It seems the big man who blows the winds in the Falklands aint taking sides when it comes to have it pissing down on the argies :-))))))
Dec 10th, 2012 - 09:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0I watch the weather using a site in Norway and it is very accurate in its predictions and has pictorial representations of the weather over local maps for the day in question and the next two days.
Dec 10th, 2012 - 11:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0You should have seen the weather over the winter! And it is still throwing it down over the pampas, I know because we get it as well if the wind changes direction and blows it over Uruguay.
Still, it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of crooks.
Well done Yankeeboy. BTW what's the betting the numbers are wrong?
Damn, price of Weetabix just went up!

I am Sure The Falkland Islanders will be able to offer help if Argentines are short of food -such nice people.
Dec 10th, 2012 - 12:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0For the 1st time in its history Argentina will produce more Barely than Wheat.

Nothing major for Argentina. These are forecasts only. Still food production exceeding expectations in other sectors.
Dec 10th, 2012 - 06:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Oh my lord! this look really bad, US and Argentina is no produce to much, less corn equal to more expensive food for the word, poor Africans ;)

@ProRG_American with rampant inflation I am surprised any of you Argies can offord to eat, inflations running around 26% did you know that????
Dec 10th, 2012 - 09:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@13 fork que
Dec 10th, 2012 - 09:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think we should promote you to Idiot-In-Chief to go with that famous brain of AG The Turnip In Chief as both of you have the same grasp on reality: NONE.
If AG do not export wheat, where do the US$ come from to pay for your imports? The tooth fairy or TMBOA bank account ha, ha, ha.
According to someone who HAS run the finances of the country and did far better than this gang of shitehawks you will need up to 13 BILLION US DOLLARS just to buy the energy that your fabulously poorly run YPF cannot get out of the ground.
Clue: the cupboards (and the vaults of your Central Bank) are bare. Get it now? Some hope.
Quite frankly, I don't see any reason to gloat over the poor harvest in Argentina.
Dec 10th, 2012 - 11:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Ordinary Argentines will be hit together with many others around the world - the Arg. government won't feel it at all.
The USA can fill the gap left by Argentina for whatever products the fail to produce.
Dec 11th, 2012 - 12:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0I hope hope hope Chrissy is forced to buy wheat from the USA.
I will laugh and laugh
Has CFK written the book“ How to destroy a country in only 10 years” yet?
I want to buy it

I agree. An fleeting embarrassment for CFK, but a hardship for the working poor.
They new weather prediction is rain every 4 days in Jan. Something liek they has happen in 1963.
Dec 11th, 2012 - 03:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They are way behind planting Soy...way behind
I hope the crop is disastrous
absolutely disastrous
This is all coming together so nicely

Dec 12th, 2012 - 04:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0No big deal Fred B., keep hoping...that your Argentinean wife doesn't take all your money baldy.
Hey Fred,
The daily mass shooting of the day in your beloved Yankeeland, not in a movie theater this time..in a shopping mall instead.
Like you said, absolutely disastrous.

Good for Mercopress to locate this article in “Region Antartida” as this are becoming aware of Argentine Bicontinental Map.

Load of bollocks again!
Do you get paid extra for being a special idiot at La Camping It Up or do you get to suck the dick of the Chief Coke-Head, one Maximo himself?
@11 hahaha
Dec 13th, 2012 - 04:17 am - Link - Report abuse 0#20 I think the report specifically and rightly pointed out that exports will suffer, which means everyone outside Argentina will suffer. I guess you are one of those outsiders. Maybe you should get yourself a silo. I hear China has millions of baby's needing 18.000 Tones of powder milk, made in Argentina, forget the silo grow a tit.
Dec 14th, 2012 - 12:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0#21 nothing wrong ever happens in UStopia, They seem to bomb a solution into every problem.
#23 is that how the brits do politics? No wonder they wear wigs and powder their nose. Haven't seen that in Argentina yet but thanks for keeping us updated.
