Goya Foods CEO Bob Unanu appeared on Fox Business earlier today in order to give a bigger picture review of the current status of food production. Unanu does a good job outlining how the interconnected systems from field to fork impact consumers. The Goya CEO appropriately outlines what is happening and what the consequences are from Biden energy policy. It’s a good interview.
Unanu does not push food alarmism and accurately states the U.S. food production system will ensure that food is available for U.S. consumers to purchase, albeit at higher prices. The people most at risk from food insecurity are developing countries who rely on exports of food products generated by efficient, productive and exceptional farming operations in North America that feed the world.
For U.S. consumers it is the massive increases in energy and transportation costs that are driving up food prices, putting the issue of food insecurity into the correct context of food affordability. WATCH:
.
Consumers can offset the price impacts by shopping closer to the field, the origin of the food purchases needed. Shopping for fresh food products at farmers markets avoids feeling the impact of shipping and transportation costs, and it helps the local economy. If you are near areas with farm production in the United States consider the financial value of skipping the convenience of the supermarket in favor of shopping closer to the field.
In the field to fork food supply and distribution system, the closer you can get to the field for purchases the less costs you will encounter. Obviously, for many people this may not be possible. However, for others it might be time to evaluate the cost of convenience.
The wage earning democrat voter is going to be hit the hardest. But fear not, they will drop EBT cards from helicopters and give illegals a bigger gov check.
They’ll also likely increase the minimum wage…
They just did.
that is already in play , $30 hr was just mentioned by a Democrat
$15 hr is now slave wages.
Well, then, the minimum wage must be raised to $100 hr to get ahead of things.
Befor the end of the year $30 hr will be considered below slave wages.
Well gee… why not make it $1000 an hour? It’s just money…….. SIGH These maroons clearly don’t understand economics!
You are so wrong. They fully understand economics, they are purposely destroying America.
Correct! This destruction and every decision made has been planned for. Changing the demographics of our country.
Well, I prefer holding positive thoughts for my Country. That is why I pray. IMHO nothing good comes from negative thinking and negative vibes….well, I haven’t seen it anyway….but that’s just me. 😵💫
Prayer is always good, but I also try to recognize the dangers we are facing, so I can cope with them better and not be taken unaware.
Pray for the best, but prepare for the worst.
How about they raise our social security? The food stamp people got a 25% increase, what did we get?
Good thing I plan on working til I drop dead in my commercial kitchen as what they project my SS to be if i retire at 70 probably would not pay for groceries and utility’s in a single month now.
Have to sign up for every government program and swear to vote democrat multiple times in every election after I die./s
Good thing I plan on working till I drop in my domicile growing, raising, producing food-stuffs which, whilst alive, will be shared with those whom I deem worthy and appreciative of my labors … as I believe the money quotent will become but TP to be wiped with – not swiped for, SS or no.
And when my endtime comes, my hope is to be in my yard .. seeing my bees flitting and fro .. till ‘lights out’!
About a fifth of that, but you are unlikely to cause civil unrest.
SSA increased 5.7% for 2022
That’s almost 25 %
🤣
Only missed by 19.3%
I received an increase in my social security, but it was all eaten up by the increase in my Medicare, so no real benefit. One step forward and two steps back with the increase in gas, food and others.
If the min was a $1,000 an hour that would still be the bottom with zero change in individual prosperity. Basic economics.
That’s because $15 a few years ago is only worth $7 today. A $1 FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE is worth less then 5 cents in 1914 currency (i.e. SILVER CERTIFICATE, UNITED STATES NOTE). The current program to destroy food processing plants is designed to make food stocks even more scarce and unaffordable to the slaves whose daily wages will only give them a loaf of bread in the near future.
Blaming minimum wage increase desires is wrong headed ! It is the end result of a much bigger government and wealthy elitist Club Members maneuvers economically over the last 50 years . Destroy and dismantle the American industrial base and the wage earners who’s tax base supported government !
This was all done to enrich a minority in government and Billionaire Club members at the expense and demise of the American working class . All while piling debt to the stratosphere and destroying the buying power of the dollar now backed by nothing but a bankrupt citizenry . Meanwhile those in government employe are still made whole by more debt as they retire and private sector are left in the street taxed out of health & home to support the theft and those benefiting from it .
Fact : once a minimum wage job was an entry level or part time for a kid to gain experience and pay for higher education college or trade now blue collar people who would be manufacturing goods and services are up shits Creek while competing with a flood of illegals for minimum wage and many rightfully are telling employers to shove it
Far too many independent small businesses and family farms still exist.
