Soybean rust

Some people don't think hurricanes effect us in the Midwest.

And some don't believe in global warming, either.

My daughter sent this article to me from Iowa State about bean rust.

1. NO ! I eat so much soy.

Please say it ain't so! Does that mean the cost of everything I eat is going to be going up again?

My freezer will only hold a few months worth of tofu.

2. Great, more disease

The presence of disease in food crops is far too often overlooked by people. This is very important, and should be brought to more attention. I just wonder if it was a hurricane series, or a careless importation.

3. Hemp is good.

You can get Hemp protein powder and hemp-butter from Canada. It's kind of unusual because it's a whole food.
