Prepper ping - Food costs expected to go up this Fall - you have no supply chain if there is no fuel for the distribution trucks, or for farmers who grow the food.
When farmers "go into the red", it's a matter of time before they go bankrupt, or go under, or quit farming, ..altogether
What happens when farmers can't pay off their debt - they quit farming, and fewer farmers means food prices go up, ..precipitously !
Food scarcity may not occur in the USA, but the prices of food this Fall and Winter will increase ("Law of supply and demand"), or even double.
The bidet administration is fool-hardheartedly talking about 'Price controls', but that would only result in fewer products available in the market
- and such action breeds things like "black market' !
Read the entire article to understand what is coming !

blam :" Get ready for blackouts, massive theft and riots. Democrats want to eliminate oil and gas. We lose everything.
My gasoline fill-up today was $4.34 a gallon, about 15 miles west of Mobile.
If I can get through another hurricane season unharmed, I'll face the (EVEN) higher food prices in October.
We need Trump NOW!

(From the article):" “Usually, what we see on the farm, the consumer doesn’t see for another 18 months,” said John Chester, a Tennessee farmer of corn, wheat, and soybeans.
But with the severity of these cost increases, consumers could feel the effects much sooner, particularly if weather becomes a factor.

Lorenda Overman, a North Carolina farmer who raises hogs and grows corn, soybeans, and sweet potatoes, said the spike in fuel costs has put her farm into the red this year.
“Nothing that consumers are paying is going to bridge the gap for farmers right now,” she said.
“The prices now have not hit the grocery stores yet,” but she expects they will start to by the end of summer."

"Much of the cost of food hinges on the price of oil."

H/T to blam for the "heads up" !

I plan on buying direct from the farmers as much as possible.

Even if the price is the same as the grocery store, at least all the money is going to the farmer, instead of most of it going to the food brokers and knowing the farmers are getting the dirty end of the stick yet again.

We sometimes won’t eat bread. And we sometimes won’t eat meat. But the Third World will eat grass.

RE: We need Trump NOW!

So, kick the out imposter in the Oval Office, jail the cheaters, free the January 6 political prisoners, and reinstall the duly elected President Trump.

It’s a matter of doing the right thing. But how many honest politicians and judges are there to get the job done?

So Gates can snatch the farm up. Strange how everything circles back to ol' Bill.
