Jim Rogers: Much bigger problems around the globe than the drought in the US

The international investor and commodities guru Jim Rogers warned that there are larger problems in the global agriculture than the drought in the United States. The problems in the US are very serious since the Midwest is facing a crisis following the lack of rains that is causing soybean and corn crops to wilt.

Although that the current temperatures in some regions of the United States are exceeding the records from the Dust Bowl era, Rogers believes that these problems are nothing compared to the larger problems in the global agriculture as a whole.
