I’m in Southwest Kansas & it’s true. The wheat crop is awful. About a couple months ago we took a short drive around some of the farms, I was literally sick, nauseated at how bad the fields looked. I asked if the fields had been sprayed to kill everything & the answer was no, it died from no moisture. I don’t remember it ever looking that bad. We hadn’t had any moisture in over a year, back in October 2022 we had 1 rainfall of 0.35”. Yea, we measure our rain in 100th’s.
It was so dry, that dirt was blowing & piling up OVER 5 wire barbwire fences (fences with 5 rows of barbwire, that is about 5’ tall). Ranchers were selling their cows & calves. We sold an old bag of bones cow & when we pulled into the sale barn, there were 2 large trailers full of cows. I asked the cowboy working there & he said farmers were selling off their cows& calves, due to no pasture or feed. However, at that time prices were still good, as buyers were taking them to places that had lots of rain. Surprisingly our old cow brought over twice what we figured she’d bring
We kept our fingers crossed & prayed constantly that we could hold on for another year, but still planned to sell at least 1/2 of our herd. God answered our prayers & we’ve been getting rain. The pastures are greening up, so hoping we’ll last at least another year. The rain is nowhere near what we need to end this drought, but Praise the Lord for every drop he has blessed us with ❤️❤️🙏🙏
🙏🙏🙏
Prayers for everyone 🙏
New dust bowl! Wow!!
Thank you for the information. Just know that I'm praying for you and all the farmers every day! 🙏❤🙏
We're looking at the same thing, looking at selling some of our mini cow's, goat's & babies, because of lack at grass on our property & my parent's (in a different town) & pig's (they just get grain).
He who controls the Food, controls the PEOPLE!
Thay also control the weather..
HAARP & DARPA
He who controls the weather controls the world.
This!! 💯
@@Trish.... Bio-engineering?
@@Trish.... and we know that they're messing with our weather through cloud seeding / chemtrails.
Patara, I was at Walmart doing my weekly grocery shopping and in the bread isle, this tiny little old woman came up behind me and asked "is there any cheap bread anymore?"
I said, no ma'am, i don't think there is. She told me that she could no longer afford the kind of bread she really likes. This made me really sad. We're talking about bread here, not booze or getting her nails done. BREAD!
I asked her to point out the brand she likes and I took it to self checkout. Whats even more upsetting is that right now it's bread, but what is it going to be later? Medication?
Times are already so hard for so many people. I dont want to think about what its going to look like soon.
We're in Indiana and we're personally seeing medication shortages. Pain medication, certain antibiotics , nausea medicine, and I heard ADHD medication is nowhere to be found in my area. Rent is almost twice as high as it was 3 years ago
The older people...I am one....we are considered to be "Useless eaters" if we can't work
oh its been medication for a long time now
Everyone really needs to take these stories seriously. Be ready before reality smacks the sheep in the face. Be a lion, not a sheep.
Another favorite you tuber here❤
Watched you on the way to work today 👍.
AMEN!!
Sheep have better spines of discernment though! These are called ZOMBIES !!!!!!!!
We are wheat farmers from South Central Kansas. Even though we have gotten very good rains recently, it was too late for the wheat. To raise good wheat, you need to have ample rain to bring it up by December then snow or rain in January and February. We are abandoning our crop because the yield per acre is so low, it would cost us more to cut it than it is worth. Therefore, we take the crop insurance and plant a spring seeded crop or roll the dice again in the fall and plant wheat again. We are allowed to either graze or hay the wheat, but we are not allowed to cut any grain off of it once you take the federal crop insurance. For us, it is a drought thing. We are still in a hard-core D3 drought where we live. Our weather pattern seems to be changing so we are hopeful to raise grain or forage sorghum this summer.
Thank you for explaining the federal crop insurance for folks. Many do not comprehend that.
@@P2Zip , LOVE Ryan - he's great!
ALLOWED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Prayers for you
Thanks for this knowledge. Totally new to this. Been offered a farm land lease and was planning to plant wheat (oz based)
Last year we sold our dream home and moved into our RV full time.6 months in Michigan and 6 months in TX.Being debt free is an amazing feeling
I know , I am debt free too
I am thinking nomad might make more sense.
But how do you allow for parking at night??
And long term. Had problems with that years ago.
@@pi1810 They are most likely at an RV park in each of those locations. These places can be difficult to find and, of course, there is a fee. A relative of mine did this in her 70's! I give her props for driving that huge thing down south, but there were many details she did not know about until after she did it.
We've been in ours for 7 years now. Can't travel any more in it, so we bought an acre lot. Just waiting for the septic and electric and we'll be staying put. Gas is too high to travel any more. We love our state of Arizona, and there's lots of free boondocking opportunities out here. Go to higher elevations in summertime.
@@user-il1bv3lc2h Have you checked out Arizona?
It makes me sad to hear these stories of seniors who are struggling. We live in sad times. Thanks, Patara.