Continued efforts to strain things with rising minimum wage, petroleum costs and supply chain problems should just about do all of them in.
You’ve apparently not seen what they are currently doing to family farms!!!
Most are folding…
The FDA just axed medical supplies, antibiotics, dewormers, etc.
Feed is 40%+
Hay can not be found.
If you are not self sufficient in your herd management and capable of providing off your land and your land alone, you’re in trouble!!! And very few are.
I hate them. Here in central CA, they are taking water from our farmers. Who feed the world. I also hate Kevin McCarthy, who “represents” us, hahahahaha
I moved to Idaho years ago, but still have a friend farming around Stockton, and he’s just about done. High fuel costs, unavailable repair parts and astronomical water prices with low allotments.
All of it is by design. Remember that Obama and his husband boasted about participating in American flag burnings. That same POS is likely in charge over dementia Joe in the white house.
That same POS is
likelyin charge……..Remember one of the first things Brandon did was increase the amount of the EBT card and vastly increased those eligible. At the time Sundance attributed it to farm subsidizing. With government subsidizing the consumer the farmer could charge more.
I wonder now if someone knew the effect of the green energy policy on food cost and got out in front with the bigger EBT cards.
Just a thought!
The ones provoking the crisis will not win that race regardless of welfare strategy. It gets out of control beyond a point. The collapse economies (/governments) we have seen in the past did not think it could happen to them. All of them would tried to stop it, and could not. What if it is intended? Then, collapse is assured. But what the elites think is that they will rule after that–bad assumption. Too many unintended consequences would have been unleashed by that time. They think they are God but will find out how pathetic a creature they’d have become.
Cloward Piven strategy is in full effect. Can’t build back better til the current system is destroyed. God help us!!
Their plans are DELUSIONAL, and they can not possibly succeed,..the only question is how much damage they do, as they fail.
It WILL be a “Great Reset”, but not at all the one they intend.
Very True…..God’s Children shall prevail…Patriot Gardens,Small Farms with Farm Share programs …Homeschooling and County by County We shall take back Our Nation.
Actually, those who are in the credit trap, or are on a fixed income (Social security) anyone living check to check, with NO discretionary $ in their budget, is going to be royally screwed.
LAST year, before inflation really got going, Social Security hada 5.9 percent COLA, but also raised medicare premiums by $35/mo.
I don’t see how it can be less than 10 percent after the inflation we will have seen in 2022.
That will put the lie to their attempts to minimise the PERCEPTION of how bad the inflation is.
I don’t believe they have EVER had a COLA increase of 5.9 percent previous to this year, let alone 10 percent.
So far as I know COLA and other similar adjustments are political statements. The one thing I think reflects the current economic situation is Per Diems, at least for the government (tend to be relatively current), because it benefits the ones doing the adjustment. If COLA were adjusted by those that benefit from it, the rates will be closer to the price of things.
What I see happening is non-demoncrats, non-retardicons, and everyone NOT of the elite Cloud WEFians & ‘friends’ (those sellout heads of Our beneficent. GOV + their needed sycophants) will be forced-feed a digicoin ….. where you, I, and our’s will not own it, and thusly be very, very unhappy!
So A.R. Robert’s, you’re partially right as to who is ultimately negatively affected..
Just add envy and perceived grievance into the mix for even greater social pyrotechnics.
What phun we will have /sc
“In the field to fork food supply and distribution system, the closer you can get to the field for purchases the less costs you will encounter.”
This is one of the few good things true about California. We have access to a plethora of fresh fruits and vegetables. And the weather on the Central Coast is perfect for home gardening year round. That said, I still prefer my time in Texas Hill Country and can’t wait to get back there.
If you thought people were over the top agitated with scarce supplies of Charmin, wait til real food shortages hit along with highly inflated prices. Inner cities will look back on the BLM riots as the good old days.LET’S GO BRANDON!!!
I live within a 100-mile radius of the nation’s largest farming supply of fruits, nuts and vegetables. I don’t know of one farmer cutting back planting one less acre than past seasons. The number one concern is irrigation water.
We are in a severe draught Joe Biden or no Joe Biden. Donald Trump or no Donald Trump. However, Trump would enact measures for better and more efficient water diversions. Trump would not make non-native smelt fish number one irrigation water priority over farming.
