This is an update to an ongoing issue we started seriously discussing last October when it became clear that if the trajectory was followed, “the absence of food will change things.”
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is continuing to send warnings with increased urgency about the very real possibility of widespread food shortages in regions where food instability is a historic issue. [SEE HERE]
“The war in Ukraine has triggered a sharp increase in energy and food prices that could undermine food security in the region, raise poverty rates, worsen income inequality, and possibly lead to social unrest,” the Fund said in its annual Regional Outlook for Africa.”
This is a recent warning around a topic that has increasingly gained international attention. Indeed, experts in multiple related agricultural fields have openly started to discuss and predict a looming crisis as the majority of the global food supply is contingent on only one or two growing cycles per year for harvest. Those harvests are facing multiple headwinds that could likely result in lower yields.
Against this backdrop we can be certain that all nation’s government interests are taking this issue seriously. Now, we are starting to see a race for supply control by various governments.
WASHINGTON — Ukraine has limited exports of sunflower oil, wheat, oats and cattle in an attempt to protect its war-torn economy. Russia has banned sales of fertilizer, sugar and grains to other nations.
Indonesia, which produces more than half the world’s palm oil, has halted outgoing shipments. Turkey has stopped exports of butter, beef, lamb, goats, maize and vegetable oils.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has unleashed a new wave of protectionism as governments, desperate to secure food and other commodities for their citizens amid shortages and rising prices, erect new barriers to stop exports at their borders.
[…] Export restrictions are making grains, oils, meat and fertilizer — already at record prices — more expensive and even harder to come by. That is placing an even greater burden on the world’s poor, who are paying an ever-larger share of their income for food, increasing the risk of social unrest in poorer countries struggling with food insecurity.
Since the beginning of the year, countries have imposed a total of 47 export curbs on food and fertilizers — with 43 of those put in place since the invasion of Ukraine in late February, according to tracking by Simon Evenett, a professor of international trade and economic development at the University of St. Gallen.

With all of this global concern over food production and food instability, one might ask why our own government is not doing everything possible to increase farm yields in the U.S. this year.
Instead, Joe Biden is asking for another $33 billion to pay for the salaries and pensions of the Ukraine government.
Go figure.
Just starting my garden for the year, added a few more chickens as well. I’m not 💯 able to sustain my family but I’m able to reduce our grocery bill by quite a bit. Now to split and stack all that firewood
Growing a garden is like printing money. Well done!!
DD
And a deep, well composted soil is like money in savings !
Except – and even better – you can eat (or share/trade) what you produce!
Me, too.
I’m also hoping to raise sunflowers for seeds and feed corn, for the chickens.
I won’t be completely self-sufficient but anything I can do will help.
Barter is a thing you might consider.
Absolutely. Whatever you can do is obviously going to help.
You might consider rotating crops with neighbors of like mind, and rotate your crops and his, to replenish the soil. One year you do corn, and he does beans, then switch, so nitrogen in returned to the soil.
I moved to Florida. One thing I don’t worry about is my heating bill! I like being warm so my a/c is set at 78. I have citrus trees outside my side door which provide most of my lemons and limes and quite a few grapefruit and oranges. Got to get the rest of the garden going tho.
If the oranges are not being sprayed, are you using the rinds to make your own vitamin C powder?
How do you do that
There are several sites online that tell how the site owner does it.
One example is:

Looks like you can make some kickin Tiki drinks
I got stared late this year but I’ve picked lettuce, a few snow peas and blueberries so far. I also picked wild blackberries in my yard. Good luck on your growing!
We still have snow on the ground! I’m used to lots of snow, but this year spring is really slow to arrive.
Can’t wait to see green, especially hearing about all the goodies in your yard!
We are new to raised bed and a neighbor got us tall metal legs and frames the his company was going to toss and they work great, beds are waist high and the garden doing well over all. Wont save me much this year but will next year. Been eating beans, collards and broccoli waiting on the rest. First time Fl garden that made it this far!
Chickens are truly laying “golden” eggs nowadays…
The eggs from our chickens taste so much better than store bought eggs. Chickens area great source of eggs and meat, yes meat. Where do you think those chicken portions come from that are packed in nice little little yellow plastic covered trays in your supermarket? That’s right, someone somewhere killed them!
Goats can convert darn near anything to protein. Just don’t name them. LOL.
And give good milk.
My mother’s family kept a few dozen chickens when she was single and still living at home outside of the city. Back in the 1930s and 40s it was a definite advantage. She was taught early on how to whack a chicken, pluck it, and gut it. They didn’t do it too often because the eggs brought in steady money.
Firewood……and possibly cooking wood.
Well done and may God bless you. Here in rural NE Florida we have quadruped our vegetable garden. We are growing Kentucky wonder beans, English runner beans, squash, Red Peppers, radishes, okra, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes onions, cabbage, kale, red potatoes and two varieties of peanuts.
We have also increased our flock of chickens to include both egg and meat birds. Add to this, that we are ordering 25 Guinea foul keets that require almost no attention or feed and are sought after by French chefs in the best restaurants.
Guinea fowl also rid the area of ticks, bugs and snakes (not all snakes live in Washington DC). We also just bough two new freezers to ensure that we can store food long term. The name of the game today is to prepare if and while you can. The future has been well planned to be bleak!
Recommended fiction: Cracked Earth Journal. Great story with intertwined information that is really helpful for food survival.
Poisonous snakes cause I have rattle snakes amd water moccasin
Guy I know can’t say enough good thins about his keeping rattlers away. He’s west coast high desert and hasn’t had a problem since he added guineas to his flock. Talks so highly I’m seriously thinking of getting some myself.
You’re the third person this week I’ve seen talking about guineas. Are you getting from a local or ordering them? Having a horrible snake problem this year and I’m interested in the extra protection for my existing flock.
You might check Craigslist. That’s where I found some several years ago.
And do not tell all your friends or neighbors.
That many Guinea fowl might clear the area of unwanted neighbors. Those crazy birdies are LOUD.
They are supposed to make noise to warn other birds of danger, I was recently told! They’re like the barnyard alarm!
I worry about raccoons and snakes where I live.
My neighbor had a chicken coop amd the raccoons got in and killed everyone of them
My dogs would also be aggressive, they are 11 and I don’t think could downplay their high prey behavior. Pit bull mix’s
Just finished fencing a new garden 4 times the size of the last few years’ gardens, made the gate, and have begun turning the soil. It includes the old garden spot where potatoes and squash are growing. Have planted out vintage Greasy beans, but it takes so long to dig and turn the soil with old muscles. Temperature’s still fairly cool here, but seedlings are coming up to plant in a week or so when I get their beds cozy.
Me and Mr. McGregor have a lot in common as far as conniving rabbit prevention.

