Any guesses, at this rate, as to what it’ll be like in a year? Two years?
Well, they could just get into computer programming like the coal miners. That was the sound advice Biden gave to those clowns!
“There’s something we have to buy that two years ago cost us $24, last year was about $46, this year it is costing us $96.”
and because people like ADM and ConAgra buy such huge bulk they prolly don’t pay near that price...
In normally crop friendly Tennessee (Middle) June looks to be an above average heat/below average rainfall.
If this continues it will burn any crop above the ground if late June/early July rains don’t come.
Farm misery index is high enough.
I fertilized 72 acres of hay ground this year at the cost of $5500.

“farming isn’t Republican or Democratic..”
The Democrat Party disagrees.

Don’t they get paid not to plant?
Judging by the pics, I don’t think this farm feeds many more people than themselves; https://www.facebook.com/JHWeilnauFarm/photos
Farmer’s market sales and a few CSA members.
“...farming isn’t Republican or Democratic, it’s food, the land is neutral..this is the time the American people need to support the American farmer and put pressure on the Biden administration to put things in place to help farmers.”
Well, for STARTERS we could negate all of Brandon’s ‘energy policies.’ Not sure if anyone has noticed, but the price of OIL controls the price of EVERYTHING ELSE - world wide!
We’re so screwed. This isn’t funny, anymore. Dark days ahead. Literally and figuratively. :(
Maybe Johnny Cougar can write another song about farmers.
But he only does that when a Republican is in the White House.
Suggestions:
-Grow your own as much as possible.
-If you need machinery to plant/tend/harvest, look up how to run said machinery using alternatives such as woodgas, and make sure you have the parts ready to go.
-Have off-grid options for things like cooking, cooling, light, entertainment, etc.
-Learn who among your neighbors has useful skills and can be bartered with.
-Be ready to defend yourself from those who choose violence.
