World War Ii Soil Conservation

A week of unpleasant rain in May, followed by an abnormal cold, humid summer might have thrown off the summer harvest, resulting in a shortfall of food. Due to a surplus left over from the previous harvest, no one went hungry. But after a couple of bad harvests, the surplus began to run out. This happened in Europe in 1044.