The Rhodesian SAS should have assassinated that war criminal Frankenstein. He actually discussed their surrender with ian Smith all the way back then! How is that ghoul alive
Hello, my friend…
Could have, should have…these ghouls, as you rightly call them, seem to live inordinately long lives.
Organ transplant … on demand of those with the cash payment ability?
Organs retrieved from those covid patients with DNR orders? DNR orders which mysteriously appear without the permission of patients’ families? Is that fanciful? The more I learn, the more I think not.
I found this the other day.
Barbara Marx Hubbard, the considered mother of the NWO, actually said this…
“One fourth of humanity must he eliminated from the social body. We are in charge of God’s selection process for planet Earth. He selects, we destroy. We are the riders of the pale horse, Death.”
Even these self annointed executioners have an allotted number of days. Hers ended three years ago. Unfortunately she let the cat out of the bag. This is why we are in this predicament. I’ve never known such in your face, brazen evil existed.
It certainly isn’t because they live such righteous lives is it? \s
My regards Bet. I had a gorgeous male Black-Throated Blue warbler use my pond as a bird bath this morning. Had a perfect morning sitting on my back porch with a couple of mugs of Coffee and scones watching all the wildlife in my yard. Everyone should try it. (The sconces and coffee as well as the observing nature)
Have a good nite!
Is my envy, showing? How funny. On the Open Thread. yesterday morning, I was discussing our Welsh pond and our feathered visitor/thief…and our coffees and Sunday papers on the deck of our Welsh garden. Now here you are talking about yours. I won’t mention the scones to my husband. He’ll become wistful. If you had clotted cream or strawberry jam with them, even more so. What a heaven on earth you experienced yesterday. I know exactly what that’s like, the warbler being top top hat on it all🤗 All blessings to you, Colkitto.

“Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others to build a more integrated global political and economic structure–one world, if you will.
If that’s name charge, I stand guilty, and I’m proud of it.”
The man himself, David Rockefeller, from his memoirs.
Yep , swell bunch.
He was guilty as he proclaimed to be, now he is burning in hell. So much for being rich and powerful!
Yes. He, as is so with every single one of the execrable acolytes of Satan, had/has to drop their blood money by the door to their eternal life. No exceptions.
He also was the one who appointed Klaus Schwab head of the WEF.
OOOOO …. nice , thats a bingo
Controlling weather impacts farmers, home gardens, FOOD SUPPLY PERIOD! For the “Hannitys” of controlled media who ridiculed callers mentioning “geoengineering” calling them “conspiracy theorists” . . . shame on them!! Harvard University offers “Geoengineering” as a major. 🙁
NOTE: If geoengineers can’t make it rain in severe drought conditions, they damn well need to get out of the business of weather control. 🙁

That is exactly what it is ..is evil..and the IMF is as evil as any of them..A lot of agriculture.. has been..effected by..floods..and that is no coincidence either..People need to understand what President..Lyndon Baines Johnson meant when he said..Whoever controls the weather controls the world..Just think about that for a while..!!
if the 1962 date is correct, then he was not yet president …
Vice President Lyndon Johnson
control the weather, to control the world !

And this is how you control the weather!

