The Judgment is making them bow…California rice farmer: Drought may make us ‘quit

Greetings,

These are the dreadful days of God. He is here in person and forcing His will “Be” to stand. America, being number 1 on His list for goal destruction, Is now folding under the plight of judgment. There is no place to run or hide from it!

….”The die is set, with a foolish people, who like, in the time of Noah, could not see the sign of the rain, bringing on the Flood even after the clouds began to darken the sky. They did not see the on-coming rain until it actually started to rain.

So it is with America. They pay no attention to the signs of the judgment that is now taking place. As the Bible prophesied in Rev. 16:9, they…”blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues…”.–pg.213(tfoa)

Again we know that….”Allah (God) is now doing as it is prophesied: Holy Qur’an, Chap. 13:41, “…visiting the land, curtailing it of its sides.” The foolish still are foolish until he is cast into a narrow place and cannot turn to the right or left, as it was with the donkey that Baalam was riding. He came to a narrow place between two walls. He could not turn around. He had to stop face to face with the angel or be destroyed. Bible Nu. 22:23-26.

 Let it be remembered that Allah (God) came forth for the Redemption (to Deliver) the American Black People from their tormentors. Whether we like it or not, He Will Do This. This is the work of Allah (God) which is in effect.

Let America use the history of the fall and destruction of ancient Egypt and her Pharaohs. Let their histories serve as a warning. They all were brought to naught for their evil done to a people whom Allah (God) has chosen for an example of these last days…the lost-found Black slaves and their slave masters.”–pg.213(tfoa)

California rice farmer: Drought may make us ‘quit’

California’s ongoing drought is claiming another victim: the state’s rice crop.

Nearly 25 percent of California’s $5 billion rice crop will be lost this year due to lack of water, say experts. And while analysts say the loss is not a crisis just yet, at least one rice producer is ready to call it a day.

“If we keep going through this drought, it may make us quit and sell the ranch,” said Sherry Polit, who grows organic rice with her family on 1,500 acres in the Northern California town of Maxwell.

“We had droughts before, but this is like the third bad one in a row,” explained Polit, who also grows organic olives.

With surface water sources drying up from lack of rain, the problem for rice producers is having enough water available to fill rice paddies, said Jim Morris, communications manager for the California Rice Commission. It’s not a case of the crop being damaged, he said, so much as it’s been reduced as farmers cut back on planting.

To try and make money, some California rice producers have turned to selling their water sources, rather than planting a crop this year, said Bruce Linquist, an agricultural researcher at the University of California, Davis. While some farmers could afford to leave their land unplanted, others have opted to just sell water rights.

Higher prices likely

California grows most of the country’s medium-grain rice. It also grows most of the short-grain rice used for sushi in the U.S. The state exports about half of its crop, mostly to Asia, and employs around 25,000 people.

But even with the drop-off in rice production in California, it will likely have little effect on the global markets, said Leslie Butler, a professor of agricultural economics at UC Davis. Rice is a crop that’s easily stored, and there’s “plenty” still in storage from previous years, Butler said……MORE HERE
