When the USA and NATO countries engaged in economic warfare against Russia by de-platforming Russian banks from the SWIFT system in March, it set off a chain reaction of world events that will lead to global famine and food scarcity panic. Fertilizer and the natural gas used to manufacture fertilizer are now in short supply around the world. Many prominent food producers such as India have turned to export bans (food protectionism) to secure their own domestic supplies, worsening global food scarcity. Rising fuel costs have only added to the problems, resulting in far higher costs of farm inputs across the world.
But now America’s domestic food production is collapsing as well — and seemingly for the same reasons. Sky-high fertilizer costs, fertilizer scarcity, insanely elevated diesel fuel prices and supply chain problems affecting agriculture equipment are all contributing to an alarming trend across America: More and more farmers are simply not planting crops.
There’s no economic reason to do so. Rising fertilizer prices make the crops a money loser from day one. Even if a farmer invests in the fertilizer, his ability to harvest and transport the resulting crops out of his own fields is increasingly questionable. Worsening the situation, drought conditions are so bad that rice farmers in California, for example, are being told by the water control authorities there that they will only be allowed 0.4 acre feet of water per acre. You can’t grow rice in less than five inches of water for the entire season.
So they’re not planting most of the rice. Only 70,000 acres are getting planted out of 450,000 acres that could be used. Worsening the shortage, California has decided to divert water into the Pacific Ocean for environmental reasons, rather than let rice farmers use the water to grow food. From that story: “In April 2022, the water districts serving Colusa County were given their final allocation for the 2022 growing season – 0.4-acre feet per acre,” Colusa County officials said in a statement. “This allocation is not enough to support rice production, and estimates show that the Sacramento Valley will fallow 370,000 of 450,000 acres in the Sacramento River Settlement Contractors service area, primarily in Colusa and Glenn Counties. Currently, less than 7,000 acres are estimated to be planted in Colusa County, resulting in a direct financial loss to growers in excess of $270 million.”
I live on 100 acres loaded with deer and wild hogs because 1000's of acres around me are VERY sparsely populated. Deer and wild pork comprise easily 75% of my meat diet.Skans » 03 Jun 2022, 3:14 pm » wrote: ↑ For just $249, you can grow your own food....unless you are a hood rat.

there are also two more sides, those in the know and those pay tribute to those in the know of what tomorrow becomes today keep guessing cradle to grave.

Freeze your flour nd meal DEEP for a week or two, then store it air tight.

The terrain is really rocky around my house and not suited for growing vegetables. Although I am fairly well stocked up on staples like pinto beans, rice, flour and cornmeal.

your mind has been fooled since you adopted vernacular tribalism as all you wished true as had your complete ancestry to date.

The whole point. The fascists began by decimating small business in favor of big box stores, and now it's time to get rid of the small farmer while subsidizing the big players and get the little guy's land into the hands of Archer Daniels Midland, Tyson, etc. that the fascist government will be able to control. Remember, those outside of the ruling elite will own nothing and be happy!Buffalo » 03 Jun 2022, 2:13 pm » wrote: ↑ As described by an editor at USSANews.com, this policy is truly insane:
As a former rice farmer in northern California, I can testify to the stupidity and insanity of environmentalists who favor obscure fish over humans. Water to farmers is now below growing levels and will cause devastation to the 2022 rice industry, taking down farmers as well as all related industries.
