US food shortages?

I expect high prices but shortages?

I called Costco today about the rumours of limits on the amount of dry dog food that could be bought at one time. I was told that there is a one bag limit on one brand (only) of dog food and that all others are well stocked and you can buy all you want.

Well, if there are no food shortages, they will make sure there are some!

Biden upped the ethanol going into gas up to 15%. I believe his speech on the subject was today.

‘Shortages’ have been in play for quite awhile.
If anything, this will compound or exacerbate such.

Food shortages with increasing inflation is not good moving forward and especially is not good for any political party in power.

so let me get this straight here from what I recall seeing around here.

Puppet says in January there will be shortages.

22 processing plants in the us, involved in various stages of the farm to table supply chain have been damaged.

Floods in Dakotas, Bad orange crops in Florida. Egg shortages due to a bird flu.

What else did I miss?

In other news, global warming is creating a drought that will kill crops and may cause food shortages.

I just moved up to Wyoming near Sundance and it’s been cold and has snowed quite a bit. The weather is psychotic but the people are not lefty loons.

Remember the Red River Flood in Grand Forks, ND 25 years ago? Not only was Grand Forks flooded - it was on FIRE at the same time! Quite the feat.

I don’t remember starving 25 years ago...

Its down hill to the north for the Red River (which is a very small percentage of the Dakotas). The flooding generally comes from the spring snow melt. If there is snow, it tends to melt first in the south and gets dammed up with the snow and ice farther north. This seems to happen often, but not every year.

This year there was late snow made it to wet and cold to plant the spring crops elsewhere (other than the flooded river bottoms).

I re ember seeing g photos of one of the Dakotas with snow piled up as high as the power lines, almost to the top of the poles. Course that was an exceptional year, and most likely a resu,t of high winds and drifting too. But they do tend to get plasterd with snow there. Watching the Alaska gold rush show, “Dakota Fred “ had to go home because flooding was so bad that his house got flooded out, and his wife was there contending with it.

The brand of dry dog food our pup eats has gone up 40% in price since the first of the year.

Yeah but with the Ukraine crop estimated to be 20% lower we are doomed. REEEEEE!
