Haven’t turned a wheel yet.
Our wheat seed hasn’t had a chance yet. |

If you don't eat wheat and grains, what you eat probably does.

Half of the world's remaining "grain reserves" are in China. I was just watching an informational video that said the world normally has 570 million tons of grain reserves. Right now it's down to 70 million tons, 35 of which is in China. According to them the remaining grain stores aren't even 10 weeks and it's painting a very bleak picture.
If you look at the actual amount of crops planted in the US this year compared to the amount planted at this same time last year, the picture becomes bleaker... Throw in the events in Ukraine, Russia and the countries like India who are banning exports of grains and it looks dire. But even if 2022 is BAD, 2023 will be worse as all processed foods have to move through the system, be processed, packaged, shipped, etc., We're still eating products from last year and the year before. |

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like the United States should be capable of producing enough of anything we could ever need or want for our own country. Seems like if we didn’t want to rely on other countries we really wouldn’t need to.

Quoted: Weird, that’s not what mine (KJV) says: 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

In the time of King James (who commissioned the version of the Bible) a penny a day was a normal working wage. |

In 1986 when the Chernobyl nuclear disaster occurred there was no world wheat shortage. but then again does that mean the world has been eating radiated wheat since 1986

My cattle eat grains before slaughter.
You want grass fed beef? Because this is how you get grass fed beef. :( |

Quoted: We are so fucked in so many ways because of the totally corrupt and incompetent leadership in Washington. People haven't seen anything yet. Get ready View Quote Maybe the people in Washington were chosen to look incompetent all the while the people in charge have thier plan playing out perfectly? |

Wheat is ripening quickly on the southern Great Plains.
Wheat is grown all the way from Central Texas to Canada. It’s the Breadbasket of the Western World. |

I remember reading on the siege of Leningrad in WW2 that sawdust and other things was substituted for wheat flour. Not good.

Quoted: 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. View Quote The plan to send NSM's to Ukraine to break the Russian blockade of Odessa makes more sense now. I expect we will see more action to push the Russians out of Kherson to let the Ukranians use the port at Mykolyiv (sp?) which is a wheat port soon. |

Quoted: 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. View Quote You’re mixing up your branches. Congress would be on point for any of type of social engineering and gettin in the way of free markets type of stuff. |

Quoted: All part of the plan View Quote Let's go for global famine, diesel fuel shortage, $10/gal gas, weaponized airborne monkeypox, and for the crescendo, a Russia/NATO nuclear exchange coinciding with a sneak attack of China on Taiwan. |

Quoted: Maybe it's just me, but I feel like the United States should be capable of producing enough of anything we could ever need or want for our own country. Seems like if we didn't want to rely on other countries we really wouldn't need to. View Quote In fact, we can produce more than enough wheat, corn, soy, and anything else to fulfill our own needs. But the rest of the world relies on us to export to them. So instead of us buckling down and saying "yeah sorry that sucks but us being low on wheat means we can't sell you any", we are going to say "the world is low on wheat so be prepared for food shortages". Also sort of convenient that a certain someone recently bought up a LARGE percentage of farmland in the US... isn't it? |

What some citizen grows or mines or drills on his private property is literally his business and whomever he sells it to is their business. None of it is “ours”. |

Quoted: Some countries get 100% of their imports out of that 25% of exports. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: 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 Some countries get 100% of their imports out of that 25% of exports. Biden will “bale” them out. |

Quoted: The ones pulling the global strings have crafted what looks to be a magnum opus symphony of human suffering, and the orchestra is just warming up.

At that time the cold war was still going on. The USSR did not sell much of anything to non-communist block nations and vice versa. I am not really sure what effect Chernobyl had on the USSR's food production, USSR food production had zero effect on the west. |

Quoted: So what did the world do during and shortly after WW2? How long has Ukraine sold wheat to the world? View Quote I bet with the globalist economy a lot of countries quit growing enough wheat and focused on other productive products since they could buy the wheat cheaper from places like Ukraine. I doubt they'll be able to switch back and get it going in time to avoid problems. |

Quoted: Some countries get 100% of their imports out of that 25% of exports. View Quote No they get their imports out of the whole, now the remaining 75% Lean days aren't a good time, but they aren't death I don't know which one is over the horizon I haven't seen many people nail down on this, if it is possible to nail down |
