Here it comes: Food prices set to skyrocket throughout 2022 as rising costs hit small-to-medium-sized farms
Starvation.news ^ | 1/20/22 | JD Hayes

Joe Biden is quickly becoming known as ‘The Inflation President’ as prices rise on just about everything that Americans need to survive, including food.

And what’s more, prices are not expected to drop anytime soon because this administration is simply not competent.

The Epoch Times reports that due to ever-rising costs on small to mid-sized farms, food prices are set to skyrocket at least through 2022 and likely beyond, meaning wage gains that Americans experienced throughout the Trump administration are quickly dissipating as they pay more at the grocery store, the gas pump and in monthly energy and clothing expenses.

Jon Schwalls, head of Southern Valley Fruit and Vegetables, told the outlet that production costs are rising throughout all sectors of the company’s operation, noting that small farmers are being squeezed particularly hard. The farming operation, based in Georgia, saw an increase of 48 percent in fuel costs last year — and prices are continuing to rise — while packing materials increased 18 percent, pallets by 75 percent, and refrigerants by a whopping 200 percent in 2021.

The illegal alien cancer will be metastasized throughout the country when they get the rug pulled out from under them with no more government checks and empty store shelves.

Then the fun begins.

We are seeing the communists create a shortage that will lead to starvation if we let them continue. They are controlling the food supply and they will control us or see us dead.

This is why “Farm to Home” is now so popular..cutting out the food store middleman and home gardening and canning is taking off especially among millennials.

Burpee Seed Co who sells to mostly gardeners had a record year in 2020 and 2021 and sold out both years

Get out that old Better Homes and Gardens cook book from the 40s and 50s and start making casseroles. Put up some in the freezer so you don’t get sick of eating the same stuff every night. If I have to I can squeeze a buck til it screams.

Don’t worry about gaining weight because you’ll probably have to walk to the store since gas is so high.

In addition to empty store shelves...I’m noticing that retailers are charging prices at the register that are a lot more than those listed on the shelves. Inflation is pushing up prices faster than store employees (the few they have) can update them.

What a total, dysfunctional mess this country is in.

“We’ve made plans for some serious vegetable gardening this year.”

We slacked off over the last few years but this year is going to be a large garden for our family.

From what I’ve seen in my local Walmart is perplexing. During the runup to Christmas, they had those huge prime rib stacks that cost a bundle that used to go very quickly. Even after Christmas most of them were still there....then disappeared one day, presumably sold off to some resupplier.

Today, they have a fantastic supply of beef for sale - all of it at huge increases except for hamburger which is higher but manageable. Even the Tyson’s Slow Cooker packages of beef, vegetables, etc. that used to cost $12 are now $21 and change.

I went from red meat to pork and poultry a while back and now there are shortages of both, and prices for both are significantly higher. Loins and chops seemed near double and the chicken (all piece parts) is a lot higher, too. The only deals look like prepackaged vacuum sealed seasoned loins and whole chickens. I actually got a one pound pulled pork package from Jack Daniels cheaper than the raw meat yesterday. Don’t know how long the long storage stuff will hold out or what will happen after that. I suppose that it’s time to stock up on canned meats to beef up what stock I do have. It’s crazy..

This communist crap was taught to kids under Obama as well as teaching little boys to be other than men. This CRT is crap as
everyone has the same chance to excel or fail. Only punks like Obama and Biden plus the commies in our Gov. would sell out to communist countries plus lie and falsify our proud history until the left lied about Obama being a citizen amd natural born.

I remember a cartoon in the KC Star that hung in the neighbor’s shop for years. Two men in suits on the move with one saying, “Nixon is not all bad, he does have us walking more.”

The left usually gets the name everything, even though their names are the opposite of what is really happening. We should all use the term bidinflation for what’s happening now. Maybe it should be spelled Bidenflation.

Don’t go to Amazon gir them. Triple the price of publix or Walmart. I rarely go to Walmart but when I do, I always grab jars.