Farmers shop in grocery stores just like everyone else. I don’t know of one farmer who has a garden. None think there will be a food shortage. All think the price will be high because of Biden’s economic policies and not because of food production shortages.
Good to hear. Thanks for sharing the perspective. For a moment I thought your post was going in the direction of levity with the fruits, nuts and vegetables.
Yeah, being a Californian I have heard all the remarks. “Prune pickers” being a nicer one. However, there are enough X-rated ones that go around. Lol
California is Granolaville; if it aon’t fruits or flakes, its nuts?
Fang, we must be within 50-75 miles of one another (Monterey County). We have a farmers market around here almost every day of the week and there are fruit/vegetable stands up Hwy 1. Gloriously productive area to live in, but the cost of almost everything has caused me to increase labor rates to my guys as well what I charge. If I could do so without losing customers, I’d label it “The Brandon Surcharge”.
I live in Florida. One of my companies sells coffee throughout southwest Florida at Farmers Markets. We’ve had two price increases in the last year and given our employees two raises. Plenty of everything at Farmers Markets, just getting spendy.
I used to sell to farmer markets and small local grocery stores in your area.
Interesting point about farmers not having a garden.
I live in a rural farming area and you are so right about the farmers all shopping in grocery stores, not having their own gardens and never shopping at Framers Markets.
Most farmers here are just too busy in the spring to even think about putting in a small kitchen garden.
They are far too busy working from sun up to sun down in the big fields to think about a small tiny yard garden.
Most of their wives either have a job in town or are busy helping some how in the field to mosy about in a tiny yard garden when they have hundreds of acres of field work to look after.
In all of our years of farming I have tried to have a home garden just twice and have never had the time to work it and it just went to weeds.
Spring, summer and fall are our busiest and we do not have the time, sadly, to garden.
Like you say, we will have the food but the price will be high.
Plumbers have leaky pipes, roofers leaky roofs, lol.
I’M the plumber AND the roofer … and the older I become.. the leakier I get!
‘;[
of stamina – just to be clear.
You’re more than welcome here in Texas, but save up your money if you plan to move into the Hill Country! They’ve experienced California level home price inflation over the past few years. Homes that sold for under $200k a few years back is now selling for $700k+!
For over a year I have lived part time in Dripping Springs. I actually have spent more time there than at my home in Santa Barbara County. You are spot on. It will be interesting to see what rising interest rates do to prices, but I imagine homes will remain expensive in desirable areas. Rent will certainly increase.
Dripping Springs…just a shout away from Wimberly. I played music at the Cypress Creek Cafe many years before it burned down.
Love Central Texas. I was just down on the Frio River in Leakey last month.
Kerrville is still affordable but going up.
Heck, our Ozarks mountain cabin went up 75k in two years after housing costs staying flat here for 15 years.
our Ozarks mountain cabin went up 75k in two years
Some of the reality sites (Zillow, et al) have home price estimators where they share the increase or decrease in the value of your home. The past two months they sent messages stating they estimate the value of our home increased $35K and $40K respectively, $75K in two months.
I tend to look at that through a different lens. Our home value did not increase by $75K but, rather, the value of the US Dollar decreased by that much.
The Frio.. Was the water deep enough floating? We are heading up there a few days next month.
Wimberly is beautiful. I really love Hill Country. Kerville is my other stomping ground in Texas. I spent many years as a ranch sitter at Echo Hill Ranch outside of Medina when Kinky Friedman was out touring. Echo Hill has recently been converted to a camp for Gold Star children by Kinky and his sister Marcie.
It’s a great cause to support, either with donations or by becoming a volunteer. Even if you play music or teach classes for the kids, it is greatly appreciated: https://echohill.org
I reside in WA. State. Bought our house in 2006 for 160,000 – height of the market, not too long before the housing crash.. Still here, but across the street all new sfr built starting since 2020, w/ each built dealing higher priced then the last! 1st built @ $225,000 .. now, 7 houses later 350,000 on up!
All w/ hydroseeded ‘lawns manored’!!
People have absolutely NO clue what’s coming. I could ring a bell like the proverbial Town Cryer.. ‘ “Plant your vegie garden NOW! ..before its too late!”
.. but would mostly be mocked as the crazy neigbohood oaf..
And yet when the sh*t hits the fan, it will be an “unexpected” and “surprising” development that “could not have been predicted”.
Coming to a broadcast near you.
