The Stage Is Being Set For A Massive Global Rice Shortage

I read somewhere that some claimed if you wanted to surreptitiously grow veggies in the wild, to plant potato plants.

Most people have no idea what the plant looks like and would not know it’s food.

Might be good to keep in mind when the powers that be start coming around and confiscating foodstuffs for “fair distribution “ which means they get it and we don’t.

Think Holodomor.

There are also potato varieties that flower heavily enough to be considered ornamentals. Some are really striking.

But, for a low-maintenance “secret” food garden, I’d go with Jerusalem Artichokes. The tubers can be used the same as potatoes, although the flavor is different. But, the plants look like weeds, and they’re perennial. If you plant different cultivars, they might even produce seeds. They are self-incompatible, so they won’t produce seeds if the parents are too similar. The seeds can be used the same as sunflower seeds.

I live in Arkansas and our state produces half of the US rice production. My guess is our production will be much lower this year because of months of drought

Like Missouri I bet the rice production in Arkansas is along the Mississippi river bottom.

Drought will NOT effect rice production there.

If the Mississippi goes dry rice production will be the LEAST of our problems!
