My husband retired from the state and works now with a farmer down the road and he said he’s never seen folks works so hard in his life. He loves it though!! He hates sitting still but he’s exhausted when he comes home every day. For example he left here at 5:30 am yesterday morning and got home at almost 8pm last night. It takes a lot to run a farm. The one he works with has hog, meat cows and plants crops too. The farmer has a multigenerational farm and they take pride it in and everyone around knows them. So I totally agree with you 100%!! But that’s the best tasting beef and pork we’ve ever put in our mouth even if it does cost us a little more. At least we know what they’ve been fed.

Yes, it’s come back around I believe. My mom is 90 and grew up the daughter of two chicken farmers from Czech. I remember the outhouse next to her bungalow. Her and her sister walked to the one room schoolhouse about a quarter of a mile, although she missed many days of school to work at the farm. She cries when we throw out food, even though our waste is low. We rarely had snacks in house growing up and my brother and I mixed ketchup and mayonnaise with some garlic and dipped lettuce into that. Looking back, I know we were lucky to have that! The flower garden now has three remaining roses and the rest-vegetables. I go out at night and pull the slugs off of them. The deer are trickier though and a new plan is needed! The neighbors receive mystery bags with cucumbers, tomatoes, herbs, etc. And per grandma’s tradition i forage mushrooms. I have sold chanterelles to local restaurants that cater to the city diners on weekends. My beloved hen of the woods (maitake) secret spots-two of my best have been cleared for progress I guess-due to the recent demand for land.

Agree; decentralization is best but even local supply can suffer due to unforeseen issues that affect crops or livestock. It comes down to personal responsibility. Everyone who can, should have chickens and a garden. Feeding 4-6 chickens can be cheap if you grow your own veg. They eat food scraps, grass and bugs to balance it all out the cost of food. Costs about 200/yr for food if you do it right; oats, floating fish pellets and black sunflower seeds. That cheaper than cats and dogs and they don't leg eggs to feed you back.

(substitute any vegetable here - the answer is the same). They don’t produce until late July I explain. Well the stores have tomatoes they say. Yes I they do I say.

For folks in more populated areas: turn your grass yard into a food garden using heirlooms which you can collect seeds from. You can then give these seeds to neighbors to expand the communities food sources. In cities, whole buildings should be growing indoors in pots what ever they can. potatoes grow amazingly well in containers, and well as LOADS of other food crops. It is much easier that you think to start growing and to teach others to also grow. We don't have to depend on a flawed production or transport system if we do it ourselves and support our communities from the inside out.

They will gather and stores will be looted, farms cleared, livestock shot and stolen, homes raided, etc. People think they can trust those around them but when it comes to starving, people change.

After viewing this video, it all makes sense and living within a town proper, the restrictions preclude our ability to purchase chickens. I've considered talking to my neighbors about forming a community coop garden and with garnered neighborhood support, challenging the town officials with respect to small livestock restrictions. This telling video should serve to motivate the proactive individuals among us to advocate for ourselves and our small community of neighbors. With a balanced perspective and an organized effort, we are a can do nation and can figure this thing out by retracing the steps of our grandparents, which could mean living with less but enhancing local relationships and supports.

Problem with chickens or any other animal is that illnesses go around. Our farmer friends in Poland loose kinda one third or more of their herd of goats to a new virus every 4-5 years or so. For their chickens they build a big house so if they have to be kept inside once the bird illnesses go around, they don't have to kill them all at once. People are fed up with Covid pandemics, you'd be surprised how many official restrictions are put on animal farmers to keep animal illnesses not spreading around, especially in more densly populated areas. So I would always start with growing veggies and fruits. One can grow a lot in containers (that can even be moved if the area is taken away, like it happens often in towns community gardens that need relocation). It also works on balconies. Of course not enough to be sufficient in food supply, but everything helps and it's so nice to dig in earth and feel it from time to time and to grow and staste ones own stuff. After all the failures until one gains enough experience, it also makes one grow a lot more respect for the farmers.