And Trump’s fault. And also racism. Oh, and transphobia.
You missed xenophobia and “Putin’s fault”! But I guess since Putin and Trump are such great Buds (according to the Left) its all Trump’s fault!!!
I just started identifying as panphobic. I hate everyone.🙂
Technically “phobic” means FEAR, not hate.
Claustraphobic people FEAR enclosed spaces.
Lefties then equate fear with hate,..anyway I thought Panphobic meant you were afraid of PANS.
I doubt that many on this site are unprepared.
And we don’t watch TV news….not even FOX….unless we catch a snippet of Tucker on TCTH.
New Media is the rebel media.
At my local farmer’s market the prices of lettuce, tomatoes, onions and garlic, for example, and almost the same as the local Publix. I asked one vendor why, his answer was basically because they could. And people should pay more for freshness. And such. So I don’t see any upside there
I agree and that is why I don’t go to our small-town farmers’ market. About twice a year I will drive 20 miles to an enormous single-owner “Farmers Market” but only to buy bulk spices and special foods such as anaheim peppers, horseradish roots and such.
Our “farmers market” here in an LA suburb is mostly fake. Just about everything is purchased by the vendors from distribution centers, repacked or unpacked, and sold under a pop-up tent for authenticity.
Plenty of ‘undercover videos’ on the u-tube showing this fraud is common as well.
That is so true. I was involved in supplying LA “farmers market” vendors. If it wasn’t what you pointed out there would be no “Farmers Markets” in LA or almost everywhere else either. As a customer, except for the social part of it, I just go to the grocery store.
You can imagine the belly laughs when I go to the farmers’ coffee shops and tell them about city people starting gardens on their window sills. Lol.
I went to a local farmers market in central NC in May a few years back and a vendor was trying to sell my husband locally grown fresh tomatoes. I laughed at him.
About six to eight weeks to early.🤔🤔
Unless they had a greenhouse. The local Amish had greenhouses and fresh ripe tomatoes early in the season….until they were burned out…!
The “Black Hand”.
Sometimes around my neck of the woods (southeast NC), they’ll have tomatoes from South Carolina, but I’ve never seen any “locally grown” fresh tomatoes. Real tomatoes aren’t uniformly perfect and have that color that you know is a real tomato. It’s always a disappointment!
There are a few items that are less expensive and items are all fresher than the stuff at the grocery store but I agree with you, there is currently little to no savings by shopping at the farmer’s market.
Still support them if they get their stuff form the region. Maybe no savings but there is food there that may be there when downtown big city has none.
That is exactly what I expected the case would be.
Half of the produce at local farmer markets in my area are from Mexican farmers.
I would like to know how they accomplish this. I am not sure if they are legal or
not, but most do not speak very good English. They usually have one person at
the tent who answers questions and handles the money.
Do they own their own farms? Do they bring the produce up from Mexico?
Or Texas, etc.? Just curious.
These are most likely farm laborers and take the culls left at the farm they work at to a farmers’ market. I had Mexican laborers who did just that who worked for me. I just gave them the culls free and they see it as a bonus of appreciation from me.
Incidentally, a cull can just have a slight blemish or be too ripe for shipping. Myself I prefer the rejected so called over-ripe for shipping cull. More tree-ripe flavor and I am going to eat it right away anyway. So much you buy in a store tastes like cardboard.
I will give you a secret; You buy fruit in a store and most come home and immediately put it in their refrigerator. This stops the natural sugar development. Leave it out for several days until it ripens to what you prefer then put it in the refrigerator. The difference is night and day and now you have tree-ripe fruit.
I have had people who do not like a certain fruit show them this trick and now they can’t get enough of what they thought they did not like. Lol
Or put it in a paper NOT PLASTIC sack, ripens faster from “rebreathing” its CO2.
I’ve only been a few times to farmers markets but most of their stuff is more expensive than what I pay at warehouse clubs like BJs and Costco. There are farms not too far away in Chester and Lancaster counties but maybe they’re just not close enough.
I feel like an ad for BJs sometimes but the membership fee very quickly pays for itself. Much cheaper than the grocery stores.
Same here. It costs more at the local farmer’s market than Whole Foods and I am told it’s because we have to show support. Also, there are more arts and crafts, honey and bread type of stuff at these markets than vegetables. I stopped going several years ago…
Very true “CirclinTheDrain”.
Our local Farmers Market is much more expensive than the local grocery store.
They charge more because they can.
