The question isn’t whether we run out of food or miss a meal. The question is how much will it cost and that’s the thrust of the article. Prices will be going up dramatically according to the author.
“Prices will be going up dramatically according to the author.”
Well, yes. They might when the entire economy goes to h3ll, which is the end game of 0bama and crew. If it’s a true Depression again, we’re all screwed, and while my gold will be through the roof, if there’s no food available, that’s not going to do me any good, is it?
However, while some City Folk WILL be having a devil of a time with that, I’m eternally grateful that I married into a Farm Family.
It’s amazing how long you can survive on gleanings from a field, a few boiled potatoes and whatever meat you shot that day. But then, I’m the Eternal Optimist. :)
People ARE freaking out. You wouldn’t believe the number of seed packets and veggie and herb plants I’ve sold this season at the garden center! Everyone and their brother is either learning how to garden for the first time, or greatly expanding their gardens this season. Cha-ching! :)
But our family? Nope. Dad’s planting the same 200 acres in corn and soybean again this year. The 700 acres around us are plowed and ready to be planted with Sweet Corn.
That’s my anecdotal evidence from where I sit. I’ve seen farms and farmers around here in much worse shape and in panic mode in the past; not currently. And the WEATHER is cooperating for once. No floods this Spring, as we’ve had for the past three.