My mother sent this to me. My husband and I have been “doomsday preppers ” and “conspiracy theorists” to everyone for the past two years because we’ve been keeping up with what the every day farmers are saying. Which is just this. We only relay what they say. “Stock up with what you can while you can. Prices are killing us.” God bless us all.

As a farmer who grows hay, it’s sold before it’s cut to dairy farmers and horse owners. To get feed for chickens, you must grow that particular type of corn, then harvest, then dry, then crack and fill feed bags. Most of that was done large scale, but a wise poultry farmer would grow their own corn. Yes, the supply chain has taken a hit. Work may have to be done locally, and sometimes by hand and using pick-up trucks and trailers vs big trucks that use much diesel. Farming takes patience. It takes 250 days to grow a strawberry from seed, 110 days to grow a single pumpkin, and 70 days to grow corn. But I will say, anyone with a yard can garden, please research types like raised beds, green house, grow bags, even cardboard boxes. Then there is indoor gardening using grow lamps. Planting food that comes back every year like fruit trees, berry bushes, and veggies like asparagus. Please check your Grow Zone first, it will determine what you can grow or not. Side note; So, I went in my woods and collected wild raspberries and blackberries berries, then planted them in a small unused plot. Two years it took, but then have so many berries I can’t possibly use them all! Free! And very little maintenance.

This is a topic out of sight of both left and right in this country, as most of us now live in cities and get our food from the local supermarket. We have no concept that farming and farm policy is a national issue, and a vital one. I lived for a short while with my grandparents in Tennessee. In the 70's. They had lived through the Depression. But they worried about a similar Depression hitting us now, as in their day, they had their farm to subsist on. No money, but some food. Meat was for Sunday after church and "stretched" into the week as far as possible. Now, they noted, we rely on stores. When a similar crisis hits, we city folk won't have a clue what to do.

For me, I don't have an extra freezer (circuit board can't handle it) to store meat and my current freezer is small. I have no basement or root cellar to store food so haven't done any canning. Have bought some canned goods and foods for emergency but certainly not nearly enough. I can't even imagine what those who have done nothing are going to do. Mental preperation is going to be paramount also. It's going to be harder than anyone can even imagine. Get a gun, rifle and extra ammunition.

God gives everyone chances, but being too late in our decision making is their own fault. People's focus are in the wrong place.

I'm hearing a lot of small farmers say the same thing. Already feeding last year's hay so there will be no hay next year, and spending 2-3X as much for feed and prices are still rising. Fuel prices have more than doubled since last year. They can't afford to keep the animals so they send them to market and keep only enough for their family. Food prices are going parabolic, probably next winter when the artificial glut of the animals they can't afford to keep are gone and there are no animals to replace them.

My Dad grew up on a farm during the Depression. He said they always had food. My mom grew up in the city and said she was happy to get a chicken wing.

I am in tune with her. I have been canning and putting away all the food I can get my hands on. My son is a Trucker and he keeps me informed on lots of things. We are not big meat eaters but I put up all I can. I have my garden every year also. I have grandchildren who do not believe anything is going on. The biggest thing for them is the price of gas.

Warnings shots about our future economy are being fired from all over the place yet very few listen. I’ve got a few chickens to help me sustain through this coming ordeal but if things get as bad as the warnings say they are I’m unsure I can sustain my small flock. Thankfully I live in a fairly small community & most people around me know what is happening. Though most aren’t prepared or prepping. I’m not ready for what’s to come but I try to keep in mind that I need to stockpile as much as I can in order to get through this ordeal. Thank you for reading this persons post. I probably wouldn’t have gotten this particular message if it didn’t randomly pop up in my tube feed.

I've been buying grass-fed beef from a local source that sells at the Beaumont, Texas Farmer's Market. They have been shut down since May! They have cattle in the field, ready to be processed. Their meat processor has had an equipment failure. They cannot get the part in for it because of supply chain issues! Scary times! STOCK UP PEOPLE!!! 😫

Small farmers were not able to be small farmers no more so if people are not happy about their food is of their own doing. A small farm is worth a lot more than millions USD. This has nothing to do with the market value but with the real value. The most important/valuable things for human life are: the air we breathe, the water we drink, our health and the food we eat. There's nothing more valuable than these. If anyone should have to choose between 100 million dollars and a good health, what do you think they should choose?

