This is so awful for farmers.
I hope there is some openness to connecting up the dots between climate change and increasing frequency of pests out of control.

There was a "grasshopper" year when I was a teenager.. Sometime in the 90s I think. I remember how you could see waves of them in front of something was moving through the field; and all the plugged up radiators. So many pugged up radiators... The carwash had to put a grate over the drain and throw into a grasshopper pile everyday so it didn't plug up the drain.
I remember a grasshopper year in (I think) 1986, visiting my uncle in Saskatchewan. We flew into Regina and picked up the rental car, an hour and a half later it was absolutely covered in grasshoppers. It's a really distinct memory from my childhood.
We're literally witnessing the apocalypse, and yet I'm expected to go to work on Monday.
Pandemic Disease, check. Fire, check. Floods, check. Locusts, check.
