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.

With fertilizer (especially nitrogen ) not available , that’s what will hurt

This would probably be a good year to have a larger home garden, or start one if not done before. I remember 1943 the day I came home from kindergarten and found my father out in the yard with a man and a horse plowing up the big side yard on the east, the small front yard on the south, and the medium yard on the west. After the first 2 years he stopped using the west yard as potatoes were no longer in short supply. A year or two after that he stopped using the front yard for corn. But we kept the big yard in 40 or 50 kinds and varieties of plants until 1953 when we moved. We preserved for winter and produced about 1/4th our food. This was 2 miles from New York City. We called them “Victory Gardens”, perhaps these would be “Help Ukraine Gardens”. If we had a surplus my father would let me sell vegetables to the neighbors and keep the money. I worked every planting season in the garden on weekends.