We live on a 800sqm suburban block which does not leave much room for growing vegetables. It is really terrible what your government is doing to farmers. Take care and be safe.

I'm not just trying to sell something but to help people become self sufficient. After years of doing this I'd say way less than ten percent of the people are ever successful in growing something.

Hi Toni - the message is spot on. The woman who wrote it, knows exactly what she is talking about. I live in a prairies farming community and last year many cattle farmers had no hay and there was none to be found to feed livestock. My farm vegetable garden is on a hay farm and the hay crop just didn’t grow last year due to excessive heat. Only able to get about 1/3 of the usual crop. The cattle farmer neighbours were having the same problem with their hay fields and several were desperate on what they were going to do with their cattle because they couldn’t feed them over winter. So many cattle went to slaughter early and were turned into hamburger. This spring so many fields were flooded where I live that it has been impossible to get on the fields to even plant this years crops. Some were lucky and able to get out and plant, but most were not. There are grain shortages coming - I have been stocking up on various kinds of wheat berries and other usable grains like barley. There have been meetings in our communities about what can be done, put in place to “build community” and the people who have attended are the ones already working their butts off. So many people are ignoring the signs. Yes, the cost of growing chickens and producing eggs is sky rocketing. The cost of feed is going up fast. Food banks are stretched to the limits - donations have dropped fast over the last few years. Our little community has been working hard to “grow community” from within - teaching people how to plant seeds and grow veg, teaching people how to preserve food stocks, encouraging gardeners to grow an extra row for community. It has been a very slow and agonizing process at times to get people on board. This spring I was negotiating with small farmers who had fallow land that was dry enough, to get permission for our group to plant corn and potatoes at no cost to them. A few were agreeable, some were not. I don’t know what it’s going to take for people to open their eyes and understand what is going on. All we can do is pray and prepare and hope we make it through to better times

My husband and I have been warning our family members. They think we are crazy. I've just sent them your video, maybe if they hear it from a farmer they might get the message. I have a garden but no animals. Thankfully I have a really good friend that I can buy my eggs from and I try to help her buy her feed too.

I'm listening. Thank you for sharing. I'm taking steps to store non perishables and stocking up on frozen meat 🥩 for my family 👪. May God bless you and your family.

