Yeah it was and is a shitty harvest for many. The stress and worry is dangerous and depressing. All farmers have experienced some sort of issues over their career. Myself included. And it is not fun.
In my farming career we have had all kinds of extreme weather of different types.
Climate scientists have been saying there is a link between extreme weather events and climate change. And we should plan for more extreme weather.
When people start claiming the scientist are all wrong then we have a problem. That is just a lame weak excuse not to do anything.
Agriculture depends on good weather. To ignore what climate scientist are saying about serious changes to the earths climate is just plain foolish. Yes there are some benefits to a longer warmer growing season in a northern prairie climate. But there can also be a lot of losses and disruption.
Farmers have every right to be concerned about climate change and its impacts.
Listen to the scientists.
