consider who could want global instability.
if you can do that, then wonder why.
We can help. Just get rid of ethanol.
What about the Wheat Harvest
There’s no way that Ukraine’s crop yield this year will be reduced by 50%. The rural areas are largely unaffected (at least not directly affected) by the actual fighting and destruction. Cost (and availability?) of fertilizer may impact the crop production somewhat but as long as the farmers have the diesel they need they should get their crops in and harvested. Just IMHO based on limited knowledge.
Now if substantial numbers of farmers and their workers left as refugees then all bets are off.
Gonna be lower this year too, as farmers switch to soybeans where they can because of sky high fertilizer costs
Which will drive bean prices down along with higher mandated ethanol price with the higher corn prices
Its a shame we use our corn to fuel our cars
They are entering the raputitsa, the time of mud. I imagine they have a few more paved roads these days than in the early 1940s...
Perhaps urban America should stop focusing on their Eastern European foreign buddies and take responsibility for the economic warfare they’ve been waging on rural counties in the United States.
Russia, China, and Persia aren’t responsible for the anti agricultural and anti industrial policies that took hold of America since the 1960’s.
Nope, “home grown” ideologues and the financial interests that benefit and back them are the culprits.
Every time we try to use the vast natural resources of the United States, the American establishment and urban/suburban voters say:
No
No
No
No
No
No
No
They’re anti American obstructionists.
could, would, might,….
It’s all speculation to keep the fear porn going.
Yes, I could see difficulty in planting and harvesting should the conflict continue into spring and summer, but we’re not there yet and I don’t see the point in hyperventilating over hypotheticals.
I suppose unless your goal it to turn people into preppers. And I doubt that’s their intent.
More reason to RESIST the plan of Globalism.
Close our southern border. Make everything we need for OURSELVES FIRST HERE - sell the excess to others.
But, no one ever listens to me. ;)