I grew up on a farm, we raised everything we ate at the table, we had smoke houses, milk cows and milking machine, I still have the rock mill we used to grind wheat and corn for corn meal. The only thing we really needed to go to town to buy was toilet paper and sugar and if we would have got enough rain I'm sure there would have been a mill for the sugar cain. We had about 70 head of cattle which we raised our own feed for, and had mills, grinders and big mixers for the cattle feed. We bought the Vitamine's and molasses for the feed but other than that when bagged the feed it was mixed with ground up hay we grew along with the open pollinated corn that we kept seed for the following year to plant. It was what I was told was a self contained farm. My Dad always told me that a farmer or rancher that bought their feed would never make enough money to keep their heads above the water to make it. Granted it was hard work and you were busy all the time but his system worked and we never worried about what food cost at the store. We were never without. My Mom always had atleast 500 one pound blocks of butter in her upright freezer and made every kind of cheese I can imagine , and her walk in panty that had shelves from top to bottom was always filled with canned goods we made. Even meat was canned. We picked wild muscadine grapes for wine, jellies and jams. We had thirty peach trees that I used the peelings to to make brandy every year. Mom also raised Chukkar quail, and Ring Neck Pheasants, also she always has a turkey in the oven she fed for Thanksgiving. She also raised regular Quail and Doves, Gunnies and Chickens. My Dad's elaborate wine making equipment he made looked like Dextors laboratory. He had plastic tubes running from one five gallon glass jug to the other with one filled with distilled water ( which we made ) to one that had five pounds of sugar which made the alcohol content. I never watched him as he made the wine. I had my own set up, but he always put up several bottles hidden that knowone knew about which eventually made it to the table when Mom would make home made noodles for spaghetti and was served in small glasses and when you dipped it , it would burn all the way to your stomach ..ha. His wine always had the taste of Mogen David wine. We had welding machines to repair the corn pickers that broke down every year or two repair the pens where we vaccinated and de-horned the cattle, etc. And we never through anything away because we lived twenty miles to the closet town of 1800 retired people and the city was about 75 miles away if you really needed something that you didn't want to pay a arm and a leg for. I still can't understand why farmers and ranchers started planting that hybrid junk corn that you can't replant, and it makes tiny ears of corn if you were lucky enough to get that. We received letters from the government telling Dad he had his open pollinated corn growing too close to a hybrid patch down the road and he needed to plow up his feilds of corn or they would bring maintainers and do it for us. This always led to me and my Dad laying in wait for those people that never showed up. I always wondered what would happen when they did as we always had plenty of guns and ammo we primed and loaded ourselves. Knowing my Dad I knew it would have been ugly if they would have tried to plow our fields up . But when things got rough and the prices went up or as usual the price they paid for pork or beef was down we never really cared as we didn't raise or animals to sell, it was for survival. I miss those days, I miss getting the bacon from the smoke house or getting some links of suasage that we smoked for a few days and when you cooked it. It would smell the house up with a smell that would make you go sit at the table and wait....ha. And I still think of having a farm like that my self one day but pushing 60 it doesn't look like I will, especially since they hit oil around here and most the big ranchers have now retired and are selling off their big ranches to the oil companies. They all built huge houses on their properties to live on and use their old four bedroom brick homes for the hired help to live in, and pay them about $700 a week to do the work while their off on some cruise. The only thing we complained about was there wasn't enough rain until we started using irrigation systems to water our fields and crops. I remember when I was about twelve years old I was working at a local feed store and going out to feed people's cattle driving those big trucks full of feed wondering how they could make any money buying all that high priced feed. Back then we could go and buy 50lb sacks of seed, of open pollinated corn to plant. Now it's changed to you go in and tell them how many acres you plan on planting and they sell you per kernal. Absolute insanity to me, about like going home after work back then and seeing my Dad putting up his big mules he used to plow the back 40 with his horse drawn equipment he was so proud of. I'm glad those days are gone but some other things left that never should have. I don't know how people are gonna feed themselves the way they live on a farm now days. Me ....I'm still grinding my fresh corn meal from the seed from 35 years ago I kept in the freezer and every kernel comes up I plant. And I still go and get a deer and mix half and half with pork butt and smoke some pan sausage, but I still wonder why I ever moved away from my Dad's farm, he was a retired longshoreman and made good on retirement that my generation doesn't get anymore, and he lived well to a ripe old age....I wonder if we will ?

Yes, the way it used to be. My mother was raised that way on the farm. I was to an extent, but far from the way your Dad raised you. It is the way I think it should be though.

Sustainance farming was how my grandparents made it through the depression. The big difference between then and now is that they had skills from their parents to actually make cottage cheese, dress out and can/smoke/ dry venison (they kept one cow for milk, a low-line jersey guernsey mix), chickens for eggs and meat, and the chickens grazed the garden. Point is that now - we modern 21st century "sophisticates" have NO idea how to forage, hunt, slaughter, dress out, process, and preserve - including myself. The Amish would be laughing at us if they thought about modern society at all. They did one thing right when reading the Bible; they don't align themselves with The World, but rather they separate themselves from it. The world is perishing.

Greetings from Finland ... I was born in the 60's and so I didn't get much of how it's without food. But my parents did. We had so called "pettu" that is grinded pine skin into the flour you make bread. Children went to collect it, cause the men were on the front. Basically that was mixed into rye-bread (black bread), cause only rich could afford wheat. The food was regulated that time anyway. Potatoes were the secret recipe.

