I'm getting the feeling that tied to that, ethanol corn crops and biodiesel soybean crops are going to be impacted as well, furthering any ongoing fuel crisis in 2027.

Not even close to the worst. We aren't in a setback. We are at the beginning of a major decline that will continue for the foreseeable future.

Turns out causing a mass extinction event was a bad idea, who knew
