It’s Official: Catastrophic Season for US / Australia Starts Importing Wheat

USDA data confirms a record poor planting of corn, as Australia imports wheat for the first time in 12 years, Italy declares natural disasters due to flooding, and Switzerland encounters frosts later than in 70 years. As crop losses intensify, food prices are rising, and you must start growing your own food!

Grand Solar Minimum: Billion € Crop Losses, Grow Zones Shifting

“The regular Joe does not know what’s going on.” / “Our livelihood is at risk.” As Galactic Cosmic Rays continue to intensify under our quiet sun, staggering agricultural catastrophes abound. The pope encourages you to eat Leftovers, and Google News talks about Qanon; all distractions are in play as the Grand Solar Minimum intensifies. Exciting times for humanity–worthwhile challenges as consciousness rises. Start growing your own food today.

Spread the truth – these are natural cycles, and it’s up to us to build anti-fragile communities in order to thrive in the times ahead.

Potatoes on the Moon, Greenhouses in Antarctica – Crop Losses Continue

Crop losses continue due to late spring blizzards/frosts, but you won’t see this on the MSM, so I’ve sourced some local news pieces. Meanwhile, the establishment furiously pours resources into growing food in increasingly inhospitable conditions, such as antarctica and the dark side of the moon. How are you preparing?

Most Catastrophic Disaster of 2018; Food Prices Jump Globally

The drought in Argentina/Uruguay is now estimated at $3.9 Billion of damage, one of the worst in history. As the Northern Hemisphere continues to wait for Spring to plant–which means reduced yields–we have already taken one significant step towards global FOOD SHOCK, with production neutralized from one of the major “breadbaskets” of the world. — Welcome to the Grand Solar Minimum. Start taking daily steps toward self-sufficiency now.

Adapt 2030: Roundtable w/ Christian of Ice Age Farmer & Diamond of Oppenheimer Ranch – Grand Solar Minimum Primer & Solutions

David DuByne of Adapt 2030 hosts a two-hour roundtable featuring Christian from Ice Age Farmer and Diamond of Oppenheimer Ranch Project. Together, we discuss how the natural cycles of the sun and, as a result, the changing climate on our planet, present very real and immediate challenges. As well, we offer hope by highlighting ideas and philosophies that will help us as we approach the a certain, tumultuous future in the next Grand Solar Minimum.

ALERT: Media Hiding 2018 Food Shortages — Rising Prices to cause Unrest in GSM

Tipped off by a subscriber, Christian locates an industry magazine in UK that confirms fruit & vegetable shortages across Europe due to cold & drought, and resulting price increases. Media coverage of last year’s shortages was legion–why is there ABSOLUTE SILENCE this year? Perhaps because food is the perfect weapon, as history shows, causing social and political unrest when prices rise too quickly. PLEASE share the word about the Grand Solar Minimum with other people, so that they too can prepare.

“Who controls the food supply controls the people.”
-Henry Kissinger

The changes brought on by the Grand Solar Minimum continue to accelerate, destroying agriculture and human health. Are you prepared for the new reality ahead? How are you taking responsibility for your family’s nutritional sovereignty and healthcare? Let me know — iceagefarmer@gmail.com.

SIX RULES of organic philosophy according to John Seymour’s 1980 “Self Sufficient Gardener”:
1. Work with, not against, nature.
2. Nature is diverse; so too must we practice diversity.
3. Must husband other forms of life in environments as close as possible to those in which that life evolved.
4. Must return to the soil as much as we remove/harvest from it (law of conservation I’d energy at work)
5. Feed the soil, not the plant
6.must observe nature as a whole, never any single part of it.

SHOW NOTES:

1. Daily Steps: folks from IAF community share experiences, lessons, and progress towards food security
A few folks starting moringa, glad to see.
Great Laker: successfully merged five young pullets in to a coop of older hens and they are all getting along, ( harder than it sounds) I sewed a bunch of gauze (tule) bags and put them over my heirloom pepper plants to keep them from cross pollinating. I did some cleaning in my greenhouse of the stuff left behind from growing seedlings earlier. The rest of the day I sat around watching youtube videos, especially ones about raising rabbits. A project maybe for next year.
Rockers 78: put terraced shelves along the afternoon sun side brick wall with 5 shelves and grew different veggies on each shelf, trying something new. You would be surprised on how much food one needs to grow to support a family. I would recommend to grow 60% of whatever grows well for you, that you can trade others who garden
Jim: attempting to build with
Me: blackberries. scratched all over, fingers are purple. need more, they go fast on my son’s pancakes
ton of starts in the AP
Moringa — the two biggest were getting some spots, leaf rot. may be that had been watering from above, saw a mold that can result. did repot them, both in one huge pot — mistake?
Moved the two dwarf moringa starts in high-intensity lighting zone, since they’re struggling

DATA: Entomologists warning pests are more dangerous due to cool weather:
“Planting dates were late in many areas and cool weather has slowed plant growth, leading to delayed maturity in many areas. These late maturing crops may remain vulnerable to pest injury longer than usual,”

4. Questions:
Zach: how to inform others, it sounds crazy to them, they don’t believe it, i don’t want them to think i’ve gone insane
great question. can only share as much with someone as they are willing to hear. but do that!
the important part is that WE ALL SHARE THIS INFORMATION — when people hear a little bit from 3 different directions, they start to pay attention, and will TURN ON and investigate themselves
that is among the reasons i do this show.
it’s not until they TURN ON that they can be receptive, it’s just the way it is

I’m empathetic person,
I’ve been thinking a lot about this as well, because there’s a huge component of GRIEF
Grief’s first stage is denial.
Denial is supported by the MEDIA, who are also DENIAL, and in fact FULL FORCE AGENDA WARMING
as well as by the PEOPLE AROUND YOU WHO DON’T KNOW

why grieve? for the future we no longer have, for our children, for the ability to live in the reality that everyone else around us still is plugged into; it’s a matrix moment
why fear? for loss of abundance, food, water, loss of civil society and physical security, famine/war, the cryptocratic state using hunger to control people, …
can be helpful, to write or enumerate, as i just did: write down what’s been lost, or what you fear
then do the same for what we can celebrate:
collapse of the absolutely, perfectly corrupt economy
demise of anyone who watches reality television
a return — a requisite one, but a return nonetheless — to living in harmony with nature, and human community
a rebirth
hold these things close.

Back on grief/denial :: it’s really important to wake up each morning and “set an intention,” remind yourself of your own conclusions and convictions, and follow through on acting on them, throughout the day.

I really feel for all of us, who are gaining this knowledge, and really celebrate those of us who integrate it into their life, and make positive changes.

these are hard conclusions, but they are supported by hard data.

as for continuing to appear sane to those around you, i’ll offer you F Scott Fitzgerald:
The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. F. Scott Fitzgerald
