Thai farmers to be told to skip dry-season rice crop

Wow. If taken literally, don't farm this year. Save the water for the millions of people that the country can't support, or that the "modern" infrastructure needs. Amazingly bad water management. The country has outgrown its ability to govern or maintain itself.

Fuel for the fire of Agenda 21 now Agenda 30. Give it 20 years for Big Agra tied to some very rich elites and politicos to move the farmers to centralized population centers and mandate centralized corporate-based (GMO) farming in the name of 'food' and 'national' security. But unlike the sheep average Western citizen, those in the agrarian-based Thai culture will probably react pretty negatively. That could spark significant civil unrest. Pushed hard enough, civil war. It's not like rural Thais are going to migrate to the city for manufacturing jobs that are now being outsourced to countries with cheaper labor forces. Thus withers and dies the Thai developing middle class, and any reason to move out of the villages.

Let them eat dirt/cake ?

Add water, of course.Makes it more digestible.

Are there not still several millions of tons of rice in storage that is still edible? No-one should be starving in this country.

Yingluck had no control of the floods. Prayuth has no control of the drought.

It is what it is, a natural disaster.

But someone has control of lowing the reservoir levels and not working with International experts to develop a viable water management plan.

Caveat: Don't bother asking any company in the US. They aren't addressing their own water management problems, especially in California.
