weather and the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune

Fortune is what some people will make and others lose as the weather heats up across the US.  With temps over 115 degrees in parts of the south crops will suffer at the best and collapse with any other stresses.  Add the fact that many acres will never be planted due to flooding and there will be less commodity crops harvested.  Also, throughout the east and midwest, veg growers are facing the same challenges as their row crop counterparts.  Flooding, late planting, heat and now drought are setting markets in motion.  Farmers with average yields on many crops will make money.  Others with poor or no crops will lose.  Oh Fortuna.
