“Grand Solar Minimum” have you heard about this event?

I first found out about this a week ago where several of my favorite Homestead you-tube channels had talked about it. It’s about Cold Weather Crop Losses due to Shortened Growing Seasons and may shed some light on why all the rain and miserably cold and longer winters we’ve had recently.

I recommend you visit the authors' channel Tinyhouse Prepper who has put a lot of time researching and verifying the information on the Grand Solar Minimum event in the links below. Each one is about 25 minutes long.

  2. Have been following this for months on the Oppenheimer Ranch Report on You Tube. Climate is controlled by our sun and sunspots. When the sun is quiet, like now, we go into the cold cycle.

  3. Hey Mike,

    I read this book -- Not by Fire But by Ice, Robert W. Felix -- and stopped listening to the global warming crowd.

    Perhaps the Holocene is over~!

    later,

  4. Our local big city newspaper (liberal) is hinting at an early frost...Thank God Sweet corn harvest has started and wheat should be in a week or two.

  5. I like the Sun Spot count. It is something anyone can research for the years and number of spots vs growing seasons first frost and winter length.
    For the homesteader it may be time to consider a large 25x50 hoop greenhouse and grow human edibles in a protected environment.
    For pasture feed grains and grasses that just won't grow enough to feed the current level of livestock, we may very well be screwed!
