1942:  God Provides Record Breaking Harvests To England As They Are Pounded By The Difficulties of War With Axis Forces!

  Among the other God-provided miracles of support and intervention, from 1942, that helped Britain survive while standing nearly alone in the world against the violent onslaughts of an expanding evil empire, and to ultimately prevail against the full brunt of this Naxi war machine, the eye-popping abundance of the English crops that year must be mentioned.  Armies march on their stomach, and many a military conflict has been lost on the basis of denied supplies, such as fuel, or especially food provisions.

  Hitler's commanders were supremely aware of this need for food.  England had soldiers on the mainland of Europe who needed to be fed regularly and well, and there had been ships bringing part of that food from mainland Europe prior to the war, but those ships were fewer by far now that the war was on.  Yet the people at home in England just as surely needed to be nourished, not only for their health, but because they too were crucial to the war effort.  Yet supply ships full of food trying to cross over from England to the European continent were the target of furious attack, and cargo ships full of food were sunk.  These factors could have led to terrible shortages on both sides of the English Channel for the British.    

  The year 1942 was perhaps the darkest year of the war for Britain.  Some American troops had arrived in Britain by the end of January in 1942, but it was a while still before the USA had organized all of its efforts and fully joined into the conflict.  And so Britain still stood much alone and was desperately dependent on God for their national protection and aid. (As all nations everywhere always are, though it goes unadmitted in almost all of our ungrateful cases!)  And in answer from God to their worries and many prayers, the British received what has been described as an amazingly abundant harvest of grains.  It was not just a great crop, but perhaps as good a crop as had been known, said some.  Much human effort had gone into the crops being plentiful that year also it is claimed, but it is God who sends the rains and the sunlight in their needed ratios and cultivates the bacterial and fungal abundance of the soil to give it richness for crops.

  From the book "We Have A Guardian" by W.B. Grant, with new material by Michael A. Clark, page 29 and 30, 5th edition 2011 by The Covenant Publishing Company, here is an excerpt relating to this agricultural miracle.  Quote:

  "The need was, therefore, for a bumper crop in 1942.  To this end a supreme effort was made by the British agriculture and a degree of co-operation and united labour was achieved as never before in our history, added to which were the prayers of innumerable people that blessing might result.  How those prayers were answered was revealed by Mr. R.S. Hudson, Minister of Agriculture, in a Postscript to the BBC 9 o'clock news on Old Michaelmas night 1942, when he said:

  "But this also I would say to you in humility and seriousness.  Much hard work and technical skill have played their part in these mighty yields, among the richest of all time.  But I believe we have a higher power to thank as well, and from the depths of our hearts.

  'Some power has wrought a miracle in the English harvest fields this summer, for in this year, our year of greatest need, the land has given us bread in greater abundance than we have ever known before.  The prayer, "Give us this day our daily bread," has in these ties a very direct meaning for us all.'  

  That this Divine blessing continued is brought to notice in an article "This Wonderful Year," by L.F. Easterbrook in the News Chronicle. (6.5.43):

  'Mr. Hudson was not ashamed to acknowledge last year the Divine Power that gave us a record harvest just when we most needed it.  Can anyone doubt that the Power has been at work again?  It has brought us through what might have been a very difficult winter with an unerring hand.  For that we can be thankful for having sufficient fuel and sufficient milk, for wheat in the fields that never looked better, for grass in the meadows that has enabled winter feeding stuffs to be conserved, so that the small poultry keeper is now to get more food for his hens, and the housewife to get more milk for the family.

  'We are still only half-way to harvest, and disasters can still happen.  But nothing should take away our thankfulness for a season that has warmed and fed our bodies and cheered our hearts more generously than any dared hope.  If we have deserved it, we should feel proud, as well as humbly thankful.' "   End Quote

It was not just in England that good harvests appeared that year.  America's 1942 harvest would obviously be important to the American war effort that began about 7 December, 1941 after the attack on Pearl Harbor.  Those American troops were employed in an even more distant location from home, so shipping could face many more nautical miles of danger per delivery.  And troop transport ships had to feed those aboard for a longer time, since America had so much more ocean to cross to conduct their part of the war.  

  Here is a section of a remembrance type article published by the Mandan and Morton County news, Aug 25, 2017, mentioning that England was not the only Allied country blessed with wildly abundant crops in 1942, just when they were needed so badly and when so great a number of supply ships were being sunk by German U-boats and various air attacks.  This resoundingly ample harvest took a lot of strain off of the supply and logistics workers trying to win the a war.