My first thought was how can I send these people some $. Then I realized my elderly mom in Florida is probably going to write me soon about her struggles. 😢
Yes, My husband & I had to leave FL in 2017 because the rents started to go sky high. We were there almost 20 years and when we first went there the rents were not high. I miss Fl but would be homeless if we stayed. We came back to the state we had family and found senior housing. There is hardly any senior housing in FL and lots of seniors are there.
@@SwissMiss138can she live with you
@@barbaraingram5147 unfortunately, no. We live in Europe.
For those who know seniors, please have them contact their states Dept on Aging.
I work for electric company. 90 people fired last week. Also others offered early retirement. When it hits electric company, the country is in deep trouble. Prepare and brace yourself.
How are they still going to keep the company going?
I had two men from the electric company at my house about a month back. They told me they were checking their lines for scrap copper.
I live in Oregon. We are hearing to prepare for grid down sometime this summer
Where are you located?
Tell those fired or laid-off to file for unemployment insurance benefits. The employer should have told them.
Pre-COVID I helped a mom and her children . They were not homeless , she had a sign saying they needed help . She didn’t speak English . Well because of the children , I stopped and helped her . I don’t speak Spanish , but we managed to communicate with one another . First thing I did was get food from a nearby restaurant for her and the children . Then I bought diapers and wipes for the youngest child and snacks and drinks for the other children . I was on my way to the grocery store when I saw her . After doing that I did my shopping for my family . I’m glad that I was able to help . I have come very close to being homeless myself .
I signed an illegal lease to avoid being homeless
Bless you sis!
Have found myself unemployed at 50. With grown daughter living at home. I also have 2 boys 7 & 9. Last year I left a 911 dispatcher position after 6 yrs, stress was killing me. I cashed out the little retirement I had, couple K and was smart enough to buy a travel trailer....JUST IN CASE. My daughter is currently paying the bills and takes most of what she makes, she has a good job for the area. But company is about to go bankrupt. We have talked in the last week about moving into the trailer. It is what I bought it for....just in case. I never dreamed just in case could be this soon...& I've prepped for years, that is what has been and will be our saving grace.
❤️
Bless you.
My dad was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and he and my mom are moving in with us so we can keep them safe. They are 85
Just wanted to send my encouragement to you. ❤ My mom is 90 with advanced dementia and my dad is 86 (and wearing very thin trying to care for her). I’m helping as best I can but also working full time as my husband lost his job last summer. I wish you all the best. They are blessed to have you! 🙏🏻
Please also check with your states Dept on Aging to see if you are eligible for assistance.
Being 70 and living on $900/mo, I don't know what I'd do if I didn't own my 1880ish house (needing lots of work) and have my youngest grown son here to help out! I am blessed!!
Thanks Patara 🤗❤️
So nice to have his company I can imagine as well. You must have been a great mom for him to want to be there with you. Great to hear!
@@hope4humanity222 Yes it is... thank you ❤️
I don't know what is going on in Kansas, but here in middle Tennessee, most of my neighbors planted wheat crops this year, and it's growing really pretty. Prayers for Kansas. Middle Tennessee is doing okay.
I've noticed alot of wheat fileds in middle TN to...
Love living in middle TN😍
Me too!
I'm in the process of downsizing my mom and move her in with us. Lot rent in her 55 and older community in FL keeps going up. She couldn't afford groceries or anything else after bills. It became too hard for me to buy groceries for 2 households. Happy about our decision and to have her with us.
Here in Kansas, central, we just got a beautiful slow rain, an 1". Thank you Father. The wheat is in the budding stage, this is the time. From here to June we need the spring rains. Slow, not gully washers. This is our storm season coming up. But all of this is shifting east and north, thus the drought we have seen. The next month will determine the harvest. Please ask the Lord to let His rain fall on the just, and the unjust. Ask Him to bless the bread basket. We are at the time now that it's critical. Another go round of drought would be devastating. Barrowing to plant winter wheat this fall, and praying for a harvest next year. Wheat is one shot folks, there is no second cutting. He always provides, and always looks over us. I ain't tilling under anything yet.... just saying.....
Amen and praying Amen!!!🙏🕊❤
Prayed for you.

If Hubby and I don't receive our SS we are definitely out of a place to go. We are in our 60's . I know we aren't the only ones.
My hubby and I too.
Praying for you and your husband . We are in our 60s also . Situation os getting stressfull.
No…your not alone dear….me too
Me too but I’m alone
I’m 73, and dependent on SS after suffering severe financial losses. Prayers for you, and all God’s people.
I’m planning on my 86 year old grandmother moving in with us. She’s fine right now but I’m more worried about her being targeted. I have no problem with the multigenerational home. My adult sons are welcome. Whatever it takes to keep moving forward.
That’s how European households are
Oldest son and his gf live with us and and our other 3 sons. My youngest son's gf will be coming in August...we all pool our resources and make it work.
Please also check your states Dept on Aging for additional assistance.
I’ll tell you when I went to the fruit stand on Sunday and they had watermelons for $10.00 each…..I came home and planted watermelon! Prices are out of sight….
