We have 34 acres of corn planted right now. Local dairy feeds cows from silage cut from local fields. My field is fertilized with cow shit from said dairy Do they need wheat to make soda or coffee? Guess some folks diets are about to change. |

Quoted: Oh bullshit where did it all go magic land? If .gov would stop jerking puppet strings and us products stayed here we would be fine. Its fucking may. Was last years harvest bad? Because this years isnt coming for months. View Quote The United States is extremely fortunate in many ways one of them is we are able to grow all of our own food, we have lots of good land. Other countries are not in the same position, they are the ones who are going to get fucked when the russian and ukranian harvest doesn't happen like it has in previous years. If a country has manufacturing but no food and they always trade goods for food in their sandy country, well, not this time. And they can't feed their population stuff they manufactured. |

"Were I to ask the question, how much wheat or anything else a man must have to justify him in letting it go to waste, it would be hard to answer; figures are inadequate to give the amount. Never let anything go to waste. Be prudent, save everything, and what you get more than you can take care of yourselves, ask your neighbors to help you. There are scores and hundreds of men in this house, if the question were asked them if they considered their grain a burden and a drudge to them, when they had plenty last year and the year before, that would answer in the affirmative, and were ready to part with it for next to nothing. How do they feel now, when their granaries are empty? If they had a few thousand bushels to spare now, would they not consider it a blessing? They would. Why? Because it would bring the gold and silver. But pause for a moment, and suppose you had millions of bushels to sell, and could sell it for twenty dollars per bushel, or for a million dollars per bushel, no matter what amount, so that you sell all your wheat, and transport it out of the country, and you are left with nothing more than a pile of gold, what good would it do you? You could not eat it, drink it, wear it, or carry it off where you could have something to eat. The time will come that gold will hold no comparison in value to a bushel of wheat. Gold is not to be compared with it in value."
Brigham Young Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints have been counseled to store a years supply of wheat (and other necessities) for 150? years (not sure but a long time now). I would estimate that only 10% do, so don't get your hopes up that your LDS neighbor is going to have some to share out. |

It's all fun and games until this gov exports all of it and makes it our problem too.

I guess "the world" is going to have to re-learn about self-sufficiency, instead of global communism.

What percentage of wheat does the US export? The US hard red spring wheat crop is exported to over 70 countries each year to the extent of 55%. Of the total wheat produced in the country, 50% is exported, valued at US$9 billion. View Quote https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_production_in_the_United_States im not saying its not a problem, its just not a big problem for the USA. |

There is going to be famine across much of The Middle East and North Africa. India and China might have troubles. France will step up and Europe will be okay.
As for us? We produce all the food we need. We will try to export as much as possible because of the basic humanitarian impulse that most Americans have and prices are going to get stupid. It probably won't help all that much due to the scale of the problem. |

It is growing as fast as it can in my fields. Trying to do my part. Gonna be 4-5 more months.

Quoted: The world has just 10 weeks' worth of wheat stockpiled after Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine disrupted supplies from the "breadbasket of Europe". The UN has been warned that global wheat inventories have fallen to their lowest level since 2008 as food supplies are rocked by a “one-in-a-generation occurrence”. Official government estimates put world wheat inventories at 33pc of annual consumption, but stocks may have slumped to as low as 20pc, according to agricultural data firm Gro Intelligence. It estimates that there are only 10 weeks of global wheat supply left in stockpiles. Russia and Ukraine account for around a quarter of the world’s wheat exports and the West fears Mr Putin is trying to weaponise food supplies. Russia is on track for a strong wheat harvest this year, cementing Mr Putin’s control over the staple grain as bad weather spoils production in Europe and the US. Gro Intelligence chief executive Sara Menker warned global food supplies are being hit by a number of “extraordinary” challenges, including fertiliser shortages, climate disruptions and record low inventories of cooking oils and grains. She told the UN’s Security Council: “Without substantial immediate and aggressive coordinated global actions, we stand the risk of an extraordinary amount of both human suffering and economic damage. “This isn’t cyclical, this is seismic. It’s a once-in-a-generation occurrence that can dramatically reshape the geopolitical era.” The war has disrupted agricultural production in the region and sent global food prices soaring to a record high, stoking fears of unrest in developing countries. The crisis in wheat has been worsened by India, the world’s second largest producer, banning exports of the cereal and higher costs for farmers from fertiliser, feed and fuel. Western officials also fear the Russian president is deliberately trying to damage global food supplies by destroying equipment and stealing grain in Ukraine. Earlier this week, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey warned of “apocalyptic” food price rises as Ukraine struggles to export products. “Ukraine does have food in store but it can’t get it out at the moment,” he told MPs on the Treasury Committee. “That is a major worry. It is not just a major worry for this country, it is a major worry for the developing world.” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Thursday that Mr Putin is “using food as a weapon”. “The food supply for millions of Ukrainians and millions more around the world has quite literally been held hostage.” He added: “Some 20m tons of grain sit unused in Ukrainian silos as global food supply dwindle (and) prices skyrocket.” View Quote https://www.businessinsider.com/millennials-gen-z-no-point-saving-climate-change-inflation-homeownership-2022-5?utm_source=reddit.com View Quote For countries that have solid food production like the USA, we'll be fine. It will probably be more expensive, but we'll have it. Wheat exports can be halted if Americans are going hungry. Some exports are already getting halted in certain countries. (see link below) 2nd and 3rd world countries that depend on exports, watch out. If they can't afford it or manage it somehow, they're going to be in a world of hurt. Countries in Africa are especially at risk. If a famine develops, it is going to be especially chaotic since the wealthy Western countries have their own problems to deal with now. There is probably little public appetite for giving away free food and taking in more refugees with no money, skills, or common languages. Countries banning food exports |

Quoted: I am sure there are plenty of folks in DC that have an appetite for just such a thing. View Quote I hope they don't plan on running for reelection. Even some of my relatives who reliably vote Democrat are talking trash about Biden. Its going to be a hard mid term coming up Democrats. Lots of people vote based on the economy and their standard of living, despite what they say about other issues. There is still time until the next presidential election, but the DNC surely doesn't want Biden to tank the whole party with the non-stop hardships happening to Americans on his watch. There's a point where a Democratic congressman doesn't want Biden stumping for them during election time. |

Quoted: So Biden should get involved with free markets and halt the exportation of gasoline, diesel, crude, wheat and any animal that we eat that eats wheat. Okay got it ?? View Quote No, he should get out of the way of producers while preventing production from being owned by foreign governments or businesses controlled by foreign governments. And if there's a problem with food being shipped overseas for profit while Americans suffer, well, let the Americans deal with the corporate officers in a direct, forthright, and expedient manner. |

Current events seem much more clear when you realize that the powers that be want 80% of us dead and the rest of us to live in pods eating bugs.
Much more clear. Go work out. |

Europe's been emptying Ukrainian silos for a few weeks now. Since ports are currently unavailable, it goes by train to Romania and gets loaded onto ships on Danube. EU said that Ukraine needs space for the coming harvest, so they are creating the needed space. In reality, Ukraine is likely paying with grain for the weapons being supplied.

I don't know shit about wheat, but 25% of exports
seems like a significant, but not cataclysmic amount. Unless everyone else is down domestically |

Quoted: My wife has Celiac so we rarely have foods that contain wheat in the house anyways. I could see how this might be a problem for a lot of people though. View Quote Lol. Take a huge and basic staple out of the food chain and see how easy you can get whatever you eat when a shit ton more people are now competing for it. |
