The large amount of rain that has fallen in October, has begun to worry farmers as the task of sowing maize and soya beans is becoming severely hampered. In addition, we will have to assess the impact on the development of wheat crops which are due to be harvested at the end early December. I fear could be affected similarly to the UK wheat crops that were so badly hit by the high summer rainfall and lack of sunshine in May/June.

In 2010, the U.S. wind turbines industry installed 5,115 MW of generating capacity, increasing the country's installed wind farm capacity by 15%, according to the American Wind Energy Association.
