Jun 25, 2010 Fungus Threatens World Wheat Crop

 

www.canada.com had this by David Akin on Fungus Threat Hangs Over World Wheat Crop which said:  “Scientists in Canada and around the world are racing to find a way to stop a destructive fungus that threatens to wipe out 80 per cent of the world's wheat crop, causing widespread famine and pushing the cost of such staples as bread and pasta through the roof.  Canadian officials say that the airborne fungus, known as Ug99, has so far proved unstoppable, making its way out of eastern Africa and into the Middle East and Central Asia. It is now threatening areas that account for more than one-third of the world's wheat production and scientists in North America say it's only a matter of time before the pest hits the breadbasket regions of North America, Russia and China. ‘I think it's important people start recognizing what a big threat this is. This could mean world famine. This is quite the deal,’ said Rob Graf, a research scientist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's research centre in Lethbridge, Alta.

Comment:  Bad News

Jun 26, 2010 Winter Wheat Crop in Ohio affected with Fungus, Head Scab and Blight

 

The Courier of Findlay, Ohio had this story by Jim Maurer on Fungus outbreak hits wheat:

 

"A major outbreak of a fungus known as head scab or head blight is afflicting Ohio's winter wheat crop, state and area agriculture officials say.  The disease, called Fusarium graminearum, causes shriveled, lightweight, white chalky kernels with tinges of pink. It reduces the yield and grain quality that farmers see at harvest, which is getting under way.  

 

“It is the first major outbreak of the disease in about a decade statewide, Pierce Paul, a plant pathologist and small grains specialist with Ohio State University Extension, said in an article on the university's website.  A statewide survey of wheat fields earlier this month found high percentages of the disease in northwestern Ohio.  In Hancock and Putnam counties, prime production areas for wheat, 15 percent to 40 percent of the plant heads were infected, according to Wilson and Glen Arnold, Putnam County's Extension agent.”

 

Comment:  Does this sound like Deut 28:22; I Kg 8:37; Amos 4:9; Hag 2:17?
