Thread Name: BS: Potato famine virus back in Rhode Island
Subject: BS: Potato famine virus back in Rhode Island
I don't have the exact link..just saw the news though...it is affecting potato and tomato farms back east. My first instinct is to panic, having been sure my whole life it would come back, like a monster in wait. But hopefully they have better ways of combating it and a wider variety of foods. They said it has to be combatted early though and will be hard for organic farmers. mg
