" “Things for 2022 are interesting (and scary). Input costs for things like fertilizer, liquid nitrogen and seeds are like triple and quadruple the old prices.
It will not be profitable to plant this year. Let me repeat, the economics will NOT work."
"Our plan, is to drop about 700 acres of corn off and convert to soybeans (they use less fertilizer, and we also have chicken manure from that operation).
Guess what? We are not the only ones with those plans.
Already there is a shortage of soybean seeds, so we will see how that will work out.
"The way I see it, there will be a major grain shortage later in the year, especially with corn. I mean, we are small with that.
What about these people in the midwest who have like 10,000 acres of corn? This will not be good.”
"Corn for example, typically takes about 600 pounds of fertilizer per acre, plus 50 gallons of liquid nitrogen.
Times that by many acres and thats a lot of money.
Soybeans take much less.
" The plan for us, and most others around here, is to drastically cut corn acres and switch to soybeans.
Problem is, there is apparently a soybean seed shortage because others have this plan as well.
We were lucky enough to pre buy enough to do it.
However, most people, especially younger farmers, or farmers where that is all they do, probably don’t have the money to front like that."
Is this a planned famine as a result of mandated elimination of petroleum products by the regime ?
Unintended consequences, ..or Ivy League computer modeling into subsistence and population control ?
Nothing from the regime surprises me, anymore. Take note of how our grandparents survived during hard times, or how the British survived during WWII .
You can't hunt deer if there aren't any around to harvest; look at those who survived the Depression.
Read the entire article to gain a full understanding of the enormity of the farm situation and necessary fertilizers Your comments welcomed .
People will have to go back to eating real food.
The snacks and junk food could disappear from the shelves tomorrow and still no one would starve to death. They would complain mightily, but starve? No. Not yet.
Like during the Depression, songbirds are gonna be on the menu.
Remember what happened to the Kulacs.
Another Matt Bracken prediction coming true, I’m afraid.
And remember, call conspiracy theories for what they are: spoilers.
