"Not that I believe the doom and gloom of that article, but agriculture is very dependent on electronics, and it’s not only possible, but very likely that the cows won’t be milked,watered, or fed without a herculean effort on the part of the farmer, and even then many will die."

The harvest is in progress right now where most of the cattle are, with the grains going to the silos for safekeeping. All of the hay for the cold season is rolled up and covered, too.

There will be plenty of food for the whole country. But there won't be an EMP strike without the real nuclear weapons raining down by the hundreds right behind it. Many of the herds of cattle will be far enough away from areas of dangerous levels of fallout. The cattle ready for markets will be tested before going to processing.

So there will be plenty of food, but there won't be many people.

All of the harvesting equipment is dependent on electronics, except for the very old stuff.

That said, this is all overblown
