It is August 2022, the US food supply chain is in a crisis right now. Much of this has to do with a number of factors:

• We are still rebounding from the Covid 19 Pandemic
• Massive drought in food producing areas in the US
• Skyrocketing fertilizer prices
• Over worked food supply chains that are beginning to buckle

These things are facts and already we are seeing a crisis reflected on grocery store shelves and rising prices taking place right now.

I read the following in Barron’s…

“None of the ranchers I know want to get out, but they have to,” Slatter says of the livestock liquidation. “Everybody is selling because they can’t feed them, and no one is buying the cows to raise.” That suggests more meat and lower prices in the near term.

The Texas Farm Bureau said in a report this past week that with much of the current breeding herd going to processing plants, calf numbers will fall in years ahead.

Just think about this folks, if everyone sells out of cattle now, what are we going to do later on?

AND THAT… is my concern.

With higher prices on seeds, fertilizer, fuel as well as supply chain issues taking place; all of these things are taking are a heavy toll on farmers.

What does this mean?

It means that while this winter (2022) we will have food on the table, come winter of 2023 the average family’s dinner table will look…. well lacking.

Here is the problem, after the winter of 2023, things will not turn around.

WHY?

The world’s fertilizer reserve supply will basically run out in September of 2022. Right now, the world is tapping into the reserves because of the Russia / Ukraine war.

Russia and Belarus lead in the global potash trade is 40 percent. Russia alone exports about 20 percent of nitrogen and 10 percent of phosphate.

Fertilizer prices are increasing. Thus, the result of this will be higher grain and oilseed prices.

It takes an average of 1 – 3 years to actually make fertilizer. Fish emulsion, which I talk about later takes 1-2 years to truly get a good batch.

Currently the number of people whose food supply is insecure is about 800 million and people facing hunger is about 44 million. This number will most likely grow in the coming months…READ FULL ARTICLE HERE… – The Kilted Prepper