Sort of like the covid thing…..get everyone hysterical about something that there really is no reason to be hysterical about. Concerned, yes, hysterical no; blame the MSM for most of that. It will all pass. God is really angry at the way we have all allowed the world to go, that HE will, in HIS time make it all right again or do away with the world as we know/knew it…. in HIS time.
Absolutely. God will not be mocked, and mocking God seems to be their #1 goal.
They glory in it, and none more so than Yuval Noah Harari, the right hand psychopath of Schwab. There are videos where one can listen to his vile spewings.
Harari’s fellow technocrats call him “the Prophet.”
Operation Popeye was allegedly sponsored by Henry Kissinger(NYT 1974).
“Whoever controls the weather…” He always has. War, famine, pestilence are his judgments. He takes pleasure in those who fear him and hope in his mercy.
That is harsh view of our Creator who I know and trust and love.
To know Him is to love Him.
Just remember Sodom and Gamora; when he got angry last time?
He gave them every opportunity to repent, they didn’t
And angry again. . .
Matthew 11:20-24
Then Jesus began to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades. For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”
Jesus loves little children. He’s very angry at how they’re being harmed.
Proverbs 9:9-11
Instruct a wise man, and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man, and he will increase his learning. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. For through wisdom your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life.
God’s in Control! No worries!!
LBJ is FJB. Here’s the program that was used in Vietnam.
“Operation Popeye was a military cloud-seeding project carried out by the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War in 1967–1972.
“The highly classified program attempted to extend the monsoon season over specific areas of the Ho Chi Minh Trail, in order to disrupt North Vietnamese military supplies by softening road surfaces and causing landslides.” (infogalactic)
Cloud Seeding was done in Rhodesia back in the 70’s. Geo-Engineering and the chatter on some of the boards I go to is talk of them trying to destroy Photosynthesis. Their is a serious lack of Bees
There are poisons in the chem trails. I’ve actually seen them “rain” down and smelled chemicals, as well as feeling a burning sensation.
It continued long after that if one looks into the military background. For all we know, it may still be going on.
They are ‘weaponizing’ the poor ……. the last 15 years of ZOMBIE movies and Tee-vee shows were not by accident

“Predictive Programming”.
Yikes, never thought about it like that before sparrowhawk.
Maybe explains why I’ve been so scared this last year…envisioning our country turning into episodes of “the walking dead”.
A friend said recently that zombies are in the Bible. I asked for a reference. He said the verse in Revelation that says people would want to die but could not. Revelation 9:6
Not buying it, but it does say that.
interesting , thanks
Zombies are real. One visited my house, came on the property and just started vandalizing things. The security cameras got a clear shot of her face. This is the face of evil.
https://1drv.ms/u/s!An1ZJhl-8cE4hW1cSebK6Rj9sXS5
Not zombies. Just people.
Revelation 9:1-6
The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. And out of the smoke locusts came down on the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth.
They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. They were not allowed to kill them but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes.
During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.
Could be why depression, drug use and suicides are on rhe rise in the last 30 years. Looks as if death is not eluding the last category.
Nanoprobes keeping them alive?
It started in the mid 1980s when the music industry suddenly dumped the traditional upbeat Motown-style of music to which blacks had long listened, and rapidly replaced it with rap and hiphop with intense anger-filled lyrics and hard, offensive delivery. Industry insiders who were present at the time later recalled that this was a change directed by shadowy figures who visited every major black music label in America. It was NOT achange driven by changing tastes in the primary audience – it was a change in messaging that psychologically redirected American minorities’ emotions and attitudes.
Thanks , this confirms my long held observation that METAL music was shut down and replaced with much less ” aggressive ” grunge and EMO music.
The metal-heads were uncontrollable.
( WE’RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT )
Yup. All about psychological control.
That is about the time almost everyone became angry about some thing. And still is angry, but doesn’t know how to voice the reason for the anger.
Bingo. It’s been “installed“ deep into their emotional memory but without sufficient genuine real life experience that would justify it.
Several years ago, I read/heard that Russell Simmons was the person who led that transition.
I suppose that’s possible. The accounts that I read several years ago did not include any names. Simmons must have been highly paid to participate in the spiritual destruction of his own people.
I was attending a multiracial church then, and many black mothers were concerned about the nature of that music.
Everybody liked Hammer (including me), but even his music took a dark turn later.
Being a committed Christian, it disturbed him as well. Good he got out when he did.
Ever single night, Dan.
Excellent. So glad to have you on the prayer team of my campaign.
Roger Stone has stepped up as our lead campaign strategist.

Oh I am definitely there. Especially for those who step up when there is a desperate need. What fabulous news about Roger! You’ve got a good one. How interest ing he became aware of your campaign. There’s a blessing right there, right?
I’ll weep my sad, salty tears for the media…never. They sowed and now are reaping. I know campaigning is hard, tiring work, Dan. God truly bless you and all who are standing with you, side by side. My admiration for you goes very deep.🙏B
He is helping the party. He doesn’t know me at all. I am just one candidate of 100 who have joined to fight.
Stay strong.

Will do. You do the same.👍
Rodger is a bit light in the head
A few days ago, Roger Stone said that he thinks Big Mike Obama will be on the ticket in 2024. I tend to agree with him.
So true Dan. Sooner or later some will go off the rail when they can no longer provide adequate food for their family. Once multiple instances happen all bets are off because the government will declare another emergency and implement martial law – or try to, then people will have no option but revolt. It certainly looks as though things are going to get much worse and stay that way for a while.
Pray to almighty God to save us from these followers of Satan.
The world will stop without trucks. Can’t carry enough without them….and they don’t/won’t run on solar power.
If need be – I’ll share .. my ammo!
Hopefully, God will give us some increase in our endeavours to have extra to feed the hungry there will be many. But be judicious.

Waiting for the inevitable Minister of Food Consumption creation so that we can be shamed into eating bugs and genetically engineered meat. Kinda like our moms did to get us to eat our vegetables.
I have only one thing to say about that, and I won’t express it in a family-friendly Christian-oriented website. Though I have no problem muttering it under my breath to my empty room.
Ministers taste good if properly seasoned and marinated 🙂
Save the seasoning and marinade, feed them to the hogs.
Ministry of Plenty

That will be the next step. Old billy gates is already pushing it.
Greg Reese at InfoWars has a good short report on how Bill Gates + crew conveniently have bought up much farmland + even more importantly built High-Tech food growing warehouses —– to revolutionize farming — into vertical, heavily modified farming instead of traditional methods.
The new + “improved” farming is “greener” — and of course — uses heavy Genetic manipulation —- including — lettuce as a vaccine delivery system.

