At this point, only God can prevent massive food shortages from hitting the United States in the near future. We knew things were bad when even Joe Biden’s handlers instructed him to warn the world last month that we would all be experiencing food shortages soon. Now, it seems to be a foregone conclusion.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but we’re in the middle of a perfect storm of events that will lead to even higher prices and extreme food scarcity. The stage was set by Pandemic Panic Theater. The Ukraine-Russia war made things much worse as fertilizer and grain exports from the region have dried up. Add in the bird flu, the Biden regime’s destructive economic policies, supply chain issues that existed long before the Russian invasion, drought across farmland on the west coast, and fewer workers engaged in producing food in America and all of a sudden it seems as if widespread food shortages could come as soon as later this year.
On the latest episode of The Midnight Sentinel with JD Rucker, I dove into this notion as both a warning as well as a call to action. In nearly every situation, I call on people to work together to fix the problems we face. Protests, pressuring politicians for legislation, lawsuits, and even civil disobedience when appropriate are all in our Fix-This-Nation Toolbox. Unfortunately, nothing in our toolbox can fix the economic turmoil we’re facing. We can make improvements, but these will be incremental and futile.
Think of it like using a fire extinguisher. With nearly every problem our nation faces at any given moment, we can treat it like a small fire on our stove. All we need to do is get a political fire extinguisher...

I stopped at NOQ report.
That kind of says it all as a source.
Democratic Party’s massive food shortages to put you little people in your place
If you’d been paying attention, you would know that due to high prices/low availability of nitrogen fertilizer, there’s a lot less corn being planted this year and more soybeans.
And corn is used in darned-near everything.

Just keep believing what TV tells you to believe.
It will serve you well.
So, here is a model for you:
The relevant price increases have already started.
Spot outages of some food items have been occurring and are getting more frequent every week. (Where are the boxes of Saltine Crackers?") They usually clear in a few days. So far, so good.
Serious problems will become visible by July and August. That means a doubling of prices for staples and a marked reduction in the variety of goods available. Those "holes in the shelves" will not clear within the month.
Critical problems will become visible by November and December. This will include yet another doubling of prices for some food items, and extended absence of some items at any price.
An earlier posters' comment about "food riots in January" is a pretty good estimate, in my opinion, of the likely path. Things get worse from there.
Well, I guess I needed to lose a few pounds anyway.
“..Next year, the vermin may be the two-legged variety...”
I’ve had a problem keeping critters out of there for years, but I discovered that they don’t care much for high-speed lead injections, and it don’t take much. I suspect that same would work quite well on the the two-legged variety of vermin just too, although I haven’t tested it...at least, not yet.
At cleanup time, we just load em up in the tractor’s bucket and had on down to the banks of the local sunny bayou. When the gators down there hear the tractor coming that way, they all line up on the bank where the vermin get dumped out. They know “lunch” is on the way, and it don’t take em long to chow down. Whatever’s left, the turtles seem to take care of. Nature is so amazing. :)
So far, dementia Joe has brought in:
Pestilence (Covid 19)
War (Ukraine/Russia)
Massive immigration and Inflation
Now working on Famine
Well, maybe America should get back to basics and stop harvesting corn for cars and switch to corn for people. Open up refining and produce natural gas which is vital in producing nitrogen based fertilizer for crops. Resolve Biden’s supply chain fuster-cluck.
Concur.
Was there a, “Buy Gold Now” link in the article?
Well...the world only has a 90 day supply of food at any given point in time.
Grocery store outages already
Those of us who check ‘dates’ on products have noticed the best buy dates are shorter. Stores reaching deep into their backstock. That makes me worry, no one is saying how close we are to real extreme shortages.
China supply chain issues...
UK goverment just got caught lying about their ‘task force.’
No rain for California rice growers.
Corn farmers are not planting corn this year, they’re planting soy because of costs.
Supply trains companies cutting back on shipping fertilizers.
alarmism...yep. If you are not seeing the signs flashing red at you by now, well, do not go knocking on a prepper’s door tomorrow.
Common sense is racist.
In a sane and just world, by the time this era of pain and hardship has completely run its course, no liberal or Leftist Democratic Party politician woujld be elected to any position at any level, federal, state, or local, for at least a generation. 30 years or more. After what they did to this nation and continue to do to this nation, sanity woujld require that voters do not elect a single liberal or Leftist politician.
Knowing that liberals are emotionally driven with no regard to logic, this won’t happen. But it should.
Corn has low yields without nitrogen fertilizer and the price is up astronomically because there is a shortage. That silly old supply-and-demand thing.
Soybeans actually add nitrogen to the soil, so you don't need nitrogen fertilizer.
How many years have you been growing corn?
You seem to know everything about it.

I think you should mortgage your house and invest in all the corn futures you can get your hands on.
