The granaries are empty.

She was beloved for her service to mankind in giving them the gift of the harvest, the reward for cultivation of the soil. Also known as the Greek goddess Demeter, Ceres was the goddess of the harvest and was credited with teaching humans how to grow, preserve, and prepare grain and corn. She was thought to be responsible for the fertility of the land.
Ceres was the only one of the gods who was involved on a day-to-day basis in the lives of the common folk. While others occasionally “dabbled” in human affairs when it suited their personal interests, or came to the aid of “special” mortals they favored, the goddess Ceres was truly the nurturer of mankind.

i am not sure who thought depleting the reserves was a good idea. i do know that this doesn’t bode well on any level you can think of.

When you look at the floods in America’s heartland this is not very good news. The decisions of the Bush cabal coupled with the shortsightedness of the Dems in Congress with respect to the latest farm bill and we have a recipe for a very hungry nation if just one or two more things happen that impact our food supply. Thanks for the link even though the news sucks.
