You just can't make this stuff up!
With so many folks in the Good Ol' USA complaining about things made in China, guess what? A lot of our produce also comes from China.
According to the BBC, farmers in the Jiansu province have reported the destruction of a substantial watermelon asset. Over 20 farming families in the province have planted melons. The melons are literally exploding after being given an overdose of growth accelerator forchlorfenuron creating fields filled with land mines.
With melons being a new crop which gave big profits to farmers in China last year, many first time growers jumped on the hay wagon, planting their overdosed melon seeds looking to rake in big profits. No so, with over 45 hecters of melons having been planted in the province, families have been running for cover as the fruits began exploding in the fields.
