Grocery produce shelves are already becoming bare. [View all]

When I checked out this morning at my local neighborhood market, the one that sells lots of organic produce, I went through the checkout desk that was manned by the store's owner. I set my basket down and said, "looks like your produce delivery didn't arrive yesterday." "Why would you say that?" he asked. "There's very little produce," I replied. "That's all we could get; we'll try again later this week," he said. There was a pause while I paid for my purchase. I gathered up my things to leave and said, "Well, I didn't vote for him." "Neither did I," he said. "I campaigned against him."