There are reasons why GMO is banned in some countries
Why are they doing this? To cull the population? To increase government power?
The ultimate goal is one world government. So yes, “To increase government power.” is definitely on any agenda coming from the left.
The whole world is supposed to be under their power. My problem is “Under the power of who…..I want names before I relinquish one iota of my personal powers. They have already taken away our freedom of speech. What do you think this new;”ministry” of information thing is about ? Next it will be ministry of money so they can control what/if/when we can spend on what. When did America start having ‘ministry’ of anything… besides minister of a church? I thought that was still in England, not U.S. I thought we separated from them way long time ago. Oooops, my bad, we still have “classes” don’t we….upper class has more money, middle class is just average, and under privilege (or under class) is poor. Just like England. We don’t wear the titles like over there…..but they are still there. Just not lady this and prince that…..only a few here….and they are nobodies in spite of the label they attached to themselves.
Follow the $. It isn’t easy because personal names are hidden behind investment funds + banks + foundations. That’s why we hear about Corporations + Banks + Foundations being behind all of this + only glimpse 1 or 2 figureheads like Gates + Soros.
All of the above. Part of “The Transformation of America”, just ask the Kenyan, if you can find him.

Both.
It’s Satan’s struggle to defeat God but he’s just fulfilling prophecy. Satan has tried on numerous occasions to bring a one world order. The Plague, WWI, WWII and other smaller attempts. God will determine if this is the beginning of the end days. So far he’s given us the power to overcome the evil. Best we can do this time around is fight the good fight, pray and know that if these are the end times…..good for us! Our job is to take as many with us as possible!
I like your attitude!
Satan knows he is already defeated, but he intends to do maximum damage in every way possible just to harm God by harming his creation. He’s the scorpion that stings the fox that is ferrying the scorpion across the river. It’s his nature.

For over 50 years, the Elites have been preaching — “soon” — a point of no return will be passed after which ALL life on Earth will be doomed to extinction – due to Overpopulation.
That — unless 80-90% of the people on the planet disappear, there is no hope for ANY human or animal or plant life…
It has never bothered the faithful in this eco-religion that — the prophets/scientists of it have seen prediction after prediction after prediction after prediction fail to materialize…. like the North + South Poles being free of ice and coastal cities being completely underwater and so on….
It is a False Religion to justify recruiting talented scientists + engineers to ——help develop the infrastructure to —- kill all of us Useless Eaters…
After which, Feudalism 3.0 will thrive even better than the original did centuries ago…
Well, that actually sounds healthy:
Ban Sugar.
Ban refined grains.
Ban Vegetable Oil.
Ban processed Deli Meat.
Could not ask for a better way to help Americans lose weight.
Ban those who keep telling us what is good for us and what we should do because of……..
That will definitely improve our mental state.
Exactly Bill,
Your Government has said that Sugar, Refined grains, Vegetable oil, and Processed Deli Meat are good for you.
They did this decades ago.
What has it resulted in?
Fat, sick people who rely on Big Pharma to supply drugs to keep the Fat, sick people sick.
It’s called “Sickcare”.
It’s what we have here in America.
Keep the people sick so that big pharma can just keep giving them more drugs to keep them sick.
Ah, but then there isn’t enough food to go around when you remove those items.
What?
Of course there is.
What’s left is called “real food”.
Your Government has been lying to you.
Take their food pyramid and turn it on its head for your health.
Just stop eating processed food and you will feel much better and you will lose weight.
Most importantly, Stop eating Sugar!
Cancer eats sugar.
Arthritis eats sugar.
Autoimmune disease eats sugar.
If you only do one thing to improve your health, stop eating sugar.
PS: You have to look for it in the food product label.
They hide it…especially in low fat products.
I have been KETO going on 10 years, I know how to eat healthy, but I will be damned if I am eating 3D printed protein
Whole Food Plant Based Nutrition is the healthiest way to eat.
There is no 3D printed protein.
I don’t see a food shortage in the United States unless it is a politically contrived food shortage.
Well, that could never happen, could it.
We’ll be shamed into rationing food for poor nations that won’t stop having babies they can’t feed. They will continue to send people to US as economic climate refugees even after we ship our food.

The only equitable solution is that those who can afford food must be in line first to pay for those who can’t. When you run out of money, you go to the end of the line. It is incumbent upon others to always pay your way.
Count on Brandon to invite the world’s poor here, just as long as they register D.
Not a real president.
He’s a fraud, just like the dude that swims on the girl’s team.
I agree. If I had to guess, the supplies will be available but they will be expensive. Maybe very expensive. Other countries may see wide spread starvation and they will see our supplies as an act of war.
Gee lets see, today I read several articles on the mid west floods and wheat planting. The other story is fires etc at food processing facilities. Then on to shortages due to Ukraine and Ca wildfires. Things look pretty contrived to me. Does that men you are not going to prep a little?
My entire farming life there has been floods, fires, frost, rain, calamities wiping out crops somewhere. In fact, what it is I hope as a farmer it is them and not me attitude with farming. If it were perfect conditions everywhere, every farmer would go broke.
Ask any farmer and he will tell you; it is someone’s misfortune which give me a chance of fortune. We all lose crops during a farming career. However, the biggest threat of all is not enough calamities resulting in over production.
I don’t know of one farmer worried about food shortage at the grocery store and they shop in grocery stores just as you do. What they do worry about is Biden f**king up the farming business.