I’m from central Florida and have been in Agriculture for 13+ years. I’ve never seen anything in our area this bad. Major drought and something is being sprayed. The landscaping is affected in multiple counties. This resulted in fruit trees producing dried, brown produce. A couple weeks ago something was sprayed overnight and the next day I had edible plants brown and dried up. Crisp. Even the natives are coming out dry and looking very bad. It’s a massive concern for growers and for everyone. We all eat food and if our crops don’t produce we have serious problems. We already having starving, homeless all around and to think our food supply is being negatively affected is a major concern. I’m documenting the damage to the landscaping in the tri county area of Tampa Bay. It’s time for greenhouses to protect our food from outside variables we can’t control. Prayers for everyone and their garden.
We are in North Central FL and see so many chemtrails everyday.
Can you ask your Gov to stop the cem trailing. I think he maybe able to pass a law to prevent it, since he’s a conservative. I live in CA lots of spraying
My daughter has a friend whose husband is not on board with her “prepping “ in any way. She is about to rent a storage unit & prep on her on. I am so thankful for my husband!!!
Please remind her to get a temperature controlled unit. 💝
He will thank her one day.
I’m in Oklahoma. Not a wheat farmer, BUT we have had LARGE amounts of rain (in very short periods of time) over the last few weeks. Major hail storms and several tornadoes.
Have noticed a lot of chem trails in the skies lately.
Patera- keep doing what you’re doing! We appreciate you!!
Same here in South Texas.
We are getting hit in every direction.
Same in Kansas. But it's drying up fast.
I used to live in Oklahoma wheat country. Enid, OK. I have family there.
HAARP & DARPA.
I'm a trucker, and I've driven through the back roads of Kansas, and YES, it has been extremely dry there for the past couple years. Not quite the dust bowl, but close to it.
I think another point to touch on would be the massive invasion of illegals immigrants. The few resources available for the elderly and those who are Turkey in need will be gone. Our public schools and hospitals local sr offices, all over run and resources gone. Between the Kansas (and others) with wheat, the inflation, the soon to be housing walk away and the illegals… I do not foresee a “fix” anytime soon. So sad that too many don’t see this.
Illinois is a sanctuary state, Chicago is getting an influx of illegals, and they will soon start spreading them around. We already have so many homeless people that we can't care for all of them. Many families and seniors doing without.
Noticed shrinkflation at Sam's club today. They went from a 10 pack of soup to an 8 pack for the same price of the 10 pack a few months ago. We are in a world of hurt coming up!
Gain laundry detergent now seems more watery - noticed that today, yet it costs more.
Everything is going up daily it seems
@@Trish.... there are plenty of ways to make laundry detergent on line! Also dishwasher detergent! My daughter makes hers!
I noticed that, too, with other products. Fewer ounces for a higher price. I’m even more careful when I shop now. But some things are unavoidable, you’ve gotta have them.
I had read about cream of chicken soup becoming scarce and when I went to Sam's last week they had none.
My husband is 72 years old and still having to work full time job with no hope in retiring. We can't survive if he doesn't keep working and we are debt free. I hear these same stories more and more.
Yes we are wheat farmers in North central Kansas. Their will be very very little wheat from Texas to Kansas. It is exceptionally dry here. We are in drought for more than a year
Praying for your family. Bless you 🙏🏻
We've only had about an inch and a half of rain in the last couple of weeks and nothing is showing up in the future.
Good luck and God bless
Praying for you and all our farmers and all those who feed America
Is it safe to eat recleaned wheat feed?
I want my family to move home and we will face this together. Our chances are better as 1
Here in Alberta, Canada, the skies were flooded with cloud seeding or Geo Engineering which many believe have caused the loss of rain and then fires were "allowed" to happen.
The smoke from Canadian fires is all the way down to Texas.
Hi from Edmonton!🤗
@@salonsavy6476 Hello!
the smoke from Canada is so thick in Colorado today we have to keep the windows closed. We live about 10 miles east of Pikes Peak and its 14000 feet we can't see the Mountain
Awful!
I'm in that same situation. I get in just over 900 a month. New people bought the park and raised my rent by 130 per month. My mortgage is almost paid off, but I can't pay both every month. Im within 2500 of paying off my mortgage. So afraid of losing it all. My ebt now only covers 2 1/2 weeks of food. Peace and safe blessings.
🙏🙏 to you Marie
🙏🕊❤
🙏🏼
Praying
Please look into assistance in your area. Everything from food pantries to LiHeap for utilities. You are so close to paying it off, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. 🙏
I was homeless. It was horrible, especially in winter.
We just bought a home with land more remote than our mid florida home. Its going to house 11 off the bat. Thats 4 generations. We feel the call to ramp up our preparedness and 1 acre in urban fl. Is being traded for 16 acres in a rural town of 700
BIG BIG trouble in Italy.
Lots of fields got destroyed.
IT will last for 3-5 years.
How were they destroyed?
🙏✝️❤️
Time to bring our seniors home to live as the extended family, again.
Circle the wagons.
