Yeah the fertilizer issue is pretty worrying. Some of the typical big growers of corn/soy will be going with soy because it takes less fertilizer. Meanwhile, corn or something derived from corn is in everything. Most animal feed/food is mainly corn based.
When/if it gets to the point where people’s EBT cards won’t buy squat, all hell will break loose.
The average American is 30-50% overweight. A food shortage would be a good thing in a lot of cases.
What is wrong with just using composted manure and dead fish (adds nitrogen) for fertilizer as the early pioneers did? You could use wood ash to add lime to your soil.
But, the greenies turn it into gasoline to save Gaia...
Thanks for keeping the prepper threads going.
