A decade long series of drought
occurring in the state of California may hit your grocery store soon!
According to a recent article by Kevin
Kerr ( of www.CommodityConfidential.com), “The hardest hit section
of California is the Central Valley — ‘the supermarket to the
world’ — and [it’s becoming] increasingly clear the region
won’t see relief from the devastating drought anytime soon. Retail
prices for many key agricultural commodities could jump.”
What a bad growing season will do to
this 50 billion a year food industry is anyone's guess. For sure it
will anger anyone who is on a tight food budget. It may even affect
the 2014 elections, later this year, as voters find yet another
reason to choose or not to choose a particular candidate.