Here in Illinois- wheat is about knee high right now & beautiful green fields. If many states are not planting it- the price will be awesome for the ones who do farm it. We’ve never had wheat in our personal fields, the farmer who farms it only rotates corn & beans. I live in a small county & we’ve already been hit with factories closing so no layoffs here. Every plumber, electrician, etc is hiring- even Walmart. They can’t find people to work. Sad state this country is in. Praying that 2024 changes things. 🙏🏼
Can't get hired at walmart in West-Bend WI, due to technical difficulties.
yep.
How are people eating if they don't work 😳 the govt can't take care of everyone?
How many people who want to work are unable to because the clot shot has made them sick?
@@sharlenepage1572 And if the new federal budget includes some of the rules the GOP in the House want, you won't get SNAP without working. Sort of a vicious cycle.
Our elderly need to pool resources and move in together.
Great in theory but how?
One bedroom at $900 plus?
The reality sucks
That is not safe.
My sister and I moved in together and it has helped.
I'm an Elder alone out here on West Coast. Calif. Waiting for all this to worsen. Earthquakes are everywhere and The Huge one is On its way. Scared but Keeping my Faith.
I Agree
I go to the store every two weeks. I pick up can goods. I get fruit, and veggies. I also pick up hamburger, chicken that I am canning. I have my garden. I will be picking bean's soon. I will be picking pickles soon to pickle sweet pickles and bread and butter pickles. I am buying what I can every two weeks, even cleaning supplies. We all need to help each other.
The unemployment is only counting those who are collecting. Once their benefits run out, they stop counting them in umemployment numbers.
The cloud seeding in my area is nearly daily now. It’s so egregious they do this so often and think we don’t notice it.
Here in the desert surrounding Yuma the fields have been full of wheat since the winter vegetable season ended. We grow 98% of Americas vegatables in the winter. Now that the wheat is done it's on to melons, corn, alfalfa, Sudan grass, and cotton. Our fields are never fallow. Our farms follow the rivers from just outside Phoenix across the border into Imperial County in CA. We depend on the rivers, our canal system rivaling the Nile. So pray for the end to the horrible drought the west has been suffering. This winters record snowpack is a drop in the bucket to what's needed to save us.
I have noticed how many seniors who are 65+ are working in the stores where I live. It has noticeably increased lately.
I’ve been driving for Door Dash full time since my husband lost his job last summer. I’m always taken aback when I see “grandmas and grandpas” also picking up/delivering orders (I’m 53). They should be home enjoying their retirement years. 😕 I’ve befriended one gentleman who said he and his wife are retired and were doing ok…but not anymore. He works a few days a week to keep the bills paid now.
I live in Houston. A good friend has a family farm in Kansas. She told me a few days ago that they haven’t had a wheat harvest because of a 5 yr drought and that none of the other wheat farmers have had crops either. She is trying to plant corn because it’s a “fast crop”
Every time I empty one of the big kitty litter jugs I wash it out with Dawn and a little bleach fill it up with water and store it
YES.
Awesome
I'm going to get more White Lily flour tomorrow for storing in the freezer. I make biscuits and bread. Can't do without flour. Thank you for the heads-up dear one.
Can you just keep it in a deep feezer
@@joyce9523 Yes, I've stored it that way a long time. I put mine in Gallon freezer bags. Oatmeal, and rice too..
@@joyce9523 yes, actually. Keeps great. So does rice and oatmeal. I'm in southwest Louisiana, rice country, but I'd rather have enough to share than see shortages in the months to come.
@@debbieriddle9429 yes, that's exactly how I do it.
@@debbieriddle9429 bless you thank you so much ❤️
I remember my parents talking about their grandparents living with them. It was how people made it. They didn't have livong rooms, they were used for bed rooms.
My brother lived in my living room for 8 years. He finally got married and moved out. He's in his 60s.
I'm 56 and I remember going to my Dad's parents home back in the 70's. Their bed was in the living room with the couch recliners & TV.. The 4 boys had 2 double beds in 1 room and the 2 girls had a room.
Growing up every family in our rural area, had an elder family member living with them. It benefited the whole family.
Evening Patara. We've prepped some wheat berries, but could use more. Stacking rice and oats too. Also popcorn. Just when I feel we have enough put back news like this comes out. We have between 2-3yrs food and meds put back.
Thank yoy for the information.
Remember ya'll to Pray, Plan, Prep
PREP FOR ETERNITY♥️♥️♥️ THE PROVERBIAL TRUCK IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER.

As hard as this info is to hear, these videos are my favorite ones that you do. I am so grateful for the “boots on the ground” real sharing about what people are going through. I love the comment above from Florida where she points out how risky farming is. We romanticize it, but it actually is horribly risky for those who do it for a living. We need these people so very much, but they are just SOL when things go wrong. Thanks so much for caring for the homeless guy and his dogs!
