Dear reader,
The second edition in a row that highlights the climate change crisis we all face here on earth. Sub-Saharan farming will not be possible due to climate change.
It’s not only the rising sea levels, bigger storms or higher temperatures we should fear, even a trip to the Kruger Park could leave you disappointed as you will only find a few lost Impala’s next to the road looking for a ride to the nearest McDonald’s. The fault lies with this terrible climate change crisis.
Agriculture can do whatever they want to succeed here in southern Africa, it will all be in vain. Nature will punish you to such an extend that Antarctica is the only place you can grow a new crop.
Does the above make sense to you? Fortunately it’s all bullshit.
Not too worry. If you are worth your salt in farming, you should succeed. Just don’t tell it to those alarmists, especially during hot days. They might just punch your face in anger.
Rather tell them during the winter. Cooler weather is safer for hot heads.
Happy reading!
Tim