I am just waiting for the official excuse for not doing anything to secure the American food supply, or heck much of anything to prevent it from all being given away will be “But, that’s just not who we are“.
My very thought when I started reading the article.
They will ship out our food and let Heritage Americans starve. The Globalist traitors running the Biden sh—show now are the descendants of the Bolsheviks, who not only did the Holomodor but a Holocaust of multiples of 6 million.
Count on it when there’s a record profit to be made in doing so.
Will Americans voluntarily starve to death, while the e-lites sip champagne
The Covidians still in denial in their cities will wait till they completely run out of stuff on store shelves, then howl for their precious Nanny state to come spoon feed them.
They’re already shipping our natural gas out.
Can’t ship out LNG any faster to Europe, already at max capacity on the East Coast last I knew.

Disease spreads like wildfire when livestock is raised in unsanitary and overcrowded conditions. The whole purpose of CAFOs (confined animal feeding operations) is to make cheap food. Corners are cut, in terms of animal health, and the animals fed antibiotics in an effort to keep ahead of the disease prone conditions. When that fails, they cull the whole flock or herd.
The farm is associated with Costco, meaning it has to raise the birds how Costco says to. And it seems the grocery chain wants birds raised as cheaply as possible. If their farms have more disasters than others, it could just be bad design, not anything malicious.

Would the globalists and communists attack the food supply by intentionally infecting chickens and other livestock? No doubt. Did that happen in this case? Who knows.
Factory farms versus small family farms like they used to have before the later 1960’s
Plan to go Luddite. If we can escape we’ll have to live like they did before 1850.
JP Sears has a humorous way of stating what he sees happening.
“They are causing food shortages?!”

I call BS on “crisis”. You can’t convince me a small regional conflict will cause a world wide food shortage. This is a manufactured “ Russia” crisis to provide the Globalists an excuse to pull off some caper where they get more power and money and we get screwed
The next con in the rolodex – to replace the failing con – of Ukraine
Yeah, cut China off of US pork. Bring baby back ribs back down to $3.29 a lb.

what could go wrong ?

If I start seeing Cargill, ADM and Bungey slowing down on their grain contracts. Than I know things are getting bad here in the US.
When I was a kid growing-up food was seasonal. Certain foods were not available all year round. Oranges during orange season, apples during apple season, strawberries during strawberry season, asparagus during asparagus season etc. with everything with the exception of milk, meat and eggs as, an example.
We canned, dried and later froze food. In Mason jars, stored in basements or root cellars. You supplemented your own garden by trading with friends & neighbors and also frequented farmer markets. When grocery stores had sales or clearances, you bought, canned and stored, just so you could enjoy some over the winter.
It took many hours a week to keep a family eating; not the 1 hour a week trip to the grocery store, to pick up ANY item at ANY time of the year. Didn’t have time for 6 hours of TV each evening or drinking in the tavern every night.
Ever ate vine-ripened strawberries or an egg less than a day old? Those that have, know what I’m asking!
Home grown tomatoes, fresh fried chicken, New potatoes…..
I actually prefer to eat that way, and can seasonal food to eat out of season.
Canning was everyone’s way of life in my day. Jars stored in cellars.
“With all of this global concern over food production and food instability, one might ask why our own government is not doing everything possible to increase farm yields in the U.S. this year.
Instead, Joe Biden is asking for another $33 billion to pay for the salaries and pensions of the Ukraine government.”
Oh, it’s much worse than that. They have expanded programs to restrict land uses in food production – like CREP. They have also opened up even more acres to CRP. CRP (Conservation Reserve Acres) used to be limited to highly erodible land that could be put into land that benefitted wildlife. Today, they are accepting high producing land, and they are paying top dollar to rent these CRP acres away from farmers who want to produce food that makes our food supply the envy of the world – instead requiring that these acres be taken out of production and planted to grass. Grazing cattle is not even allowed – these acres are idled.
You know, we should see a pattern here, shouldn’t we? Unless it is intentional, how could the people now in power screw up this country any worse than it is? We know the answer, however – IT IS INTENTIONAL. They WANT TO crash the economy. It is their one chance to BUILD BACK BETTER! Famines are a minor inconvenience to them – as long as they are able to take us off of fossil fuels. We need to remember – these people are IDEOLOGUES. Nothing gets in the way of them doing what they want to do – even if it causes a severe reduction in our standard of living – or even famines around the world.
I remember the 30s depression because of conversations I had with my dad. He grew up on a poor quality farm that my grandparents were sharecropping. The one thing he repeated was that, no matter how smart you were, or how hard you worked, there was no opportunity. In the years that I farmed the same land, I thought a lot about how the next depression might unfold. I concluded that it would likely not be like the previous one – it would come with inflation rather than deflation – at least at first.
My wife has grown used to me saying that The Left should never be allowed to run anything. And, up until the Clintons, I had been a life-long Democrat. They were the only ones who stood up against Big Money. I didn’t change – but the Democrats did.
I encourage everyone to search for Ecclesiastes 3 and read it – and think about it. Everything moves in cycles. This is what is different about how we in the west think about things as opposed to those in the east. We tend to think linearly, and they think in terms of cycles. Read Ecclesiastes 3. Actually, start with Chapter 1 of that book. There is a wealth of knowledge there. They knew all of this way back then. There is indeed, nothing new under the sun. Why? I don’t know, but I learned long ago that it is simply the way the system works. Human nature. It is coded into the algorithm we live in.
Write your wisdom down and share with all who will listen , young people especially , they are HUNGRY for exactly this kind of truth telling.
Utmost respect for you. Ty for the wisdom friend