I believe that everyone should be learning old school preparation , especially parents with large families
Hi Patera, I live in Australia. I live along the south eastern seaboard. I am concerned about our crops as well. We are cross seasoned to the folks in the northern hemisphere. We have had so much rain and flooding. We have literally not had a summer. We have seen inflation similar to the USA and in Europe. Almost every time I go to the supermarket the prices have jumped again. Meat, yoghurt, cheese, cereals, milk. If I did not have an Aldi, for the fresh produce I don't know what I would do. I have all quite a bit of shelf stable food which I had started a preppers pantry just at the beginning of covid. It has proven to be a great thing as a hedge against inflation. Not much has come out of our back yard garden. Raspberries have been good growing in a large container. We got 3 small pumpkins, 5 kilos of potatoes and about 10 tomatoes. I have been told we were lucky just to get the tomatoes.
Tomatoes are out of season but about 6 mths ago some farmers were warning expect a struggle accessing them due to the floods that occurred in nsw districts
Continued prayers for you!!
It's absolutely disgusting what's happening in this country. It's been happening for a decade or two but really rampant now. The morals of this country have gone down the toilet. This country has lost its values and devil is working Overtime. I pray America wakes up before its too late. God Bless you and Stay safe
When you see a line of people waiting for the church food pantry to open like I do every Tuesday in a middle class neighborhood here in Chicago you know times are hard! And they only let people from our zip code in so these are people from our neighborhood!
It’s the same at our church food pantry. Although we serve our entire town & we definitely aren’t the only food pantry around. But we are steadily seeing a lot more uptick in not just our regular clients, but many new ones. I really wish some of them would come in every 2 weeks like they’re allowed … b/c they will definitely need it in the upcoming months…
2 broody hens sitting on eggs. Building a maternity ward for them today. Exciting, hoping for many hens
Let the hens lay and eat the 🐓roosters. Hard truth cause I'm in same boat.
@@tasberry4445 which is why I would like to get a buff orpington rooster and two hens to compliment my existing flock
I’m in western Kansas and we are in a SEVERE DROUGHT!
We have gotten rains in surrounding areas just recently but way too late for the wheat.
And it’s not just the wheat crop affected.
Our pastures are decimated! My pastures are normally lush but last year it was so dry our Buffalo grass never greened up or grew! We sold cattle to save grass for this year. Hubby decided to retire in December so I rented my grass to my son & grandson. Hopefully they will be able to save part if their herd.
Praying that we receive rain this week as forecasted & that our farmers can raise some fall crops. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Tough times folks! Stay prayed up & prepped. ♥️
It’s going to be interesting to see how Ohio does this year after the spill and fire… praying for God to bless our crops and where we can help others we can bless them too.
Praying!!!🙏🕊❤
"They" sure pushed East Palestine's situation out of the news fast.
Keep sharing, Patara! Still so many thinking everything is "normal."
The rent issue seems like price gouging, and I would encourage the eighty- year- old to contact the Attorney General of their state.
My rent went up $200.00 last year and is going up again this year. I live in 55 and over.
*either
Taxation is price gouging - perhaps attorney generals will look into this
The rent gouging is Happening everywhere all over the country. No government entities are doing anything about it
Maybe in some cases, but you have to remember that taxes and insurance are through the roof, as are maitenance costs. Landlords are getting hit hard and passing it on in their rental rates.
My 85 yr old mother is struggling with only SS. She wants her independence, but if she can’t make it, she knows we’ll move her here.
Before Dad died I promised him I’d see that Mom is taken care of and I WILL keep that promise!
Please check with your states Dept on Aging for assistance.
Also, there are more stores closing their doors, more people applying for the jobs that are available. My daughter and son-in- law live next door to us on our "farm". They have all three of their adult children living at home with them. Two of them have a spouse and one of them has a toddler. Essentially, they have 8-people living under one roof and all of them are under my husband and I's protection.
Bless you 🙏
Patara, I'm living in Oklahoma, and have experienced extreme drought, and heavy winds which have caused issues with the growth of wheat in north, central, and west Oklahoma. In fact, 53% of the wheat grown has been rated POOR or Very POOR condition. Wheat prices will go up due to limited harvests.
This will not only affect the wheat used for human foods (bread, cereal, crackers, cakes, pies ect). It will affect paper, insulation, animal bedding, certain over the counter supplements/meds, ect (when using wheat straw).
Source for info: The Oklahoman
**Also we've even had some major wild fires which have caused problems.
Prayers for us all.
My daughter and grandson lost there home and had to move in with us. Our taxes are unreal! We appealed and got turned down. We're on Disability in our 70s and inflation and property taxes are literally taking us out! I have no idea how we are going to survive! Our property took went up over 600%!!!! Doing all i can and praying!!!
We farm in NW Kansas. Most of the wheat fields have been totaled a disaster secondary to the drought. We had to sell most of our cows do to the drought as well. That was heart breaking. It will take a long time for our pastures to get back to normal
This makes me so sad to hear the problems you and your area are experiencing. My prayers are for you!!! 🙏❤️
We just dug out a brand new 3000 sq ft garden and it's almost completely planted! Hitting it hard every single day.
