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?

Start preparing today and enjoy abundance in the future.

Plasma Treated Seeds & Lactobacillus Serum; “Machine Learning” Farm

Seeds treated with cold plasma exhibit significant improvements in germination and growth. A team in Japan crafted a $320 device to effect these changes. ALSO: Lactobacillus serum is an amazing thing I’ve just discovered, used from unclogging drains, to aiding compost, to probiotics for your gut, to supercharging your soil. Finally: cool crowdfunded projects, and AI-based plant growth.

The natural cycles of the sun and, as a result, the changing climate on our planet, present very real and immediate challenges. Learn more about the history of previous cycles and these challenges, spread the word, and start getting prepared:

Why is Flu at RECORD levels? Immunosuppressive effects of Solar Minimum / virus from outer space?

Why is the flu reaching record levels according to the CDC, jamming hospitals around the world with patients? Could this have something to do with solar activity? How do Cosmic Rays factor in? Why is the flu vaccine less effective than ever? And what’s with the virus from outer space — is truth really stranger than fiction? Let’s take a look.

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.

if it’s not, then the leaves are changing/dropping too early, fall coming soon.
either way, this is due to the changes in the sun’s output, and concerning).
