The world may never know why in the world the saying "the turtle is crossing the road, it must be going to rain!” I for one do not! [1]
I’ve heard all my life that when the turtle crosses the road there is going to be storms! The more I try to figure it out the more amusement I get out of the fact there is nothing behind the myth, but as long as the turtle crosses and the rain falls I won’t be asking any questions. So far there must be a lot of turtles crossing because all of the weather disturbances that hurricane[2] earl is spitting out towards the United States, it's quite amazing!
So far there hasn’t been much precipitation for any of the dry land wheat to soak up and grow. Boys this little disaster is really starting to concern these farmers. Naturally wheat has to get good little showers over it early or the crop will just not produce like you need it, and if the crop doesn’t produce enough then the farmers can’t put cattle out to get fattened up for market!
If wheat production decreases then you can see your bread you like so well go through the roof, price wise. Times are hard as it is with out the prices of food going up.
This graph[3] shows the wheat usage for the past 27 years, I don’t know if you notice or not the recent wheat usage trend is going in an upward trend, so if the production is down and usage is up what is going to happen? There will be a shortage in what we can buy and an inflation on the wheat products we can buy.
So keep the rain here! none of that rain, go away sillyness! Theres not a whole lot that you can do but please reframe from saying you hate rain[4]!

This was a fairly descent blog. Some of the wording was a little confusing and hard to understand. Try adding a few more details and your good to go.
ReplyDeleteI thought that your blog was really interesting. My only thing to say would be maybe not put as much space between your paragraphs, but other than that, really well done.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the blog it was interesting and easy to understand. Also I liked your wording it kept me reading. I didnt see anything wrong with the blog. Im ready to see what else you have to post.
ReplyDeletei had a bit of a hard time reading this blog, but that's only because i have to strain my eyes to read your green text. other than that it was a good post, good job!
ReplyDeletein my opinion it is good. one thing, maybe try adding a picture or two in there.. like the graph you were talking about, maybe put the picture in the blog instead of us having to click the link just to look at a picture. other than that, it is good.