How are the deer in your area Treepers ?
Chronic Wasting Disease observed ? Herd size down ? Affects Pronghorn , Elk and others as well.
What does a CWD deer look like ? How does one tell , if at all ?
I heard years ago that in Montana / Wyoming etc. hunters were instructed to deposit the head of a kill in a pickup drop point barrel , do not eat until given the all clear by biologists who test the brain tissue for Mad Cow – CWD – brain spongeform encepholophathy .
Story goes a hunter never heard back , ate the animal and DIED of the human variant Crutzfeld Yachob ( sp ) disease
SparrowHawk: Not a problem in California mule deer.
Never heard of that program, and I have lived in both states.
Deer here are in surplus, along with pheasant, turkey, fish, and other game.
Lots of deer passing through our back yard daily, along with grouse and turkey. Everything looks healthy, just thin from a long, snow laden winter.
Meanwhile our state department wants to keep hostilities going in the Ukraine indefinitely despite that the Ukraine has lost this conflict. Add to that they have no desire to normalize relations with Russia when it’s officially over. The potato in the white house (who has been wrong about every foreign policy decision his entire time in washington) wants to keep throwing money and weapons at the Ukraine while having no clue about fixing the choke point in port of Los Angeles supply chain or sitting down with agriculture reps to see what they need to keep food flowing in this country. His cabinet consists of drooling idiots like Harris blinken and buttegeig or dangerous ideologues like mayorkas and Jake Sullivan. Meanwhile WEF Blackrock licks their chops. Perfect storm?
Expect DC to maximize pain by exporting everything
In all my years of farming and growing all kinds of different crops I never grew a crop that didn’t end up being “too much”. It is why we had “soil bank”, subsidies, Conservation reserve programs. Millions upon millions of farm land taken out of production because of way, way too much sustainable profitable production.
Agriculture became and is a political football. I will guarantee this much, if there is a food shortage in the United States it will be a political food shortage and certainly nothing to do with farming.
So, folks I’ll see ya down aisle #9 at the cucumber, celery, corn, lettuce, potato, tomato display. Don’t be surprised the person standing next to you isn’t a farmer looking for a bag of onions.
Funny you should say that. I started wondering if the price hikes were due to food distributors withholding goods to regain monies lost during lock down, and of course the extra tax goes back to the government to reclaim on all the stimulus.
Just like the “housing crisis” we constantly hear about. Nothing but an excuse to funnel more money to the chosen.
While the eye is drawn to sub-Saharan Africa, do not lose sight of the fact China is among the places “where food instability is a historic issue.” Also consider something which has recently come to my attention: the PRC is highly dependent on foreign seeds and livestock to sustain domestic agriculture.
Then there is Indonesia’s export ban on palm oil. Indonesia produces roughly half the world’s palm oil, an ingredient in the most widely-used vegetable oils as well as other consumer products.
Indonesia can keep it’s palm oil. Palm oil promotes cancer, especially breast cancer. I’ve been trying very hard to avoid it since being diagnosed.
Sorry, don’t have the links handy, but could find them if anyone was interested.
Thanks for the info, jrn. Best wishes for you.
I’m so tired of comments like this. Yes many foods and oils are bad for health. Problem is that many are dependent on them to eat. What part of millions, perhaps a billion, are going to die from starvation in the coming years is so hard to understand?
Sounds as if the US is being set up to send more “aid” overseas. This is another global scam in the making.
Exhilaration of wealth…
Send food/energy abroad as “Aid”.
Shortages at home cause higher prices.