All of the aging yuppies shop there and drive the prices up considerable.
We get no financial breaks by buying at the local open air Farmers Market here, they are very very expensive.
We still have honor system garden stands. Fresh produce in the summer is out out every day and you pay what you think is fair. They collect the money in the evening and start all over the next day.
Nice.
Here it is what the Farmers Market venders can charge.
I do not blame them, they are out to make a buck and a nice piece of change they make from the tourists and yuppies who come here thinking of health and fresh air and pay through the nose for it.
But I will not.
Sounds like your farmers are different and yuppies who will pay for unicorns and rainbows have not moved in yet Lindy.
Grow • Your • Own
… within your means, if at all possible. THAT’S in everyone’s future, so start asap!
I love GOYA!
Example of purchasing local: I paid not quite $1300 for a “side of beef” (1/2 an Angus cow) from a local rancher. The rancher states his “hanging weight price” and it was around $2.50/lb, then the processor charges per pound to process the beef, something like $1.50/lb, although some charge a lot less (or more). Hanging weight includes a lot of things that are discarded (bones, fat, organs, tongue, etc., unless you specifically tell them you want all of it). As it ended up, I received around 225lbs of beef and the average cost per pound when it was all said and done was $5.77/lb. You can specify how you want your meat cut – some people want a lot of roasts, some people like a lot of hamburger, but there’s always steaks and brisket. I have paid a lot more per pound from local ranchers in other places I lived, closer to $7-8/lb.
One of my adult children bought a pig from a local family and we swapped beef and pork. It’s a great way to go in with other families if you can’t get or don’t want a whole cow or pig. Purchasing from a local family, keeps them in business!
That’s a slice of life most city dwellers are blind to. I know a good number of rural folks who do exactly as you describe and have had the pleasure of going in on a few slaughters. It’s a great way to fill your freezer. Good share!!!
I buy meat that way too sometimes. What I wonder is this: Since you pay for the hanging weight, then receive the packaged meat which weighs less, how can you know your butcher didn’t keep some for himself?
https://beef.unl.edu/beefwatch/2020/how-many-pounds-meat-can-we-expect-beef-animal
This article gives a complete explanation. Don’t forget to tell them you want the heart, tongue and some soup bones.
Got some tongue that I’ll boil, peel then smoke. Pretty darn tasty. Sliced thin for sandwiches.
The other thing, is how do you know that was the steer you purchased from the farmer/rancher. Not the steer the processing shop changed out for an older one?
Unless you are personal witness to ALL butchering, grain harvesting, seafood fishing, and food growing, how do you know anything about anything you eat???
I have wondered that also!
I have thought the exact same when picking up my processed beef from the butcher!! I wonder if the butcher is eating one of my thick ribeyes that night!
Another advantage you have is you can specify the hang time (aging). The longer it hangs time ages the more flavor and tender the meat. Top restaurants do this with their steaks and other meat dishes.
Once upon a time this country mined the earth and made EVERYTHING and became the economic and independent juggernaut of the planet.
Take away the mining and the making and guess what is left? That’s where we are at. Declining economy and mortally dependent.
Hey buddy, no-one swipes better than me. That should be worth something, amiright?
Hahaha
Post of the thread!
Thank you very much for cutting to the chase.
So true Levi.
We took our time in creating and making things also.
Now so many must have what they want instantly.
Running “eight miles a minute” and even faster.
For some reason building faster and quicker became all the rage and taking time to do things was not good.
We might want to rethink that way of doing things.
Two schools of thought.
He who hesitates is lost
VS
He who hesitates sometimes finds a better way
Cue up another reason for the rest of the world to hate America.
Food inequality.
Imagine living in Argentina as described herein.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/inflation-got-you-down-at-least-you-dont-live-in-argentina-11650898676
Let’s hope the starving people don’t have access to YouTube because watching “My 600 Pound Life” and “Hoarders” won’t make anyone hate America less.
A hoarder is a person who buys a large amount of something, speculating a near future shortage, then sells it at a super high price. A prepper is someone who stores enough food for his/her family to last them (months to a few years supply) through a catastrophe, whether manufactured by the goober mint, or nature.
The unnecessary burden placed on those that can least afford it is almost criminal.
My hunch is the majority of CTH supporters are well prepared and can improvise and make do.
Seniors with mobility issues may struggle more than most.
However that’s where we can all “ chip in” and can quietly drop off a few items to an elderly neighbour that is in such a spot.