We started stocking our shelves at home in 2020 when, after the 14 day quarantine I visited the store and found not only TP shelves empty, but there was no peanut butter, no beans, no rice. The people of my home town had been treating the grocery store like their food storage. I vowed I would never again wonder where I was going to get staples and bought a 25# sack of rice the first week. We've been buying in quantity pretty much every other paycheck since then and have enough in the house now to feed us probably 3 months without having to visit the store...more if we ration our food. We also never let the gas tank go below halfway. We started doing that in 2020 as well, when an earthquake hit our town right after the quarantine was proclaimed. Keep shoes and a flashlight by your bed, and top up your tank at the halfway point.

Ice age farmer wrote about this last year. Even predicting the glut from down sizing of herds and flocks. What’s surprising is he backed up his comments by reading directly from journals and publications focusing on the industry. What that means is the industry has known about its own demise for quite some time. Several years at least. Foreign ownership of food production facilities and exporting production off shore seems to be an important part of the problem. Regardless of the precise causes the effects are already being felt. We Americans are wealthy. We’re feeling the pinch but since we can still drive to work and buy food we fail to realize what has happened to our dream. When the average American male can no longer drive to work nor feed his family there’s going to be unfortunate consequences to endure. Scripture says a wise man sees trouble coming and prepares for it. Hint hint. God is good.

Sure there’s always problems, but I’m sorry this isn’t a global starvation event yet. We are still years out… And completely capable of feeding everyone if we do a little usda reform and stop producing “ value added foods “. Research all the loss that took place during restaurants shut downs in the pandemic…. The food went to waste because it couldn’t be sold to consumers directly due to the packaging requirements… look at all the potatoes that farmers couldn’t even give away…. You people focus on what you perceive to be a big problem but you don’t seem to comprehend the simple fact that it’s a very small problem because you don’t understand the scope of waste and red tape associated with putting food on your plate. The sad thing is the food is absolutely there but you’re not gonna get to eat it because you let lawmakers throw it in the garbage for you when it’s perfectly edible. You are creating your own demise by believing things that don’t exist.

I got a real slap in the face wake up when I was given a egg scale from the Great Depression, my neighbor who gave this to me said his great grandparents owned a little store during the Great Depression and people bought a egg by how much it weighed! No one could buy 12 eggs . I have hens, growing my garden but no one else in my family are even trying! So looking at that egg scale when he placed a egg on it , it put fear in my heart for those living in cities and HOA subdivisions. What many need to understand is the market is being flooded with reserve food! Once that is gone it will be very bad.

She called awhile back and stated that she stocked up on some stuff that she'll probably never need and now shes on this bucket list! Shes an extreme lefty who recently retired from her government job. Drives one of those dual fuel cars. It took everything in our arsenal of reasoning skills to get her to stock up just a little bit. Shed prefer to argue every little point and she'll try to turn it into a shouting match. Shes been warned. My Stepson has been warned as well. We are on a fixed income. Its not going as far as we thought it would. Hubby just finally got his VA benefits after decades of being on Soc. Sec. We get out of a decrepit mobile home. Moved north an entire growing zone with totally different soil. To be honest, we dont have the energy to worry about anybody else. Moving without help (Stepson spent that time in jail DUI) just wore us plumb out and we put in a huge garden and building cages for critters. I dont even feel sorry for these people that literally despise us for speaking the truth. Im disabled, hubby is disabled. Nobody is going to take care of us except the Good Lord. But if you pray for potatoes you'd better get a hoe! Before the Bubble burst, I lived up north with my previous husband who died of cancer. A "freind" down south kept in touch after we moved. I kept telling her to get prepared. When they started cutting her hours, I told her, " kick that worthless brother of yours to the curb and get somebody in there that will help you pay the rent! And get prepared!" She said, "Oh, if I end up homeless, I'll come up there. Youve got plenty of food." Oh, I was almost speechless at first! But finally, I told her, "SO let me get this straight. You've been eating out every day, going on vacations and instead of listening to my warnings, you think you are going to come up here after Ive scrimped and saved and worked my rearend off canning and gardening and you think you are going to mooch off me after my husband died??? I DONT THINK SO!!! Well, she ended up homeless. We no longer talk to each other because I found on her facebook page that she was ridiculing me after getting off the phone with her. I had adamently refused to get a facebook account until I lost track of her and moved and she forgot that I finally got on there to find her. So not 15 minutes after a phone call, facebook notified me she had a new post, which was to make fun of just about everything I said. I let her know I saw it and havent talked to her since.