And let me just tell you the IMF really cares. Been to W Africa couple years ago. Let’s just say I got lost from the tour group. It was a weird internet romance thing gone awry. I saw a lotta money, cartel level stuff. I know I know sounds like I’m telling stories. Some of the sights were hard on me. Was like being in a war. Some places were ok but every damn building/house was surrounded by razor wire. I think I was sent there because I’m an idiot (haha). But no I suspect it was to learn. These people are sitting ducks.
The war in Ukraine is the excuse, the WEF is the designer.
jus wundrin: Yup. Thus, the continued push for arms and financial aid to Ukraine. Gotta spur “food protectionism,” and screw up global supply chains some more.
How The Ukraine War Starts The Great Reset (substack.com)–Emerald Robinson:
“Our corrupt elites keep predicting at their globalist conferences that food will soon become scarce and expensive. Why is that? It seems to be an unlikely scenario in our age of modern farming and global shipping. Why would food production capacity suddenly collapse for, say, 100 million people?
This is where the Russia-Ukraine war comes in. Russia and Ukraine together produce about 30% of the world’s wheat exports — as well as 15% of corn exports and 30% of barley exports. Russia alone produces 15% of the world’s fertilizer. According to the corporate media, the war is causing fertilizer costs to skyrocket. All our media outlets agree about this “unintended” consequence.
Biden has explicitly said that food shortages are coming, and that the deaths of millions of people due to starvation is just the price we all have to pay for our sanctions on Russia — and the ensuing mayhem that they’ve caused for wheat exports.
Welcome to the next step of The Great Reset.
This is exactly what the globalist elites want to happen. The Biden regime is not preventing catastrophes — it’s provoking them. Population reduction by virus or vaccine or famine is the ultimate goal. You are the carbon footprint they want to reduce. And if you don’t believe me, just remember that it only took 14 months to go from “Build Back Better” to “get ready for a global famine.” While the West stockpiled debt, the communists stockpiled food and oil and commodities.
Did you sign up for “supporting Ukraine” with the expectation that it would cause a global famine? Of course not. If the Biden regime truly cared about preventing the starvation of millions of people around the world, then it would be reducing sanctions on Russia and pushing for peace talks during the planting season in the most productive wheat fields in the world — and that’s the exact opposite of what they’re doing.
Just look at gas prices, food prices, and mortality rates — the Biden regime wants the “unintended” consequences.
Those “unintended” consequences are the point.”…….Read it all.
I hope you’re gardening this summer. We are.
Grow Some Berries and Thwart John Kerry!
Do you notice that the woman is digging in the dirt wearing stockings? Talk about different times!
“With all of this global concern over food production and food instability, one might ask why our own government is not doing everything possible to increase farm yields in the U.S. this year.
Instead, Joe Biden is asking for another $33 billion to pay for the salaries and pensions of the Ukraine government.
Go figure.”
Increase farm yields in the U.S. this year = Zero percent for the Big Guy.
Another $33 billion to pay for the salaries and pensions of the Ukraine government = 10% for the Big Guy.
You have no idea the amount of farm subsidies already being paid to farmers. Farmers need markets. No farmer I know has a yield problem. Ask any farmer his concern outside of weather and water, he will answer a profitable market for his production.
This will just encourage the globalists to use it as another example (for them) to justify a world government. That way they could tyrannically mandate “equitable” distribution of food. Or maybe they will just call it a food pandemic and turn it over to the WHO. The push for tyranny on a worldwide basis is unprecedented, at least since WWII. I hope it is because the tyrants see they are losing and desperately taking their last stand. . . for now.
To those new to gardening: please try to use open pollinated or heirloom veg seeds so you can harvest the seeds for next year’s planting. Hybrids will not give you viable seeds. Our seeds have gone from 1000s of varieties to a few dozen each veg variety.
I’ve found that heirloom veg are hardier and easier to grow.
You don’t need fancy stuff! I use old strawberry containers with lids cut off and light potting mix to start seeds.
We purchased grow lights last year but this year I had less patience and our seedlings were growing at different rates so I brought them to our breakfast bar with indirect sunlight from two directions. I bring them out on patio on warm days and in on cold nights. They are sturdier and healthier than last year with grow light!!
You can grow lettuce in pots on your balcony right now. (Most don’t like hot summer weather).
Plants want to live. MI Gardener on yt is good at practical advice as well as many others.
Victory Garden!
Totally agree. Hey, have you ever heard of landrace varieties? It’s the term used for when you breed plants and livestock on your own land. For plants you save the best seeds and grow them next year. Eventually, you have a variety that is well suited to your local conditions.
I purchased a couple books on cross breeding plants/veg seeds this year. 😉 no idea what to do with new knowledge! My peppers were not limited last summer to their own kind and I ended up with some truly ‘open pollinated varieties!’
i use Botanical Interest, Victory Seeds, Seed Savers and even Burpee has heirloom and open pollinated. As do places like Jung and Johnny’s. I use bamboo skewers with little flags made of Kraft label pieces and write on them with ink to keep track of who is what varieties. Last year my fancy store bought tags faded and decomposed leaving little help as to varieties by harvest time.
…once you purchase seeds, a plethora of catalogs find you! Happy planting! I am asking for garden ducks this year to help fight cabbage worms…
One source for heirloom seeds -> Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds
My brother gifted me with packets of seeds from this place a couple years back – they are located in Missouri and specialize in heirloom varieties. They have a large selection:
https://www.rareseeds.com
Hold on there, Pepper, I beg to differ with you on a few things you stated.
1- Seeds saved from a hybrid vegetable are indeed viable seeds, you just won’t get the same thing as the F1 hybrid.
2- There are many vegetable and fruit varieties out there in the world. There are far more varieties of tomatoes, peppers, okra, squash, potatoes, lettuce, etc than have ever been available. There are over 5,000 pepper varieties and way over 20,000 tomato varieties. And hundred’s if not thousands of new tomato and pepper varieties bred each year–and no, I don’t mean GMO type breeding. Good luck trying to grow all of them in a lifetime.
