If we go through another drought on the prairies, food prices are going to skyrocket.

Many farmers in my area cover their fields with plastic sheet. We see it all the time at this time of year.

Trust me it's plastic sheet. You can see it clearly as the fields are right by the road. It's not any kind of fabric. The farmers around here have been using it for a few years. I've seen them putting it down and taking it up.

And again, while it might not be Reemay, I'M still skeptical that any farmers would take the time and effort to cover hundreds of acres in plastic only to have to then remove said plastic before the dawn, which i also dont see you posting evidence of, so... I'm going to go with my ten plus years of working with and on farms, in farming communities, with actual farmers.edit on 10-5-2012 by stanguilles7 because: (no reason given)