During the great depression my grandfather lived in Chicago he planted the entire back yard with food. Raised rabbits and pigeons and organized neighbors to do the same, Urine was a great source of nitrogen, and ashes from wood burning stove were used for potassium and phosphorus. There were still plenty of horse in Chicago so composted manure was no problem to get. Horses were also available to bring in milk, form the country. It will be more difficult to get through this mess were are in if it gets that bad. Lake Michigan also had plenty of smelt back then too. Neighbors grew beans and traded for vegetables. City parks were planted with food crops also.

Unfortunately my husband and I have had this conversation many times lately. I love to be able to just give my eggs to whoever needs them. The problem is no one has thought about what it costs me to raise the chickens for those eggs. Those who ask me what I charge to purchase eggs are appalled that I'm not cheaper than the grocery store. The ones I gift eggs too are close friends and family and they just don't understand the costs involved either. One family member even asked if I deliver...free eggs plus using my own gas. She was offended when I said no. We raise our own meat chickens. A family member said she would buy meat chicks and buy their food if I would keep them at my house. I said sure but you have to care for them. Her response?! Why when you have to care for yours anyway?? I just had no answer to that. Everything comes with a price. Inflation is going crazy and people are too blind to see how they can help offset that. People need to wake up and understand that without farmers their lives come to a halt.

There is some corn planted, but not much and it's behind in schedule because of such a rainy spring. I'd say less than half the fields are planted this year here A lot still have the brown stalks from last season.

We have always been a pantry family. I love to grow a garden and this year was the first year that I’ve grown meat chickens. I get a sense of accomplishment in putting a meal on the table that is predominantly food that we grew on our land. The struggle is real in our farming communities. I know this first hand as I worked with farmers in a financial capacity for 31 years. The reason farms have gotten bigger is not greed. It’s necessity. Slim margins means that a dairy farmer has to figure out how to squeeze a fraction of a penny off each hundredweight of milk produced. We are talking the economy of large numbers, millions of dollars through bank accounts just to feed a family. The real cost of planting and harvesting an acre of corn is $963. If that corn yields 150 bushel then the cost is $6.42 per bushel just to plant and harvest corn. The market average for crop year 2022 is currently forecast at $6.75 for a potential profit of $0.33. So a farmer can expect an average profit of $49.50 per acre. Either yields need to increase or the price of corn has to significantly increase. Many farmers are choosing to let land sit idle because of the cost.

I really wish that people would stop looking at warnings as fear mongering. I know there are channels out there who do use sensationalized headlines and to me that just gets old. I like hearing sensible people talk. Please thank that lady for sharing what is going on with the farmers because so many people don't understand why prices are high and there are shortages so they blame the "rich" farmers. The average farmer is not rich and they work hard. My father in law was an honest, fair, hard working farmer and his good habits rubbed off on his kids.

I farm commercially in Alberta, and I'm in the same boat. We've downsized all of our livestock holdings to the amount required to feed our family. Frankly, we've been considering it for a few years - consumers have become increasingly combative and losses have been getting ever larger. That's right, losses. We haven't made a profit in years; in fact, we've been subsidizing the cost of food for consumers. Last year, the losses became too great, and the political strain too strenuous. We won't be supplying the world with food this year or next. Instead, we'll focus on preserving our family.

Luckily I only have a small amount and I'm lucky enough to have land they can wander and eat from. I'm very very worried about next year

Be sure to add fencing to your list of preparation. Predators of all sorts love chickens and they’re eggs. I pasture raise and have a rooster who herds my flock away when he senses danger. Skunks, raccoons, hawks, eagles, bobcats and cougars with an occasional bear are who I share my land with, but the first three also live in the city and will wipe out a small flock overnight. I use hog wire buried a foot down and bent out a foot long to keep the rascals from digging they’re way into my pasture and wood enclosed structure coups with wood floors for nighttime protection.