It sure can sure put a smile on their face.
Especially a high quality loaf of bread..
Just a thought.
Cheers to all.
I am canning like mad!
I am also following Monkey werx to see any abnormal changes
Trump tax cuts caused inflation with a 5-year delay

Not enough billria!
These people lie as easily water flows down a ducks backside. Nothing to do with the 850 billion in stimulus checks, 400 billion in cash out refinancing thanks to Fed zero interest policy, one trillion in forgivable PPP loans ( 400 billion of which stolen through fraud ), another 4 trillion indirect via the Fed printing machine.
And to think some will actually believe that hokum and vote for Mr. Schumer and clan again so we can pay for our own demise.
I hear you Grandma, “Lord have mercy!” 😠
The libs always say that. Who is still believing this nonsense?
Big fan of goya products
Me too and have 15 cans each of pink, black, and small white beans in my pantry right now!!💜🤗💜
Oh yeah, I like the dark kidney and black beans for my kale soup.
I use the pink and black for rice and beans and the white for my ham/sausage bean soup! Yum!!
PS: I’ve never tasted kale(I’m a big chicken)🤦♀️
Kale doesn’t taste bad but it doesn’t soften or wilt like spinach. I don’t care for the texture.
Being southern, I mix turnip greens, mustard greens and kale. Cook it up and it’s wonderful.
With a big slab of fatback and a dollop of lard!
Stir fry.
Try adding some to your ham/sausage soup.
It’s similar to spinach IMHO.
Goya also has canned meat products, corned beef, luncheon meat, a spam like product.
Yes we use many other products of theirs, not just beans, but their beans are a family favorite!
Biden will leave America a vast wasteland. The next war….
It won’t be A nuclear weapon. It will be mAny.
And the next war after that will be fought with sticks and rocks.
So confused! Bi-sh*t assured us by lifting sanctions and tossing pallets full of cash at the moolahs would have the opposite effect! And that was just last week!
Well, why wouldn’t she know – after all Joebama used our tax dollars to pay for it!
I sensed that Maria was being whiplashed by Goya Bob trying to keep his talking points within Fox’s boundaries. I seem to remember Goya going afoul of some “global” protocol in the last few years-may purchase a few more of their products. But luckily we are within 30 minutes of several farmers markets, and will visit one this weekend.
I got my “farmer” Roundup and Weed B Gon sticker shock today. Wow!
Spring and weeds coming so I went out to buy some weed killer (Weed B Gon) and general all purpose killer – Roundup.
Prices were 300% more than last year. 300% in one year!
The regular NPK nutrition fertilizer is up about 10-15% so far, but I expect those prices to accelerate upward in coming months as they sell out of the last years product in warehouses.
Not to worry too much – UNTIL our food production is exported overseas.
Count on much of the world celebrating the redistributions from America.
Hmm… so we are assuming THIS administration is going to put America First in our own food supply chain? Have we SEEN how this administration is being run? They’ll prioritize everyone… except the legal American citizen!
Goya Foods CEO Bob Unanu is certainly not the typical Big business CEO today. Not a hint of demented wokeness in his words. Only reality as he sees it based on rational thought, experience and empirical evidence. How refreshing.
Maria is a positive FNC host but she constantly steered Unanu into the direction she wanted him to go. Some of it might have been wise to do but it seemed to be an overly guided interview rather than a free one for her guest.
I made the mistake of watching a few minutes of Brett Baier’s show today and his 1st guest was Dem. Sen. Ossoff lecturing the American people about the border problems that are caused by Republicans not willing to agree to amnesty for illegals etc. What a miserable waste of time.
IMBO, a FNC show that covers the issues sundance includes on CTH in depth would be a must watched and informative show similar to Tucker but not as limited as Carlson is on some “untouchable” subjects.
I will bet you this is why they’re bringing immigrants in by the score. The more people over here competing for a dwindling supply the happier these bastards will be.
I read two substacks earlier. One from Steve Kirsch and the other was from Igor Chudov. Both are quite well known in the area of vaccine/covid knowledge. Turns out Moderna knew that broad spectrum immunity would be much harder to achieve in the vax’d crowd. Also the subject of using a single antigen on a highly mutable virus (coronavirus) came up. and that it might be a bad idea. THESE PEOPLE KNEW THIS ahead of time I assure you. Even if they didn’t they damn sure know it now. Yet they continue to urge people to get an injection for an antigen (Spike Protein-Wuhan strain) which has been extinct for at least a year; yet they push forward. And BTW we now know thanks to the Pfizer docs they are well aware of the side effect profile.
