Because most people don’t know a farmer personally anymore, everyone should realize that they don’t make piles of money producing our food. A good year can be followed by three bad ones, and 2022 has been a burden. Between record heat waves in the U.S. and abroad, droughts in the middle of the country, fertilizer shortages, and rising costs for just about every farm input, many American farms are on the brink. Everyone will feel the pinch in continued food price increases and shortages at the store.
As bad as the agricultural outlook is in America, it is far worse in Europe. The dedication to a green energy suicide pact

The stupidest people seem to be in charge. Why is that? Many politicians say the right things when campaigning but once in office stupidity takes hold. Boris Johnson is a perfect example. Angela Merkel is another. Biden? At least he can cite alzheimers as an excuse.

It's not only farmers that produce our food, so does industry. Produce may require minimal processing, but almost everything else we eat has been butchered, cooked, spiced, and packaged in a factory. With government mandates pricing and regulating costs out of sight, there's problems there too.

Why not charge the public $5 to come in on foot, and take as much as they can carry?
Even in Bible times the fields couldn't be harvested 100%, so the poor were invited in to glean.
Why let it all go to waste?

Worldwide the need for more electricity is growing, and the ability to supply more electricity is decreasing. Politicians are ignoring this truth. More power plants are needed. Renewable energy cannot begin to supply the necessary additional electricity. It's going to take years before the needed additional reliable electricity will exceed the increasing demands. This is going to affect the supply of food, and will sooner than later, affect production of all goods and services. Most necessities will need to be rationed, including with regard to medicines and other medical care. Politicians will dictate the priorities of limited resources and thereby will - as now - determine the winners and the losers. All of this could have been prevented if politicians had made rational decisions regarding production of energy. Experts regarding energy production are not blameless as they have been far too quiet - probably because of fear of being attacked due to political correctness and cancel culture.

And yet in the USA tens of billions of tax dollars are given to the agricultural industries (and I guess a few farmers and ranchers) every year for what exactly?

I started prepping this past January. When FJB said we would have shortages in March I upped the ante and have been super prepping since then. I pay attention, I know what shortages are coming and I am preparing. And not only food stuffs. And now that one town in Holland is banning meat advertisements because meat is evil? We are up against wicked people who will literally live high on the hog while we are sitting in a cold, dark space eating bugs. Watch your back America because they don't care about you. This all started with the demonization of fossil energy. Energy makes the world go around. ALL energy.

The government ruling elites are creating this crisis. We are having record yields per acre this season but at the elevators railroad cars sit on the sidings full--from last season. All interference in transportation, fertilizer and next will be seed. You watch.

“ The “Inflation Reduction Act” puts farmers under the control of the EPA to govern nitrogen emissions. Additionally, it allocates $20 billion to fund “climate-smart agricultural practices.” News from Europe helps us to predict how bureaucrats will use this money. Regulators will spend it reducing meat production further, especially beef, and lowering food output by restricting fertilizer and energy from fossil fuels.”
Biden and his Dems in Congress just authorized $400 BILLION for solving the faux climate crisis, meaning enormous contracts with Democrat contributors to build more windmills and solar panel systems. With most of the material for this madness bought from China. Which means that Joe and Hunter Biden will continue to enrich themselves from their “investments” in China. Meanwhile, many Americans will struggle to with choice of buying food or heating their homes. This madness is why Biden is viciously attacking Trump in order to hide Joe’s corruption, his gross incompetence and stunni; delusions

It is intentional. Wreck America by any means necessary. What will Lame Duck Joe do? Nada. Remember the Baby Formula shortage, it still exists. Every time you go to the Grocery, buy extra. Be prepared. Arm yourself. Starving mobs will not respect your belongings.

This will hit major cities the worst and if it gets bad enough you can bet the urbanites are not going to sit there and starve, they will naturally head into the suburban, and rural areas to get what they want and do so by any means necessary. Many of whom are already accustom to that way of thinking while our justice system has intentionally allowed it, almost as if is a training program .
Many believe the food shortage is orchestrated. that this is exactly what the elites want to happen and sure seems that way. As a precaution I would prep not only to have food for your family but also to defend it, at least that is what I have done.

Stalin realized that he couldn't just kill the kulaks of eastern Ukraine in the 1930s because they resisted his Communist collective farming plans. So, he sent in troops in the fall to confiscate ALL the grain that they had grown and harvested. That winter many of them starved to death, according to Stalin's plan. I think this went on for several winters, but not certain. But, even this wasn't working fast enough so many were loaded onto boxcars on the Trans Siberian RR and taken far out into uninhabited taiga forest in the late fall and offloaded by the tracks to be killed by the wilderness in winter. That killed almost all of them, apparently.
And during this time, NYT sent a reporter to check on rumors of a great genocide in Ukraine. He reported in many articles that this was all a lie, and the grand and glorious Soviet Union was a wonderful place for everyone, food was plentiful and all was well. And NYT got a Pulitzer Prize for that reporting series. The NYT has been a Communist propaganda outlet for at least 90 years.
And those depopulated regions of eastern Ukraine were repopulated by properly subservient Russian peasants who still live there and are assisting the Russians in taking the rest of Ukraine, 90 years later.
And food shortages seems to be what the globalists have selected to repeat the 'Stalin treatment' on a global scale. WEF has decided, billions must die, and they have set things in motion.