It is happening all over the world. Praying we do not have a world wide famine. Trying g to stock up.
My 2 chicks came home and one is in guest house and one in her 5TH wheel rv. All of us are gardening hunting and preping. Tribe you can trust is so important!
Here in Oklahoma we've been in a drought for the last few years looks like it will continue this year, had storms but not a lot of soaking rain especially in the northwest and panhandle farming and ranches areas, I live in more central Oklahoma, been having some trouble with the water table if my neighbor uses water for any length of time 5 acres away my water stops running don't know what I am going to do if could cause a cave in or burn up my pump, have lived here over 20 years never had problems before God help us all
Reading these comments and watching Patara has left me very very sad because I can see this happening in Australia where I live too .
🙏🙏
Hello Patara. I have finally planted a few tomato plants, potatoes, and corn here in West Virginia. I have six sweet potato slips yet to plant. I'm also a part of the Cherokee heritage and proud of it. Thanks for being a scrapper!!
The struggle is real!
Thank you for the update. I’m working on my garden. One of the wood sides of a raised garden bed was rotting at the corners. I priced out the lumber to replace that board, and decided to figure out a way to repair it instead. If it lasts one more year, I will be happy. If it lasts longer than that, I will be ecstatic!
Maybe you could drive around and find somewhere that they have paletes because you could pull them apart and fix your garden with it. Around here they give them to you for free. Just a thought ❤.

I retired in 2019 from the transportation department of a school district. 43 years with the same transportation department! I worked in the shop the entire time!
Went back to drive part time! Just for somethng in the morings.
But every school districts need drivers and starting pay is $18.00 per hour for newly trained drivers.
It's a very hard job because the children are disrespectful, violent, lawless. I know because I'm a teacher. I can't imagine dealing with traffic and these horrible children at the same time. Plus your back is to the children which means anything can happen. Try teaching ESL online from your home. And a special thanks to all our school bus drivers! Your job is tough and without you there wouldn't be school because the students would be stuck at home. 💐
@@happycook6737 You are 100% correct.
I've actually been involved with this school district since 1974 when we first moved to Texas.
I started 8th grade in the 74/75 school year and have been a student or employee, continuously since that first year all the way to this year even though I retired in 2019.
Plus my mother retired from the same school district. The sad part, the people in the administration building don't even know either of us exist!
But any way when they took the paddle out of school, that was the beginning of the end!
I only drive in the mornings, so they are somewhat comatose at that time!
@@charlesfoster8814Your last sentence is so true. And after an afternoon session, you go home with ringing in your ears as all 44 to 66 kids are all yelling at the same time.
Hi, Patara ! Thank you for all the information you share with us. They are going to try and starve you out.
still working at 66 and pushing it in the medical field as a sterile processor. Thank god for my job. don't know how long i'm going to work, but i was going to retire in a couple of years. now i don't know. i'll keep going until my body breaks down. i keep prepping and putting away what i can. God bless you! L from Nashville, TN.
I worked until I was 70. Quit to be caregiver for late dh. After he passed, I wished I had a job to go to, but I've adjusted and now love being home alone. I work hard to live on SS and not go into savings knowing there is no way to replace emergency funds.
Western Oklahoma here, we were in a bad drought until a month ago. The wheat around this part is pretty much done for. What wheat has turned out decent is baled up for hay due to the drought last summer and winter. However, our farm was blessed with a good crop for hay compared to others. The USDA is giving out programs for the non insurance crop. I think a lot of farmers signed up for it. So yes, the wheat crop is horrible in the western half of Oklahoma.
Another Aussie here, we love your videos. Thank you for the information you put out there. 😊
Sending well wishes from USA 🇺🇸 to Australia 🇦🇺
Greetings to our Allies in Australia! My Dad was born in 1936 used to sing: "Tie me kangaroo down, sport...Tie me kangaroo down"! Dad was silly, sometimes.🇺🇸 😎👍☕
God bless you, and thank you for all the information you give us. Thankfully, I got a grain mill and berries last year. Breaks my heart at what has happened to this country in such a short time. But, the Bible told us it was coming.
I did the same thing with a grain mill and berries. Need to make sure my kids and grandkids are provided for once they are fully awake! I have also been trying different recipes using freshly milled wheat. It's all a learning curve but I'm getting there. BTW I am 72 and still learning!
@Mary0005able me too. Well 72 and learn something everyday.
Me too, got a grain mill in March and berries.
I just want to hug these people. I've been laid off so many times. I get it.
I have stocked up on dehydrated vegetables from a place called Harmony House. Easy to store. Easy to use
I have been gardening since Covid and this is the first year that I have gotten a harvest besides basil. I have so much respect for farmers now and realize it wasn’t my fault. Last year we had a drought in central Texas and this year we are having great rain. I am definitely getting some rain tanks to water my garden. Farming seems more like gambling.
Thanks Patara for the news, here in Michigan my father tells us that Michigan still has not received enough rain, and doesn't look good, I have seen many fields with nothing except last year's dead corn in them, I have seen some fields with the growth of some beans and hay and apple orchards. I have a small garden, planning to buy an apple tree. All utilities, food, mortgage and fuel have tripled since 2021 praying for strength to keep going. God Bless you and your family.
