If the dollar becomes worthless, with what would you pay for that scarce beef or grain?
A lot.
We sold our small herd of cattle 2 years ago. Have not repurchased because of lack of winter grazing. You cannot afford to feed them grain & hay all winter without winter pasture. No rain, No pasture.
At some point, soon, the price will spike.
Last year we made 1/2 the normal wheat crop. This year is looks like 1/4 the normal. And we are lucky, 90% of the acreage planted was so bad that they will never harvest it, claim the insurance. Locally, seed wheat will be extremely scarce this fall. I am in the process of looking out of state for a way to supplement that. Not sure it is practical, but we shall see.
I am hoping that we avoid the dollar collapse, due to the fact that all other currencies are worse than ours.

Wait till government asks to be paid in gold and not paper. Fracking irs already jails those paying with pennies.
That’s the real deal.