My point, this is a group of people that are completely incompetent or completely trying to kill their fellow citizens. You make the call.

It would be great if contours had gardening classes for the masses cause we have no idea what we are doing anymore
Liberal Democrats think Whole Paycheck, er Whole Foods, is field to fork
Their prices for vegies are better than our local farmers markets.
Not in Florida’s farmers markets or Publix
I’m not sure Biden voters have noticed the increases. The poor will get more EBT. The wealthy don’t care. And I’m pretty sure the upper middle class suburbanites that live on the coasts are so far completely unaffected.
I would bet you that you could go to any tech or biomedical company in CA, or MA, or VA and the majority of their employees would not know what eggs or milk cost today or what they cost last week or six months ago.
Our farm market prices are higher than Aldi and sales at Publix but I still shop there because we need to keep the small farms.
He sounds like a Democrat. He thinks people here are rich and won’t have a problem with food costs, which he kept avoiding talking about, but the poor people every where else will suffer.
Adding to the issue is the Chinese (not Chinese Americans – but communist Chinese citizens) have been allowed to purchase more than 300,000 acres of farmland in OK. I believe they own about 3 million acres across the US.
Are we stupid? Allowing our enemies to own our food production?
Yes, the politicians are stupid to agree to this. Yes they are stupid.
Gates owns 250000 acres in Montana. he’s our enemy too, and I bet he’ll put something in the food the acreage produces to either kill us, or make us sterile.
Don’t know about lower prices closer to the source. My experience has been that the prices are about the same or higher. I am talking about fruits, veggies, and meat.
Well years ago while on vacation in California found that farm stand strawberries, Cherries were more expensive than in the stores. When traveling attempted to shop in stores, to save on restaurant costs. Was an eye opening experience.
Took 14 months to go from “build back better” to “there will be food shortages.”
Dunno, tired of listening to lisping shouting Maria. I am so ready for some new news people, ones that are not tied to the Media Mafia, Swamp, and WEF.
Leavemygunsalone: You can be your own newsperson. Much better, that way. All TV “newspeople” are just good at reading scripts and sitting still in front of a camera. They are a class of entertainer. That is all.
Years of planning, 68 acres, 10 head of cattle, 35 sheep, 14 goats, chickens, garden and years worth of long term food, parts, medical, supplies… And OPSEC out the rear!!!
Ask me if I care…
The faster we hit bottom, the faster this can be fixed, less a few million.
This is fabulous.
Farming in 3,200 Milk Crates for a High-End Restaurant in Manhattan
If I were to go back into the farming business this (Hydroponics) is the kind of farming I would do. I have a couple of former conventional farmer friends who have done just that.
Actually, this guy is gardening in soil held in milk crates. There are other milk crates underneath to raise them to a better working height.
I’d like to try hydroponics too.
So much of farming hinges on controlling your water supply.
What these guys are doing is great as long as the city water supply does not get shut down.
They are doing the best they can with what they have.
Owning your own water with your own well is nice and having some way to get it out of the ground besides depending on a county electric company is great.
If you are dependent on city, county or some kind of government water you are fragile.
ColoradoChloe, You are fragile if you are attached city, county, or government utilities, especially water.
I don’t need no stinking farmers markets, I grow my own food and raise my own chickens. I feel sorry for people living in the cities, they are screwed. The worst off will be poor countries. We will likely be forced to share what we have with them.
Why do I keep wanting to buy more products from this guy?
I am planting a big garden this year. With all the crap they have been shoveling our way it will be very bountiful around November.
So we hear from an actual food supplier the issues and concerns effecting the price of his products? Rather detailed too.
And yet what MSM publishes is what Poopy Pants Joe says is the problem?
How difficult is this to ask those involved what the issue is?
I have to disagree with Mr. Unanu about the U.S. not seeing a shortage because this administration will create a shortage by any means necessary. Don’t think so, consider their track record; shut down drilling and new leases to create a fuel shortage and huge price increases, then started taking oil from our SPRand is sending it to Europe; restricts natural gas production yet increases exports of natural gas to Europe; allow hundreds of thousands of illegals into the country to take more of our tax dollars and jobs, and many more examples of their agenda to make us another third world crap hole. So they will not hesitate to export our food in order to make us hurt even more.
