Too bad Biotech hasn't found a reliable way to genetically engineer the weather! I did see a write-up about genetically engineering humans to withstand drought and perhaps we could find a gene to produce our own food, or maybe we could photosynthesize and get our energy straight from the sun. But that would be a one time deal for agrobiz. I suppose we could be charged monthly--every month of our lives or have the engineering terminated! 
 
I truly believe these recent weather issues are a prime example of the reason GM crops are not the answer. The problem is knowing which crop to plant when. While I feel for the farmers and all of us who likewise suffer, I do resent that fact that farmers have made a deal with biotech and replaced our natural food with GM one without ever asking us what we thought about that. And the farmers do not appear to be any better off for this decision. The same problems exist, now you rely on biotech for the next fix to the last problem. And then the next fix for the problem the fix caused. And nothing can fix the weather.
