America is the target of “The judgment” — Rain severely damages barley crop in Montana, Idaho

Greetings,

We have been constantly telling you that this is the end of America. She has angered God in person. Now He is hitting her with the forces of nature to bring her down by degrees. This is what we see happening right here in America.

For a nation that once prided herself on being the breadbasket of the world, these plagues and devastation has destroyed her capabilities to not only produce food for other nations, but it has now destroyed her ability to provide for her own, thus we see growing food insecurity and skyrocketing food prices around the country.

….” The most dreadful divine judgments that have ever been witnessed by man are now coming on America. America is the divine target because she could have bettered herself in the divine eyes of Allah (God), Who came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom praises are due forever. “–pg.232(tfoa)

The time that we are in now is a time of the manifestation of the anger of God on this wicked land and people. She(America) will suffer one calamity after another one. Isn’t this going on now?

Rain severely damages barley crop in Montana, Idaho

BILLINGS (AP) — That rain on the plain that saturated Montana’s malt barley crop in late August could be tears in the beer of American brewers in 2015.

Heavy late-August rains have damaged crops in the nation’s largest malt-barley producing states, Montana and Idaho. The rains caused much of the states’ barley to sprout in the field, rendering much of it useless for beer making.

Maltsters are warning brewers that barley will be available but pricey in 2015 when this year’s crop becomes next year’s beer ingredient.

“We’ve been told to expect major price increases for malt,” said Tim Mohr of Angry Hank’s Brewery in Billings. “There is no panic yet. Everybody has been telling us not to panic. There is carry-over from last year’s malt supply. Our prices are stable until January, but beer prices are going up.”

Roughly half of Montana’s malt barley crop was harvested or close to harvest and in excellent condition when heavy rains clobbered north-central Montana the weekend of Aug. 24. Malt barley growers in the Yellowstone River drainage were finishing up an exceptional growing season.

But north-central Montana farmers, particularly those in the area known as the Fairfield Bench, the self-proclaimed malt barley capital of the world, weren’t as far along as those in the south. The region received several inches of rain at the wrong time, causing the malt barley to germinate. That’s bad news for brewing companies like Anheuser-Busch InBev and MillerCoors, which typically tolerate only a percentage or two of germination in the malt barley they buy.

Germination in the worst-hit areas exceeds 50 percent, according to people in the industry. The damage came just weeks after wet weather in Idaho devastated the malt barley there.

“Barley was bad in Idaho, and it looked like Montana would be the savior,” said Cassidy Marn, Montana Wheat and Barley Committee marketing director.

Early August rains in eastern Idaho dumped several inches on malt barley country and caused more than 50 percent germination in regions there.

Barley that doesn’t pass muster for malt has been marketed as animal feed. This year’s malt barley prices were more than $12 per hundredweight. The animal feed barley price was less than $5 on the Montana cash market Monday and likely to be driven down further as disappointed malt farmers look to sell.

Marn and her Idaho counterparts are focusing on ways to market as much of the remaining malt barley as possible.

In addition to Montana and Idaho, North Dakota’s malt barley crop has also been clobbered by weather. The three states produce most of the nation’s malt barley. The crop losses in all three states are a triple whammy for the industry.

“We had big problems back in 2002 in Montana and North Dakota, but I don’t think Idaho had such big problems that year,” said Scott Heisel of the American Malt Barley Association. “This seems geographically widespread, and because the harvest is still going on it’s hard to tell how bad it is.”

Poor weather is also threatening the Canadian crop, Heisel said. Still, it’s hard to tell how badly the unharvested malt barley will fare….More Here
