Early days yet , crops are under incessant attacks by infections , always was , always will be
this particular virus is spread by grasshoppers ,
those are quite common in small plots but pretty much decimated in large agribusiness
Still , it's only a question of time until the large crop growing area are hit with a bad case
there was recently a trully scary outbreak of Ug 99 , of the rust family , the old enemy of Wheat
with reported losses of up to 90% , there was a few brown pants amongst the agronomists
it got , somehow , under control ! more by God's mercy than any human efforts
with the world population straining the means to feed itself
this is just to show we are a couple of growing seasons from the apocalypse ,
always was , always will be
