I grew up so poor we gleaned fields for veggies. We would start out the week with stew and every day we just added water and veggies. I can stretch a dollar like nobody else. I have a nice big yard and can grow what I need. I have a couple of old depression era cookbooks, a casserole can last a long time.
It’s not just foodstuffs. Corn is the feedstock for many industrial products, too, especially gasohol.
Food shortage PING
After these truckers not moving product in and out of Canada SND SOON the US Trudeau and Biden plus Butt boy ain’t seen nothing yet!! EVERYONE here if you think you are going to need ANYTHING over the next 60 days you better stock up NOW!!
Maybe it’s geologist thing but I also have 200+ lbs of game meat in my 20 cubic foot deep freezer one of two at that size. We also have most of a side of beef so much so my dog just had a 16 oz tbone all to herself for being a good pupper she gets steaks once or twice a month of varying species. She will tear into a venison like a wolf does a fawn , she likes fish and seafood as well she will destroy some shrimp or crab which is weird for a dog to like im told. I’m getting a pair of Dexter cattle this spring they are a Irish mini breed and only need ten acres or so for a pair to be self sufficient with some added range cubes and hay bailed in the winter. I still have three deer tags left wife has three as well out of our ten between the two of us we filled the freezer with the four we shot in November. We had to give some away as our inside freezers were full of food already. I dont worry about power grids my house can go off grid with the flip of a 300 amp main breaker my panels will carry the load of all 7 fridges and freezers just fine they proved their worth last feb. We were the only ones in my rural area with lights on and heat.
We’ve been stocking the freezer and the pantry for some time now. I’ve had a bad feeling about a ‘perfect storm’ impacting food prices and availability.
I was born in ‘65. We grew up mocking the Soviet Union for their police-state, corrupt politics, inability to produce consumer goods, their lying/propaganda Pravda, price controls, their lack of freedom to worship.... Now Russia is more free than we are in the USA.
Crazy clown world.
I think the meant UAN solutions, such as 28% and 32% liquid nitrogen, are made up of different forms of nitrogen. 28% liquid nitrogen is 50% Urea, 25% Ammonium and 25% nitrate.
The folks that are going to have REAL PROBLEMS are families with teenagers in the household if you have 2 or 3 teenagers in the household it is impossible to stock up on things!! Those families and THOSE WOMEN VOTERS are going to be pissed!! THOSE WOMEN who just hated those mean tweets are going to be BEGGING to only have to deal with a few mean tweets!!
The ad is typical government propaganda.
They put in an image of an androgynous “person” of medium color so as to not offend anyone and so that anyone can identify with them.
Except people like me.
Prepper ping.
I was born and raised on a farm. My wife and I live on a small farm though we don’t farm it.
A neighbor grows corn on our back fields and pays us small percentage. We are just glad the land is being used
Went to the store yesterday. Most of the shelves were stacked, but there was no chicken in the meat department. Usually there is fried chicken and rotisserie chicken in the deli, but there was a sign up saying they are not selling chicken on Sunday and Monday due to the shortage.
I’ll just take the local democrat households supplies at gunpoint.

It’s creepy, isn’t it?
Even the Soviet propaganda didn’t have that weird racial angle to it. And their men always looked like men and their women always looked like women.
......”I saw this coming for months”......
Well that’s the thing about farmers. The smart ones watch what’s happening in the world not just about crops....
Which raised the questionI had as I read the article... that wouldn’t farmers have an idea certain elements in the world affect their plans and therefore they generally prepare or change accordingly.....You answered that.
More fear mongering! Yea, I couldn’t find any turkey pastrami tonight! Oh, the pain!
I’ll bet I got more damned deer than you got squirrels; I currently just use them for dog food!
Don’t care for venison personally (to stringy), but the dogs seem to love it.
