Here are some exerts from the article.

"Water companies, the NFU and meteorologists said up to 200 per cent of normal rainfall is needed until June"

"The Weather Channel forecast below-average rainfall until the start of May."

"But, amazingly, in drenched Scotland, soil has been so waterlogged farmers were unable to plant winter crops including wheat, oilseed rape, oat and barley. Wheat plantings were down 14 per cent year on-year."

This is where it get's really scarey.....It's basic economics, less produce available, the more people will pay for it. The more it costs them, the more it costs us, the consumer. "Farming leaders predicted “very high” price spikes hitting all home-grown vegetables – including potatoes, onions, carrots, broccoli and cauliflowers – as well as all fruits."

Ready for the terrifier?

"The price of a pint could shoot up due to increased barley and hops prices, the British Beer and Pub Association said."
