The problem isn't the fact that there is a food shortage,
it's mostly that there is limited ability to adjust from commercial and restaurant industry to consumer packaging.
I enjoy having eggs; but I don't have any idea what to do with 30 dozen eggs all at one time.
The supply chain finds it difficult to make sudden adjustment to convenient packaging and transport for the consumer.

Realize too that besides diary dumping milk, there have been vegetable farmers plowing under crops,
meat processing plants are closing due to coronovavirus infection among workers, etc., etc.
The entire food supply chain is there and remains intact;
there should not be food shortages according to the media.
The main issue is getting the crop transported to the consumer in convenient packaging .

You share those 30 dozen eggs with just 2 neighbors. That’s 10 dozen each. Raw eggs have a long shelf life in the fridge past the expiration date. Put 4 dozen in the fridge and 6 dozen in the freezer. Those in the freezer can be stored as scrambled for baking or frozen in ice cube trays as whole eggs for your sunny side up breakfasts.

Or pickle them.

Focus on eating down your fridge foods first. Then the freezer. Last, the pantry foods which don’t need electricity.

CSA is a good thing to be a member off about now. We’ve got three hens so as long as I can but feed for them, we’re good on eggs. I’m planting a good sized garden this year. Just finished up 12 acres of fence for meat goats. Terrain is too rough and 12 acres isn’t really big enough for cattle. Picked up a couple of does the other day. $400 each, I hope we don’t have to eat them LOL. Need to get a buck and we’ll get 3-4 kids next year. Does from them can be bred back to the buck. Got kiko does because they’re low maintenance and I’m getting a 75% boer - 25% kiko buck to put on top of them. Should help add weight gain to kids. Eventually, the goat operation will be a small stream income for us but we have eaten goat before. Not much different than venison.

Grandma has wanted me to buy Healthy Request Cambell’s soup, but the shelf has been empty the last two weeks on my weekly shopping trip. I wonder if it is the small cans that are not available at the plant?

it sounds like food shortages are coming sooner rather than later....that the hysteria has set the table and the table will be bare if no seeds are planted, no feed for cows or chickens, etc....

we owe so much to our forward thinking pandemic bros....NOT!
