TheJournal.ie reports:

Because of poor weather most spring crops were planted between 6 and 8 weeks later than normal.

Farmers were banking on a perfect growing season for these crops to achieve a normal yield, however the drought set in shortly after planting and many crops have received almost no rain since they were placed in the ground.

Total cereal production is set to drop by 27% while, with production set to fall by a staggering 58%, the worst performing crop is forecast to be wheat planted in the spring.

    >>>>> I'm feeling a bit sensitive today.

    Somebody should have clearly stated they were grumpy as hell.
    The post about a Japan heat wave already has two Hiroshima jokes. Maybe you're overreacting to tastelessness, which is indeed a problem when dealing with potatoes.

    My solution is a small pat of butter and a good teaspoon of curry powder (+/- to taste) on a baked potato -- mash together, yummy!
