Grain FARMING: Risky Business... and 'Climate Change'

Yes you are absolutely right.

On a global scale any climate change that occurs takes decades to have impact. It is happening naturally and we will adapt to that slow change as it evolves. In the shorter term, I think that technological advancement in equipment and farming practices and its explanded use worldwide is going to result in large overproduction in the next few decades. Every video I watch about farming in Brazil, Ukraine, China and South America shows them running around with 80ft Bourgault drills and quad tracs and NewHolland 9090s. The world is preducing more food than ever, and more oil than ever and it will be hard for us to compete with their cheap labour and their lack of cost related to regulation. The world is becoming a smaller place and we need to learn who we are competing against..hint..it isn't your neighbour the next section over.

Their labour will not stay cheap and is most likely costing them more every year now. The more advanced they get the more money it's going to cost them to operate those machines .
