Farmers Warn That The Megadrought In The Western U.S. Threatens To Cause Devastating...

• theeconomiccollapseblog.com, by Michael Snyder

Scientists tell us that a multi-year "megadrought" has developed in the southwestern portion of the country, and this is the worst year of that "megadrought" so far by a wide margin.  If conditions do not radically improve soon, we are going to have a major agricultural disaster on our hands.  Some farmers have already decided not to plant crops at all this year, but many others have decided to plant anyway knowing that if enough rain doesn't come their crops will certainly fail.

As I have discussed previously, the epicenter of this "megadrought" is the Four Corners region in the Southwest, but this drought is so immense it is even causing immense nightmares for farmers as far away as North Dakota.
