Some of us know which side of our bread is buttered.

The Dems are the only ones that ever tried to do something about global climate change. Here in East TN, we also experienced a drought and then flooding. It's the constant changing of weather patterns that really make it hard to farm.

I've lived on this farm for about 25 years and I have never had such difficulty growing vegetables. What would grow in spring no longer can take the heat and bolts or sun scalds. What grew in early summer now gets flooded and attacked by bacteria and mildew. And I haven't even mentioned the new bug invasion that eats everything including trees. While the insects you relied on to keep the voracious hoards of planting eating bugs at bay are slowly disappearing and are too few to make an impact.

The sudden switch from frost to warm to frost in spring has killed off my fruit trees. The 90+ temperatures in late summer puts plants into heat stress or dormancy. And the excessive heat delays the planting of my fall crops so they don't get enough growth in before the frost hits.

Anyway, I never am sure what the weather will do so a lot of my plantings tend to die off. But a few survive. And I learn from them. It's always an experiment.