Wisconsin here. Our ground has big cracks in it. Moving the garden this year. Praying for good growth.
🙏🙏🙏
I am here in SE Kansas. We have had a lot of drought but some rain has helped us out. For a while we couldn't melt a rain if we had to. The fields right her around my house look pretty good. We have had some army worms here the last couple of weeks and I am surprised that the tenant to the land has not sprayed for them. Maybe the input has already reached the limit. I know western Kansas has been hit really had. I did see a field about 6 miles north of the house that looked really sorry. So much more could happen to the remainder of the crop. People have to remember, the crop is not in the bin yet.
I am in Missouri and I know several farmers here that have sprayed their wheat to kill it because it's not going to make. After it dies they till it and get another crop (corn or beans) planted while they still have time.
Great. Raising food in Roundup contaminated dirt.
We are going to get my Mom in June to stay with us, for a month or so. For ever long it helps her out
Tribe up, folks. We'll all have to work together to get through this.
Setbacks this year are numerous. I lost pear, peaches, apples, plums, lemons, persimmons and blueberries due to a late frost. All vegetables are behind in germination. Some are germinating with previously sown crops after I put more seeds in the ground. It will be an interesting year.
Yes my plants are growing slow !
No peaches for me this year either due to late frost.
Patera, I live in Kansas City, Kansas & I notice when I & my brother have gone to the City Market on Sundays as my Shabbat is from Sundown Friday to Sundown Saturday. The Farmers that are usually there selling their fresh vegetables, fruits, herbs, chicken, beef, lamb, & pork have been kinda scarce which is totally unusual for the season. The quality of their products is not what we are & the other customers have become accustomed to from these Farmers. The organic meat that they are selling is higher than the grocery store's organic meat. Something is definitely amiss with the Farmers. We will continue to support these Farmer's(& some of their descendants & new ones) & Shop Owners(& some of their descendants & new ones) at our City Market; because before the major worldwide Lollipop manufacturers shut down & individuals worldwide had to get additional lollipops in order to keep their jobs & or hired for new jobs. The Farmers & City Market Shop Owners are very fair & honest with their regular & new minority customers. If for some reason their regular customers were short on funds on that particular day(s) they would not turn them away. The Farmer's(& some of their descendants & new Farmers) & Shop Owners(& some of their descendants & new Shop Owners) understood/understand & would still sell them the produce/meat/needed & need shop merchandise for the finances they had& have available. In addition to giving those regular customers(s) additional produce/meat/needed hop merchandise & informing them that when their financial situation(s) changed they could pay them the balance that was owed for the produce/meat/shop(s) merchandise. The Farmer's & Shop Owners did not charge their regular customer(s) & now some of their descendants(current) for the extra produce/meat/needed shop merchandise they gave them during their financial problems. Their regular customers & (now some of their descendants still in the Kansas City, Kansas/Kansas City, Missouri areas) continued(& continue) to patronize the Farmers(now some of their descendants & new ones) & Shop Owners(now some of their descendants & new ones) in addition to referring new customer(s) to them that are able to shop on some Wednesdays, Saturdays, & Sundays at the City Market when purchasing produce/meat/shop merchandise. That was the way it use(but currently is now) to be when my brother & I were growing up as children/youth/young adults & families of color(Coloreds/Negroes). In addition, to the Indigenous Individuals & Families that were Legally Classified by the Federal Government(& their Census Bureau) as (Actual Indians/Native Americans that were also Coloreds/Negroes ) & Hispanic/Latin Americans, & Jews(Ashkenazi, Sephardim that looked like Coloreds/Negroes, as well as the Indigenous Legally Classified by the Federal Government(& their Census Bureau) as Actual Indians/Native Americans (who were also Colored/Negroes) were actually allowed to enter the Kansas City, Missouri's City Market & purchase produce/meat/needed shop(s) merchandise. However, during these times the same individuals immediately listed above were also allowed to help the Farmers & City Market Shop Owners in unloading & loading their produce/meat/& shop merchandise without any doubts and/or suspicions of theft or any other immoral & unethical behavior from those workers who were paid in produce/meat/needed shop merchandise. If all of the ethnicities & races do not come together to fight the powers that be during this inflation & soon-to-be recession that also separates the HAVE & HAVE NOTS in the entire world. This entire world IS GOING TO HELL IN A HANDBASKET mankind can actually see the BIBLICALLY PROPHESIED EXAMPLES THAT THE EARTH IS CURRENTLY GROANING & DISPLAYING because of the DEFILED BLOOD THAT HAS BEEN SPILLED ON THE ENTIRE EARTH. AS THE OLD FOLKS USE TO SAY "THE CHICKENS ARE COMING HOME TO ROOST" THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE WORLD. THIS ENTIRE WORLD IS PERISHING whether an individual(s) and/or families have PREPPED OR NOT. Those that were/are wealthy & rich that PREPPED & OR PREPPING & PURCHASING ALL OF THESE UNDERGROUND BUNKERS FAIL TO REALIZE THAT THOSE SAME UNDERGROUND BUNKERS WILL BE THEIR ACTUAL GRAVES via FLOODS/EARTHQUAKES/FIRES/HOT FLOWING LAVA/NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST because mankind cannot PREPP ENOUGH FOR WHEN SHTFT and TRULY FAILS TO REALIZE THAT THE MOST HIGH IS STILL IN CONTROL & NOTHING HAPPENS IN THE WORLD WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION OR COMMANDMENTS. WE ARE ACTUALLY LIVING IN THE END TIMES & THE SOON COMING RETURN OF JESUS THE CHRIST(a.k.a., Yeshua HaMashiach). MANKIND FAILS TO REALIZE THAT THEY CAN RUN ALL THEY WANT BUT CANNOT HIDE FROM THE MOST HIGH=NO EXCEPTIONS. THE MOST HIGH'S WORDS WILL NOT RETURN TO HIM VOID. THEY WILL ACCOMPLISH WHAT HE SET THEM TO DO=NO EXCEPTIONS. Shalom!
