Farming Insider Warns The Coming Food Shortages Are Going To Be Far Worse Than We’re Being Told

“Things for 2022 are interesting (and scary). Input costs for things like fertilizer, liquid nitrogen and seeds are like triple and quadruple the old prices. It will not be profitable to plant this year. Let me repeat, the economics will NOT work. The way I see it, there will be a major grain shortage later in the year, especially with corn. I mean, we are small with that. What about these people in the Midwest who have like 10,000 acres of corn? This will not be good.”

Whereas the author makes some good points especially about fertilizer shortages his rant reeks as a promotion for his book “7 Year Apocalypse”. His “source” for his farming forecast is a corn farmer in N.C. North Carolina corn farmer? The state is a bit player in the corn market and the majority of their corn goes to animal feed.

A Farming Insider Has Warned Me That The Coming Food Shortages Are Going To Be FAR WORSE Than We Are Being Told

Here’s his warning on another website:

The information that I am about to share with you is extremely alarming, but I have always endeavored to never sugarcoat things for my readers. Right now, there are shortages of certain items in grocery stores across the United States, and food supplies have gotten very tight all over the globe. I have repeatedly warned that this is just the beginning, but I didn’t realize how dire things have already gotten until I received an email from a farming insider that I have corresponded with over the years. I asked him if I could publicly share some of the information that he was sharing with me, and he said that would be okay as long as I kept his name out of it.

According to this farming insider, dramatically increased costs for fertilizer will make it impossible for many farmers to profitably plant corn this year.

.....As for the farming, I see it getting bad. Things like fertilizer and liquid nitrogen have tripled and quadrupled in price. Yes commodity prices are up, but that certainly wont cover the new increased input costs. We are in NC, so while certainly not like the midwest, we still grow grain. The midwest of course will have these same higher input costs as well.

....Of course the corn market is much larger. Think animal feed and ethanol. I mean for animals, soybeans are used too, but its a mix. What happens to the animal producers who depend on reasonably priced corn? I just don’t see how it can end well. I mean, even if we end up with plenty of soybeans, even a glut, then you have a busted market for that. I don’t know. There just isnt much history to base any of this on. I just see it hurting both grain farmers, and animal farmers, and also translating to more shortages and price increases for consumers who buy the end products.

....Basically, the stage is being set for the sort of historic global crisis that I have been relentlessly warning about.

Many Americans had assumed that even if the rest of the world was suffering that we would be immune.

But now there are widespread shortages all over the nation, and the Wall Street Journal just published a major article entitled “U.S. Food Supply Is Under Pressure, From Plants To Store Shelves”.

This is really happening.

In Washington D.C., residents are being instructed to “just buy what you need and leave some for others”…

....A lot of people are going to be caught off guard by the pace of change.

Things are shifting so rapidly that it really is hard to keep up with it all unless you are paying very close attention.

Now that you have been exposed to the information in this article, please don’t go back to sleep.

This is not a drill.

We really are heading into a nightmare scenario, and I strongly urge you to act accordingly.

***It is finally here! Michael’s new book entitled “7 Year Apocalypse” is now available in paperback and for the Kindle on Amazon.***

*****
The author is another book peddler.

IMO fertilizer prices will adversely effect crop production how much is TBD depending where one lives. The supply chain breaking down will cause consumer pain also.
