Dire food situation possible near term

Some sort of a dire food situation by June/July is possible if not even likely

The idea is to have a year's worth of basic food (rice, wheat... etc) around, be able to go for a year without grocery stores...

We will know things are ready to tip when farmers start flooding the markets with meat again. That will indicate they do not have or cannot afford to feed their livestock.

Slight hitch in using that as an indicator: Most meat-processing facilities are so backed up, farmers are having to reserve a spot 2 years in advance (on average). That means that when they do start thinning their herds, the majority of the meat won't be going to market. It's more likely you'll see reports of farmers using a backhoe to bury the carcasses, because they can't feed them and they can't legally sell the meat.

But before and during that period, you'll see a sudden flood of cheap livestock listed in places like craigslist. There's always some listed, especially this time of year, but it will increase by several orders of magnitude.

Some sort of food situation??

LOL...where have you been, FRiend?

This has been posted, numerous times, on multiple threads, right here....for MONTHS!

The time to prepare (or, to top off preps), was the day after Xiden was selected.

Control, compliance.....smaller numbers of ‘insurrectionists’, etc.

Imagine, if you will ...

Tucker just interviewed a vertically integrated farmer from S FL who says that by the last quarter of this year, we’re going to see food prices skyrocket.

https://www.bitchute.com/video/kpWTBT1LzWtq/

He normally farms 3,200 acres but is cutting down to 1,000 acres this year. He says many farmers are doing this either to minimize their losses or simply because they can’t afford the fertilizer, seed and fuel costs to farm 100% of their land.

This guy farms, has distribution trucks and has a store where he also sells other farmers’ products so he knows every part of the AG business, growing, wholesale, distribution, marketing & retail. He grows under plastic and bought this year’s plastic mulch last year. He paid $80/roll and the price now is $280. Wooden tomato stakes have also increased by 300% and he didn’t buy those ahead of time.

Many of the big ag type soy/corn farmers are going with soybeans this year due to the higher cost of fertilizing corn. Meanwhile slo Joe wants to use ethanol all summer.

As slow as mine are growing, they may look like that.

All part of Their Plan™ ... all of this could be EASILY fixed, but....no...Joeflation has to keep sending $$$$$ to Ukraine, setting up Big Brother to watch the plebs, here, etc, etc.

We’re blessed with plenty of grass and hay, for our cows, this year....but...without fertilizer, etc, who knows what the following year/s will look like, for grass/cows/etc.

In which case we need to pray that God would grant is favorable conditions for a good harvest by those of us who re growing our own food.

Actually, an ideal growing season would rob the left of any excuses for a food shortage they caused. They wouldn’t be able to effectively blame shift. I’m sure they’d try, but it would be easy to counter their claims.

You know what I see when I see all those flying Carp?? (Besides the danger of getting impaled by a dorsal fin or being knocked out?)

I see free home grown fish meal fertilizer! If someone wants to take my idea and develop it commercially feel free to do it!

(People arguing about whether Squanto (Tisquanto) taught the Pilgrims to use fish to fertilize maize.)

Thanks! :)

I see free pet food.

A friend-of-a-friend who lives in an area where cat food has been missing from the stores for a while, started fishing whenever he can and using his catch to keep his cats fed.

In my area, if you want a specific brand or flavor of pet food, you might not find it, but there’s usually *something*. But, just in case it gets worse, I bought a book on pet food recipes. My kitties are an essential part of my family’s pest-control system, so we want to keep them healthy if possible.

Ellendra, I saw a story about a woman in Alaska who had huskies. She caught and froze salmon and steelhead and used them to feed her team of dogs.

A good reason to encourage a flying carp fishery for agricultural fertilizer! (And if you want, pet food!)

https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/fishing/regulations/newregulations

I did not see a catch limit in these regs.....I hope they are not in any nearby river!

I do not think there is any limit! You do not need a rod and real, just a boat with a motor and a football helmet with a face visor!!

Good luck!

I've buried many asian carp in my victory garden over the years. Cut up into chunks they are excellent bait for catfish. Filleted out they are delicious - nice flaky white meat. They're a bit of a pain to butcher due to the bone structure, but it's not difficult once you get the hang of it.

Any kind of a real famine, and deer herds will be gone after the second week...

[blam]

My local farmer grows mostly corn, peanuts, cotton and soy. He only has about 30% of his land ready to plant. The other 70% is just sitting there...normally it would be planted or ready to plant.

He has all the huge John Deere tractors, combines,etc....he's a serious farmer.

It's his cotton fields that I see the Yankees standing out amoungst the cotton having their pictures taken. I always laugh at that sight.

Dave, when the deer run out there will still be walleye (Or flying carp provided you have fuel for your Johnson outboard! :)

[David Chase]

I live in a forest, my property borders one of Michigan’s largest State forest land.

We have rivers and lakes. Yes plenty of fish. No flying carp however.

Plus plenty of wild food growing. Blue Berries, raspberries, cherries, acorns, maple trees, etc.

The food will never run out here. A lot of planning went into this location and building our home.

All I need are fertile woman to re-populate the Earth.
I haven’t given my wife those plans yet. Plan X & Y. 😆🤣😂
I’m sure she’ll understand. 🙄
