Many have already lost crops to frost and may have to file insurance claims, said Ian Wishert, president of Keystone Agricultural Producers, adding that the delays are backing farmers into a corner.
"It's been quite a while since we've struggled with this many issues this late in the year," he said. "We're running out of days, we're running out of seed supplies, and we're probably going to be a few days before we can get back on the field so they're going to have to make some tough decisions."
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - The Twin Cities are wrapping up a summer cold snap that hasn't been matched since 1951.Belize: Scientists laugh at global warming scam
The State Climatology Office says the temperatures in St. Paul and Minneapolis stayed below for 60 for three straight days. That hasn't happened in June since June 1-3, 1951.
Two of my best friends, Bill Lindo and Dr. Leroy Taegar, laugh at me when I bring up the topic of global warming/climate change. They say that it is all a concoction of conspirators, but the fact of the matter is that the world’s most profitable and most powerful company, the oil company Exxon, is an opponent of the global warming/climate change concept, because it has negative implications for their profit margins. Lindo and Taegar are both scientists, and I am not. So they have the upper hand when the global warming topic comes up.

It also has negative implications for all of our personal finances. Does that mean we're ALL just in for the money?
Eco-ists can't understand that anything man-made is a win-win for everybody. To them it just can't be true that burning fossil fuels helps plants grow. In terms of the new earth worship religion, drilling oil out of the ground is like sucking blood out of mother earth.

Considering how bad the summer of 2005 (the last year I lived there) was, that's saying a lot!!
Most of my family lives in MB, and they're really not enjoying what's been going on.
