Local and short-term idiocy is not the problem, and the Little Ice Age 
was 550 years long; that's long enough for even the most hardheaded to 
discover they need to do something different.

The real problem is cold soggy soil too late into spring so the seeds 
rot rather than sprout, and not enough warm sunny days for the crop to 
mature, regardless of what crop that might be. Even rutabagas, which 
grow in Norway, are subject to such limitations.
