Weather Cooling Off This Year's Asparagus Crop - KNDO/KNDU Tri-Cities, Yakima, WA |

SUNNYSIDE--The asparagus business is cooling off. Unseasonably cold temperatures have pushed back harvesting in the Lower Valley. While growers aren't concerned just yet, it's already digging into workers' pockets.

Carbon emissions are the least of our environmental problems, yet that's all anyone can talk about on Earth Day, making it a complete farce and an indoctrination tool for the "social justice" crowd. If we continue on this ridiculous Global Warming path, America will turn into nothing more than another polluted banana republic.
