What do you mean no agriculture? An EMP attack will not kill one cow.
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.
No fertilizer production.
No transport of seed and fertilizer.
No distribution of insecticides and herbicides, or production of same.
No diesel fuel for plowing, planting, harvesting.
No electricity for milking (nearly all milk cows are milked with electric milking machines.
No electricity for processing harvests, storing them, distributing them.
If you have no electricity or communications, agriculture as practiced in the United States dies quickly. Many farms have enough supplies to operate for a month.
But we are talking a year here.
A complete plowing, planting, harvesting, storing, and distribution cycle.
Without power, how do the fuel stations on the interstate operate? How do the trains communicate with the communications infrastructure gone, destroyed by the EMP?
I am not saying that is probable or likely. I think we are tough and getting tougher under President Trump.
But *given* no grid or communications, the vast majority of agriculture stalls to a halt very, very quickly.
Just sayin

How do you suppose they will get the meat, corn, grain, etc to market if there is no electricity to pump gas or the electronics in vehicles is fried?
Are just trolling at this point?
Unless you live next to that cow, you are not going to eat that cow. There is no way to bring it to market. All modern vehicles possess non-hardened electronics for the timing of the engine. Those vehicles won't work post-EMP.