Now I’ll agree with your that there are fewer choices of commercial varieties offered at your local grocery store. the reason for that is what is grown commercially are bred to have thick skins that won’t blemish easily, can be harvested early (still green) and mechanically and can be shipped stacked high without bruising or rotting . Then they are gassed(but with a natural gas that occurs naturally to ripen them).
But the world is full of good natural hybrids(intentional cross pollinated) and open pollinated varieties if you are buying, saving, and sharing seeds. They are just not “commercially viable”.
And beware that saving seeds from open pollinated varieties can also give you a different result because many cross pollinate with ease with another variety due to bees, flies, insects, and just a gentle breeze. And peppers are one of the most promiscuous vegetables out there–cross pollinating at a rate up to 50%. There are tricks to keep your saved seeds “true”, but that would take quite a post to list how on all the different types of fruit and vegetables.
I’ll close by saying that the word “heirloom” in the gardening world has no legal definition or generally accepted definition at all. It is more a marketing ploy than anything else. Heirloom at least usually means it is an open pollinated instead of hybrid, so if you save “true seeds” you will generally get the same thing each year.
Intentionally cross pollinating varieties(breeding) new fruit and vegetable varieties is a very fun and rewarding endeavor, but it takes knowledge, time and lot’s of patience as it usually takes 7-10 years(or growing cycles(generations) to fully stabilize. (You can also dehybridize a commercial hybrid into an open pollinated variety with the same amount of attention and time!)
But I’ve babbled enough.
Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences
We are going to pay for some “blankety blank” Ukraine’spension? Really?
Some persons in this country need to swing for this obscene theft from the American taxpayers.
“America Last” is a real policy.
The one great revolution in world history was the American Revolution.
Most so-called revolutions since have been desperate efforts to return to feudalism. Neo-feudalism.
A world where a few rich people control all the resources, and allocate them to those loyal. That is the world most people strive for.
We obey, so you must feed us. The welfare state, or the neo-feudalist state. Tomato/tomato.
“The war in Ukraine has triggered a sharp increase in energy and food prices that could undermine food security in the region…” Total BS. It was triggered by WEF-trained disciples of Klaus Schwab running most western countries today and their pursuit of a green utopia of windmills and solar cells. The RF’s operation in Ukraine has had an effect, but the idiotic sanctions deployed by the west against Russia have really exacerbated the problem. And, of course, all the money pumped out in western countries in the aftermath of the mindless covid lockdowns has simply been gasoline thrown on the fire of inflation. It’s gonna get a lot worse and victory gardens are great but they won’t suffice to cover for many things that will be needed.
People have no idea the amount of produce acres are plowed-up every year when the market for the specific produce “tanks”. Acres and acres of lettuce, cantaloupes, tomatoes, etc. etc. . The same with fresh fruits that are sent to juice, cattle or just scattered on open fields. The American farmer can farm himself into bankruptcy in a heart-beat with over production of anything grown.
If you all aren’t hunting – fishing proficient yet, you best get going. Also, best be picking up extra packages of seeds for gardening. Vacuum pack extras and store them in a cool, dry dark place. Also learn how to raise poultry and process it yourself.
Treepers can check with their county ag extension agents to find out about opportunities such as on-farm workshops. A local man told me yesterday that he had recently attended a workshop for harvesting, butchering, and packing hogs. That included watching as the speaker shot a bullet into the hog’s head.
He said that the demonstration was well-attended and useful. Three years ago, it might have been reasonable to expect that people would not dedicate a day to trying to learn these skills. Times have changed.
Hundreds of millions of people world wide are about to discover that they live in a Darwinian universe, not a woke one where good intentions is enough to sustain life and libmb.
I moved my wife and myself out of the Portland Oregon metro area to a coastal rural town for may reasons. But the biggest one was that at least we would have a reliable source of protein rich food sources and be as far away from the food riots and associated crime when the food distribution system breaks down.
Anybody living in a metropolitan area right now, who hasn’t prepped up for the coming food distribution shortages is easy meat.
Not trying to be callous here, but its the reality that many of those who live in metropolitan areas are not ready. They take it for granted that the food distribution system will always be stable.
It seems food issues are the only thing that turns globullists into nationalists. I guess I’ll take it if that’s what it takes.
Just for reference on related UN Executives as the key UN executives are even divided Team G7 vs Team BRICS:
The IMF is a UN Executive and is essentially G7 and WEF lead.
Managing Director is Bulgarian (EU member, with long history of corruption)
1st Deputy is US from India, therefore Socialist leaning.
Chief economist is French, appointed by Macron
The UN Food & Agriculture Organization is lead by China Inc.
The UN Food & Agriculture Organization falls under the UN Social Economic Council of 54 Nations, lead by Botswanna and membership dominated by non-G7 and WEF nations. A case can be made that it leans BRICS & OPEC.
The World Trade Organization is NOT UN and is chaired by a Nigerian
The general Council for Disputes is from New Zealand.

So I am 1 of the many who reads and believes what is stated here and about what is coming. I applaud the many on here who have prepared and have become as self sufficient as possible. Maybe if it was just me I would move from beautiful sw fl. to a more rural part of fl, or go to mt. Or wy. or the Yukon and just pan for gold. Sadly my wife is not on board . Have. Have started to feel peoples disgust at food prices and imagine it will snowball in the coming months. For now we will be able to weather any storm shortterm. The doubling down on already failed polices means no end it sight to higher prices on all products. I like most others have no problem putting off purchases that I don’t need. It is a fairly sure outcome we are in or heading to a recession. All I can conclude that come Nov. the dominion machines will do their magic or an election delay will happen. The key fixers are still in place. Ga.,Ar,Pa.. So if no landslide, status quo remains. I pray I am wrong
Don’t choose Wyoming… very short growing season. It snowed here two days ago.

Yep…Stacked up ships in major China Inc. Ports awaiting loads, awaiting unloading (therefore idle) or awaiting permission to depart are kind of hard to ignore.
When those unfree treasonous trade deals were passed making us dependent on foreign sources this and worse was bound toi happen.
