Year of the locust / Bill Coffin

They attack by the millions, massed so thickly they blot out the sun. Endleely voracious, they reduce entire lush croplands to baren ruin in hours. And once they take flight, they are almost impossible to stop. They are locusts, the creatures of biblical plague. They are having a banner year in 2005, and that spells disaster for farmers and agricultural businesses from western Africa to eastern Australia
