Massive Pesticide-Resistant Fungus is Threatening Worldwide


w3.newsmax.com
A massive pesticide-resistant fungus known as “wheat rust Ug99,” is threatening billions of dollars of wheat crops in Asia. This fungus, which is named for the place and date of its first discovery (Uganda in 1999), has spread across East Africa and the Middle East and is now threatening wheat crops in Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and India with chilling implications.

So far NO cure has been found to kill this fungus!

It's just so sad, this seem to be the way of the U.S. It's been said that as much as $80 on a barrel of oil is pure Wallstreet speculation and people all over the world are suffering because they can no longer pay for the basics goods. Now the street is buying up wheat futures and holding them untill a 1000% profit is realized..... like daddy said you wanna know who and what is causing a crises (any crises) in the world? Just follow the money, there is no such thing as TOO RICH !!