The Savior didn’t provide the loaves and fishes, he multiplied them. There’s a lesson in this. We have to do our part. My wife and I felt prompted two years ago to get our house in order as it relates to our physical preparation. We’ve accumulated a four year supply of food for a family of four and our goal is to increase that to a seven year supply. We know that we’ll have to help extended family and neighbors so just preparing for ourselves is not enough. Yes hard times are coming we need to be physically and spiritually prepared and put ourselves in a position where God can then multiply our efforts. God bless all!

Facts! God bless you brother! Our Lord IS OUR GOD! Who else can perform miracles and feed thousands? Whos name is known in all nations even more so than 2000 years ago? Who else could could perform the ACTS of the word and make it the living word of God perfectly depicting and performing the scriptures? Who calls the end from the beginning and from ancient times things which have not come to pass? Who else can our faith be in to reveal the creator and receive Him in His Holy Holy Holy spirit? Our Lord. He is He was and He will come. He is here in spirit. He is omnipresent and omniscient and He is why we are here together right now in the most modern times talking about Him now. He is Alpha and Omega; the beginning and the ending says the Lord. He is nigh brother and I know that you know that God knows that is true. Baptized in His spirit is what I want for you. Faith in God is Faith in our Lord and this I say is true. God is worshipped "in spirit and in truth", not temples made by mans hands. Lack of faith by Israel is why they went without their lands. We are HERE. Its our responsibility to be "of God" in the eyes of deniers. We are here to tell them all they will perish by His fire. Lest they repent in the name of the Lord; They shall perish by the edge of His sword. All these words I speak are the sword of truth. The words I put on this message isn't just for you but for anyone who through Faith in God desires all His truth. God bless you!

Thank you. I’m new to your channel and appreciate the warning. I’m a hobby farmer gardener. I stopped my chicken flock 2 years ago because the feed cost didn’t cover what I could make on eggs. My chickens lived on my garden scraps mostly until winter. I’ve been trying to do a small market garden but people think that my fresh produce should be the same price as what they pay in the grocery store for limp lettuce. People roll their eyes at me when I try to explain the coming shortages due to fuel fertilizer and disruption due to Covid. I’m retired and spend 8 hour days maintaining and seeding just leafy greens. I now no longer knock on doors trying to find customers. Now I know that I will just maintain what I like and know in my heart that people will soon be knocking on my door looking for what extra I may have. God bless everyone who sees the signs and try to help people. Stay strong and please keep posting the long lost knowledge of preserving food

Bless you. I live in Chicago in an apartment. I support and relye on our farmers market. I put up as much as I can each year. If you can't grow your own, get to know the ones that do.

Hi thanks for the info. I am not a prepper. I happened to click on a couple prepper videos over the last couple of months and you know KZread, they keep feeding me prep videos. Understanding the current macro economic situation I have listened to a few like yours. I am aware of the chicken situation and the feed prices. I keep waiting for the predictions I'm hearing to come true. So far none have. One guy was saying no diesel by the second week of June. That has not come to happen. I may be very wrong. When the markets crash and everyone is predicting doom. I'm a buyer. I do understand the imbalances in the system today. Me I buy organic free range chicken eggs, if you are to believe the label. I choose too. They come in packages of 6. I pay I believe $3.49 for a half dozen. The price has remained fairly steady. I could have purchased a dozen eggs, different brand, for $2.00 yesterday. I definitely hear what you are saying. But I have yet to see the extreme shortages all the preppers are talking about. Higher prices, absolutely. I pray you are wrong. I pray all the shortage predictions I'm hearing are wrong. Personally I think they for the most part will be. Why? The economy is on the verge of slowing down dramatically. While people have to eat and drive, they will change how they spend money. Demand destruction is about to take place in a very big way. Let's keep the government out of things and let market forces rebalance what's out of whack. I do not follow any preppers. You were calm and explained you reasoning. I'm guessing you are a farmer or at least live and work in a farm community. I'm going to subscribe to your stream. I'm very interested in first hand accounts.

