool spring--with several freezing / near-freezing nights in March/April---during blooming time (because earlier warm weather had brought out the blooms early) -- no peaches this year, no blueberries.

(Note--not speaking here for the whole state of GA--I live about 25 miles NE of Atlanta, near the Eastern Continental Divide).

Also during that extended cool-weather time--WAY too much rain to plow / plant the gardens.

Then for a while, PERFECT weather, though a little on the cool side (Mama always said garden seeds won't sprout and grow as long as you still have to sleep under a blanket at night)--so plant ..........wait.............no crop...........replant..............finally got it up---and.......

HERE COMES THE DROUGHT.

No rain to speak of in a month--a couple of welcome "storm systems" through but not NEAR enough to make up the deficit.

I'm rotating watering my gardens--one garden one night, the other the next--but what you can do with a garden hose is only enough to "keep them alive"--not enough to really make the plants GROW and produce (especially when I'm on a well and have to be careful I don't draw it dry).

But we're (as in, this country) not under God's judgement..............oh, noooo, that can't POSSIBLY be going on............

A fire ignited inside a food manufacturing facility in the town of Belmont near the Portage-Waupaca County, Wisconsin on Monday.
Multiple fire departments responded to a fire at Festive Foods on County Highway D around 9 a.m., WSAW-TV reported.
The company owner and president, Mike Holmgren, said the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
The crew tried to put out the fire for almost nine hours since it started, according to an update from News 9.

The owner of Festive Foods, LLC, Michael Holmgren, says he’s grateful for emergency responders and their dedication, providing a glimpse into how the fire started.
“It was in the back of the building, up in the roofline area,” he explained.
Holmgren says over 100 employees were working in the building at the time the fire started.
All were able to evacuate safely.
Holmegren says its too early to tell what rebuilding might look like.
“There’s damages, yes,” he said over the phone, “so we have to assess how quickly we can rebuild. Everybody is very committed, everybody is safe and home with their families right now, and we’ll support them through this.”
Contrary to earlier reports, there is no concern of chlorine or chemical exposure through smoke at the plant.

Just avoid the hail! That's my main worry right now.

Iowa sweet corn is available. So far, what I've had is too chewy with little flavor, but it beats what I've gotten in the stores, which is just plain bad: little kernels, no flavor, and very tough.

I suspect our local corn will be better in about 3 weeks. This first crop was both frozen and flooded early in its growth.

Fertilizer Manufacturing Plant Destroyed in Massive Fire​


The Wilbur-Ellis facility near Moses Lake, WA was left in ruins after a fire engulfed the facility Sunday.
John S. Forrester | Oct 24, 2022

A massive fire ignited at the Wilbur-Ellis fertilizer manufacturing and blending plant near Moses Lake, WA Sunday, leaving the facility in ruins and forcing some residents living near the location to shelter in place.

Emergency personnel were called to the site around 3:15 p.m., police told the Columbia Basin Herald.

The plant was fully engulfed in flames when crews got on scene. Fire officials interviewed by the newspaper said the facility was built completely of wood because fertilizer erodes metal.

County public health officials urged certain groups of people living downwind of the fire – including those with respiratory conditions, children, and the elderly – to remain indoors until the flames were out due to concerns that the smoke may contain toxic chemicals. Occupants of homes within a one-mile radius of the plant were ordered to shelter in place during the incident.

A statement published by the Grant County Sheriff’s Office at 5:15 p.m. detailed that the plant collapsed and that fire crews were expected to remain on scene overnight to monitor the smoldering fire. No injuries were recorded.

The county fire marshal is launching an investigation into the cause of the blaze.

So does your vid show all 570 million farms?


No sadly it does not and farms going under seems the happening every year for the last 50 years or so some of it bad management and some of it is people wanting to retire and none of their kids want to take over the farm as a farm.

But there seems to be enough of these farms posting videos and they do not seem to be hurting mind you stuff is alway jamming or breaking then needing repair ASAP on the double.

You can go over to YouTube and use their search engine and enter Farming you will come up with a good number of entry's on the first page from as many as 50 farms from today up to a week ago.
I was just watching CornStar farm the weather is perfect and the corn is very dry and they are going crazy getting the corn out of the field as fast as they can and into their private Silo's, a week ago they were doing the soy beans and running two combines to collect it all.

Locally where I live we have Orchards and Apple, Peaches are big crops and there is also corn and soy beans being grown and there may be other like wheat or rye even sorghum. Too much to keep track of but the local corn crop has yet to be harvested but looks to be good and they are just now starting to collect the apples.

Seafood Processing Plant Goes Up in Violent Blaze - It's a Total Loss​

  • As told by By Jack Davis | The Western Journal
  • Feb 5, 2023

A food processing plant in the Canadian province of New Brunswick went up in flames Friday.
Jim LeBlanc, owner of W.E. Acres Crabmeal Ltd., said the structure was a “total loss,” according to the Canadian Television Network.
The fire erupted at about 2 p.m.

LeBlanc told CTV News the fire was started by an explosion in an oil drum.
However, Ronald Cormier, fire chief of the village of Cap-Pelé, said the cause of the fire is still unknown, but that it did not appear to have been arson, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.
Although Cormier was quoted as saying no one was in the building when the fire started and no one was injured, LeBlanc said four people were inside and that he and one worker suffered minor injuries.

“Myself and one of my co-workers were injured, like burnt… first and second-degree burns. We’ll heal,” he told CTV.
LeBlanc told CTV his co-worker who was injured went to the hospital for treatment of second-degree burns.
The building produces fertilizer and animal feed, LeBlanc said.
Cormier told the CBC six fire departments spent more than four hours fighting the blaze.
According to the CBC, the fire was the fourth fish plant fire in the region including two fires that took place in 2021 and one from 2019.
After the second of the 2021 fires, which took place on two successive weekends, Louise Landry, mayor of the village of Beaubassin-est, said the incidents were unusual, according to CBC.