We live in NE Indiana. The “new” meters are coming! We got a letter the other day concerning our water, that the “new” meters are now being installed in our area. There is no opting out what so ever!!! They make it sound like it’s a really great thing, but we all know it isn’t!!! Another way to control our usage and if you go over the usage amount of water (daily, weekly, monthly) whichever they decide, water to your house will be cut back, or shut off. This is outrageous!!!
Our new meters were installed a couple of years ago, and they have eliminated the meter readers because they are wireless, I don't know where the electricity comes to power them.
When I started canning and prepping, I had both of my grown kids and grandkids in mind.
Heard about the 60,000 pounds of explosive disappearing off a train going from Colorado to California? Heard about it this morning
@@celtic15c add diesel and you have ecplosive
My garden is in but not producing yet. Will be about 45 days. Went to our local farmer's Market and bought fresh produce from them to help locals. Just bought 5 dozen eggs from a friend who has her own chicken farm. $3 dz. Hubby is 76 and still works. If he becomes unemployed we will be in hard times even with us preparing. The homeless in our area are now decent people who lost everything and now live in camping tents with coolers because they were forced out. One is a business man who was let go from a $80k job and could not find any kind of job. Most told him he was over qualified.
I wait for your videos to come out, you are very inspirational, in Australia 😁👍🇦🇺
PNW... yes we got a normal snow fall... but at lower elevation there was minimal moisture content. The fields that are planted are looking good but we need rain. Just had a unseasonably hot week... 90+Deg in May. Our timothy started heading out a foot tall before we fertilized. Praying for a good cut.
If you follow Ryan Hall (and NOAA) we have entered a super el nino cycle ... drought is coming and i suggest to all forage growers... FILL your barns before selling. Plan for 2 years of feeding stock. This maybe the last "great" cut for awhile.
Here in BC Canada we not only have an abundance of homeless people but of homeless drug addicts. Vancouver BC has a huge problem with them so they spread them out throughout our province. Now in my town 3 hours from Vancouver we have so many lethal overdoses, crime is through the roof. I'm so fed up with our government enabling these addicts with free safe injection sites. It's not working! We need more rehab centers for these people. We have approximately 2000 lethal overdoses just in our province.😢
Thank you for keeping us aware , I don't watch any MSM news, so you and the like are very important to us!
I live in southeast Kansas, many farmers here did not plant wheat. Very very few fields have wheat. They went straight to corn. There have been empty fields for months until corn was planted.
Also the drought here is real. Last summer my water bill averaged $300 a month to water my small garden. We are putting in rain catchment next month, wish we would've gotten it done a month ago. As we had 4 inches of rain last week. Bringing on the moths and mosquitoes.
Same as what my friend said
That is the TRUTH about unemployment numbers! My husband lost his job last year and it took over a month to even be able to get through to the unemployment line here in PA. And then they kept not doing anything about his claim. He was out of work for about 2 months and NEVER got a penny of unemployment and then since he got a job, he is not part of the unemployment numbers at all. How many others are not counted? I know getting unemployment here in PA was difficult for many many people, as it was always on the news here. I imagine this was common all over and our unemployment numbers are totally fabricated.
Praying for everyone!
South-central Kansas here. We grow wheat, small operation. The wheat is so short that we wonder if the combine will be able to pick it up. Wheat heads sorry looking. We hope we can have a crop! And for the people who think farmers are paid for not farming, that’s a lie unless it is a huge corporate farm. If we don’t get a crop, there’s no paycheck for us.
I feel so badly for those folks in your story today. I’m praying for them. I’m not sure how else to help them.
I live in the east coast, and during the ENTIRE month of May this year we've only had 0.2 inches of rain so far. So drought is not just hitting the Midwest right now. It's also causing the pollen to go nuts and I get sick just being outside for 30 minutes or more. Never seen a year like this.
