Prepper Ping - Regional shortages due to Supply Chain breakdown
Your observed regional shortages/information is requested as a precursor towards other shortages.
Your participation is requested.

(From the OP):" These notes above are all precursors that show significant stress in the supply chain.
Once these issues are consistently visible, we are continue toward food instability very quickly, sector by sector, category by category.

"The reason I list the shortage of potatoes as the #1 precursor is because every food outlet sells a potato in some form.
Every supermarket and every single restaurant (fancy, sit down or fast food) sells some form of potato.
Potatoes are demanded by every single food outlet"

Hi.

I noticed two other threads about shortages, and the posters were in different parts of the country.

So, not directly related to this thread, I thought I’d mention it. Cat food.

Wet and dry cat food. Isnt that odd? Bear shelves.

Not only in the NE or Washington state, but right here in Pinellas county Florida.

Never had that issue before.

Our local WM had plenty of canning supplies, including lids.

This is a good time to stock up when most people are not thinking about canning.

If anyone is planning to grow potatoes remember you need at least three plots so you can rotate and five is better. Plant your nightshade plants(tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant) together and rotate them together. Fungus is your enemy rotation will keep it down when fungicides are not available.

A small plot of potatoes provides more calories and nutrition then just about any other plant.

And if you plant your potatoes by themselves it does not look a lot like a garden. Just a bunch of weeds.