THANK YOU!!!! Unfortunately, I live under conditions that make food storage of any significant size impossible. This video can still help even me. I will heed your warning and change what I can store!

I live in a very small home, too. You've got more space than you might realize! Use the space under the bed, and any other furniture tall enough. Look into sturdy shelves above doors, windows, beds, etc. Put shelves in a corner, and in windows. Use hooks or hanging baskets on your doors to store towels or something else light to make more room in other places. Under stairs, over stairs, and stuff canned in metal or glass can be stored in a crawl space or anywhere out direct sunlight. Just don't forget that rodents can and will chew through anything that isn't glass or metal. And given enough time, they'll get through metals, too. Even non food items aren't safe from those little buggers. 😊

Been preparing for this shortage for two years now. We can, dehydrate and our best investment was a freeze dryer. Also been preparing for those who may "try" to take it from us. Having a well stocked pantry means nothing if you can't protect it from theft.

Jokes on you nothing can stop the zombies.

We started our backyard garden in 2020, to stay busy and have something productive to do with our nervous energy. We're in our 3rd year now and expanded to the front yard, eventually we won't have anymore grass as our garden takes over. We also have laying chickens for the first time this year. You don't have to panic and do everything to prepare right now if you don't have the time or money, but don't let that stop you from starting. I'm glad we did 2 years ago. Five years from now when our garden is more mature and our fruit trees are producing I will be so happy I started in 20202.

You're also not the only channel who's read that comment. There have been other farmers who have said the same. More people will be looking after themselves and their own families now and I'm grateful for this content to help us prepare.

I have been watching this coming for years. As the American farmer wrapped his production in the swaddling of petroleum products and big business consolidated suppliers into limited sources this was written in stone. I'm a retired organic farmer and the only way we can go forward in agriculture is to embrace organic practices. For thousands of years we fertilized our crops with the wastes we and our stock produced. Now they gather it in ponds and pump it into idle fields or sewage treatment plants. Many such practices have been turned into a petroleum intensive process. Organic farming offers many answers to our food needs but it won't be able to change fast enough.

We were a small free range egg producer here in Australia. We had about 2 thousand girls in chicken caravans on 150 acres. We stopped farming eggs about 4 years ago as the price of feed just went crazy. The price of every input over the last 4 years on the farm has more than doubled here in Australia…some times it’s tripled but the public expect to pay the same as they always did and moan about even a 50 cent price increase…well, now they are moaning about not getting any eggs at all. My message is…START LOOKING AFTER YOUR LOCAL FARMERS…OR YOU WILL HAVE NONE.

A bit of advice from this Hunter Valley Aussie farmer. We have had to increase our beef prices, our hay prices our egg price to reflect the almost doubling cost of our inputs in the last few years. The only way to provide food affordably is to cut down on those inputs and use more of the resources at hand. Use the tractor sparingly, cut out expensive often unnecessary fertilizers, put up with and utlize weeds not as an enemy but a support system as far as possible. Food costs a hell of a lot to produce at the primary source and only by constant thinking and planning can the farmer afford to get it to the customers table, especially if he cultivates a direct relationship with the consumer and cuts out the midd

Many of us with a wealth of years behind us have marveled over the era of ease and affluence of the last 20 years or so. Back when I was a kid most households had very little discretionary income and made every penny count. Vegetable gardens were common as house cats. And so, this is not a time to fret but a time to rethink our lives and make the proper adjustments. We sure didn't have all shiny stuff and toys that people have today but I think we were a lot happier. Therefore, plant a garden and get a few laying hens; making our households more self-sufficient is profitable in various ways. And if you haven't got a well-stocked pantry there's no better time to start; it's good sense to have a supply of the foods we eat on a regular basis.

In a nutshell, people are and have not been paying attention to what's going on in the world for years. This is understandable as it's been work, work, work to make ends meet. People not paying attention to what's going on in politics, schools, medical industry etc. has put us all in this position. You are doing a great job of getting the news out there.