The USA will be in the best shape of any place, and if there are problems, it will be in the biggest cities.
India has become self-sufficient in food over the last 50 years, and may even be able to export wheat to other parts of the world. I wonder about their dependence on fertilizers, which are now in short supply, and have tripled or quadrupled in price in the USA. I don't know about fertilizer prices in India, but likely the
same as here. Does India produce fertilizer or buy it? If they buy it from other countries, that may cut their ability to produce in the coming seasons.
Smaller towns in the USA, nearer food supplies, and with just lower population densities will be in much better shape than the big US cities, or much of the rest of the world. Argentina has excellent agricultural lands, but is hampered by a dysfunctional government, and again....what about fertilizer? Does Argentina have domestic supplies? Or will their output drop dramatically due to worldwide fertilizer shortages?
We'll probably be reading about actual starvation in Africa, and mere shortages and privation in Europe, I imagine.
And the WEF is trying to shut down Danish farmers with laws limiting their animals and agriculture, I wonder how that will sell to people when the food starts disappearing from the grocery stores?
Will people literally choose to starve for "green" purposes, or will hunger and high prices for food make them prioritize production, and start ignoring the "bad stuff will happen in the future" for a meal this year.?

2nd post to say that even if Trump or DeSantis is able to overcome massive Democrat election fraud in 2024, they won’t be able to stop much of this anti-farm, anti-fossil fuel madness until the summer of 2025. This assumes that Repubs regain House in 2022 in order to hopefully slash Biden’s massive spending with a budget that begins in October 2023. So time is not in our favor, assuming that Repubs can actually regain Congress and White House. And assuming that Repubs are actually opposed to the Green New Deal and against illegal immigration.
And even Repub attempts to restore sanity and our way of life will be met with federal lawsuits by enviro leftists and Democrats governors, which will tie up proposed deregulation for 2 to 3 more years.

Destroy agriculture over "nitrogen emissions"??? Um, earth's atmosphere is something like 78% nitrogen IIRC. So now 78% of our atmosphere is considered a pollutant? That's worse than calling 50% of US citizens enemies of the state.

I agree with others who urge prepping, I put NOTHING past these people. We live in the upper Midwest, so the winters present additional challenges. We live in a small rural community where everybody has a propane tank--but we don't have much land, less than an acre. We bought a stand-by generator during the Obama years which is now EMP proof. We added garden areas this year, built a chicken coop (getting almost a dozen eggs a day!) and are building hutches for meat rabbits. We have a wood burning stove for heat and another one with an oven plus tons of firewood. I also purchased an emergency manual well pump incase there is no electricity to be had. I have built a very adequate emergency food supply as well as medical type supplies and stocked up on essential supplements. Sometimes it makes me angry that I have to do all this, but then again, I don't think we ever should have relinquished our self sufficiency. I grew up on an acreage in the middle of Iowa, we had livestock and a large garden. We would have survived back then without changing a thing.

I drove I70 East out of Denver to Wichita Kansas 2 weeks ago. Irrigated crops looked very good. Dry land farming didn’t make a crop. Saw lots of corn, maize, winter wheat. Lots of sheep & cattle as well. Listened to the local farm & Ag station. They project smaller crop per acre production but not off the charts. Our family preps. Covid was a valuable lesson. Gold, silver, & brass is essential. Freeze dried & canned food, a must. Clean water supply is essential. I see the problem starting in poor countries. Europe elected officials are morons, Germany heading the list. Trump cautioned Germany but the advice fell on deaf ears. Those folks need wood burning stoves and a lot of firewood. When a man can’t feed his family, look out for the grizzly bear inside.

Get your hands on emergency food buckets, dried fruits, and canned meats asap. It's always better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
By about December, shortages will begin happening as this year's crops are harvested, processed, and brought to market. I just hope our South American farmers can cover for us to some extent. If you have a rancher in your family, take care of them so they can take care of you.

These words say it all. What an incredibly stupid idea.
At the same time environmental wackos are trying to halt fossil fuels in their stupid attempt to change climate, they are buying products from the world's largest polluters because those polluters pay slave wages.

Re #32. Sounds great. Take care to keep your rabbits from inbreeding. A friend started breeding rabbits many years ago for cheap meat. Within about 18 months he had hairless rabbits and lots of stillborn.
Need to keep them from inbreeding by separating the bucks and does and keeping track, at least reasonably well, of who is who's father and mother, etc.
I think the young males were breeding their sisters and mothers, and quickly made a genetic mess of things.
