Beans & Wheat Prices Climb

The fact that drought conditions persist in the southern hemisphere does not bode well for global inventories of grains. Please note in the article link how the Chicao grain markets dominate and set world prices for grains (as well as livestock) This fits Revelation 18:11-13 and the description of a future Babylon.

Australia's Decade Of Drought

May End In Floods

Heavy Rains in Australia have triggered floods that are now negatively impacting livestock ranchers.

Farmers in the Barkly region of Queensland and the Northern Territory, have been devastated this week, having to shoot cattle stranded in mud and unable to move or be rescued.

This comes in the wake of the recent rains breaking the longest drought in the history of Australia.

The exporters association president Sid Parker, confirmed on Thursday that many farmers were shooting cattle from helicopters, in an attempt to stop the suffering of being bogged down in the mud.

One has to remember that these cattle are strangers to rain, having been conceived and born in drought conditions. The cattle could not be reached by horse or motor vehicle as roads are under water.

The problems have been so serious on the Barkly Tablelands, that is going to have a big impact on cattle numbers from the region for this and for next year.
