How about we put more acreage into production? Or is that idea too difficult for our supposed leaders.
Farmers are already planning on letting fields go fallow because they can’t afford the fertilizer and additional costs to grow and harvest the crops.
Doesn’t matter how many acres you put into production if you can’t get fertilizer, herbicides and pesticides.
This has been building ever since we decided certain people’s livelihoods were “non-essential.”
Not so “non-essential” now, are they?
Gates and Blackrock and copy are buying up all the farmland they can get there hands on. Maybe they have orchestrated this fertilizer shortage by encouraging the war, and then slow walking aid gettingmto,the Ukraine, knowingmthat russia will withhold,fertilizer as punishment for sanctions, for the purpose of then growing on their lands and charging massive prices for,the food
Methinks they are modeling after Joseph In The Bible (except in an evil way) by preparing to control the majority of food stores and land on which t grow, for when the famine hits. Control the food, control the population. Have these folks stockpiled fertilizer in preparation?
Its also likely that all,the farmlands and ranches being bought up are so that ranchers won’t be able to keep raising beef. Gates and ilk are buying them all out, but what are they doing with the lands now?
no ethanol subsidy for eatin-corn.
So...we should plant more area into production.
How would that work? Fertilizer is fast going over 2000 dollars a ton, fuel is over 5 bucks a gallon-and that is for no tax fuel, and herbicide is virtually impossible to get.
In plain words, it cost more to plant and harvest, then transport to market than what will be realized in income.
How does that work? Please explain.
Maybe stop subsidizing the conversion of food into fuel and re-capitalize fracking to bring more gas and oil online.
