Yeah my family called me crazy for years because I enjoy gardening and canning and drying the food I grow. I love my chickens and taking care of a cow or two. Once the pandemic hit and people couldn't find or buy food because of lost jobs I had family come to me to learn how to garden and can food. Turns out I'm not so crazy 🤣
James 5:2 All the wealth stored up will be used as evidence against rich people to burn them!! A camel can NOT go through the eye of a needle. Anyone that sits on billions of dollars and watches people starve, suffer, and be raped and homeless in the world but chooses to do nothing about it is NOT a Christian. GET AWAY FROM WOLVES AND FALSE TEACHERS AND GET OUT OF THE FAKE CHURCHES OR YOU ARE GOING TO DIE WITH THEM AND THEIR LIES. JUDGEMENT IS FALLING. I am Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6 and fireballs are going to hit the fake churches. GET OUT AND STAY OUT. This is not a joke. If you care anything about celebrity wolves, you will do everything you can to reach them and tell them theres not much time left for them to get on the right side. Even Oprah, she might spend millions on helping people but if you are still sitting on billions, that doesn't even qualify for lukewam and she has already been spit out. Anyone teaching the monetary tithing LIE or collecting money for ministering in any way is now in THE GREAT TRIBULATION and they will begin to suffer until they repent or it's too late and they die. It's their choice. All worship groups, bookwriters, and every fake minister KNOWS selling anything using the gospel is against the Bible and evil. Do you really comprehend that they are INTENTIONALLY LYING to people? Malachi 2 proves Malachi 3:8-12 is prophetic instruction for the thieving church leaders to repent and bring back the money they were never supposed to take and God will end Covid. Every single minister on television has known this since August of 2020 but they LOVE MONEY so much, they INTENTIONALLY CHOSE TO KILL everyone with Covid instead of bringing it back! WOW! Are you awake yet? Being awake is a GOOD thing, don't listen to demon hybrids that tell you otherwise.
I wish I had someone to teach me. I willie nillied my garden. Still learning what loves and what hates the heat out here. Still haven't learned to can.
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.
So true. I am a doctor. But believe me how I wished to be a farmer ! They re so blessed to be able to produce their own food and for the rest of us that don’t even are grateful
I hate to bring politics into this, but I feel a lot of the "farmers are ripping us off" statements are being hugely amplified from people with a vested interest in inflaming discourse and dividing the country. And in reality is a thing only the fringe of the fringe and intentional trolls are actually saying.
@@kssarh I live in St Louis, and people in this city say it not because they're trolls - they actually believe that farmers are responsible for food prices.
I think a lot of people have been mislead by shows like "Doomsday Preppers". Prepping doesn't have to be taken to such extremes and most of us don't. Having some extra food and supplies for tough economic times is just smart planning.
Unfortunately even reasonable stockpiling to provide for your own family will likely be called "hoarding" when the SHF. That's how it has happened in other countries and shows like "Doomsday Preppers" paved the way by creating a perception of something not being quite right with people who like to be prepared.
@ Aniquin Stark....You are so right..Ive learn to buy in bulk because we lived so far from any store...so canning was and still is the thing to do... Some buy chicken for eggs but those chicken are like rubber when cooked...so its better getting Guials ...or even ducks...they eat outside food and are also delicious meat...and provide eggs too...a few ducks and geese...that's a des meals there too...
Yes I think a lot of it is click bait. Of course people need to be prepared the best they can. But have you ever noticed the subliminal messages in most apocalypse movies...always a fully stocked home/bomb shelter where the owners left/fled the home...hmmm🤔 No guarantees in having a fully stocked home. Prayer is necessary.
I live on a farm in southern Maine. It’s a vegetable farm for the most part. The husband and wife farmers are very worried about their crops this year. The prices of seed has skyrocketed and they don’t think their even going to be able to turn a profit. You are absolutely right. It’s getting really bad and it’s going to get much worse. People need to start planting their own gardens and canning, dehydrating, ext. money won’t do you any good if there’s not any food to buy!!
You are so right about everything. One thing I can't stand here in Indiana is how big everyone's yards are and not one single thing growing except flowers, grass, and shade trees.
It's been this way for millennia, despite our acceptance of modern technology, science or political manipulation; we are not any smarter than our parents or even grand-parents. Each age is responsible for itself, so be well-informed.
The comments you shared are correct, terrifyingly correct. I am a micro farmer, a farm of 5 acres or less. I quit raising animals because my land will not grow pasturage and feed got too expensive. I grow vegetables, herbs, berries and fruit for our local farmers market. So many people don’t understand the time it takes to grow food. I am frequently asked why I don’t have tomatoes in June. (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. Those tomatoes come from Mexico and were picked green to survive being shipped to your store. Most people don’t understand food shortages because they haven’t experienced them. They are about to get a hard lesson.
I planted my first garden this year. And picked from a local strawberry patch to make 4 batches of jam… the farmers market is my favorite place to go for my veggies! Thank you for what you do
Especially, the people that run around with the politics and go in the stores and take the Frozen and refrigerated food and leave it out to spoil. They're in for a big shock!
@@patrickfearon5546 Theres large farmers of other sorts too. These large farms are very important... the backbone of America. Most smaller farms are not in business any more . Some are , thank God.
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.
I live in Northern Italy and every time I see a farmer in a field I am thanking them in my mind. They are brave and we need them. Thank you for this important video.
I was born in Vicenza and now live in Florida. I surely miss all the good and tasty vegetables and fruits that both the north and south of Italy produced. Enjoy the good food you are so lucky to have close to you.
This started to happen here in Agrentina, once called "the world's barn". The costs of producing food skyrocket every year, some items like oil and milk are rationated from time to time, and we have cases of, just to give an example, fat being sold as meat. And who does the media blame for all of this? The farmers! The issue is a bit more complex but is a foreshadowing of what is heading towards you in the years to come if this doesn't change. Don't let this happen to your country. Politics are not edible.
I always tell my husband that I should have been a farmers wife. I grow a 1/4 acre garden and raise chickens ( along with other fowl). I have productive fruit trees, berries, and grapes, along with mature nut trees. Our rabbits poo and chicken poo is used for fertilizer and I can, dry, and freeze everything I can get my hands on and I have figured out ways to turn leftovers into the next meal. I stretch food as far as I can. That is just a life long habit and I am so glad that I am accustomed to it. I am proud to be referred to as a prepper and country girl!
Whats going on? Im hearing gates is buying up farmland? Theres a food stortage hes invested in vax we have a pandemic hes invested into biomilk We have a baby formula
You need to watch Joel on UA-cam, It's 10 Acres Homestead, and he has children, chickens, grows all their food, has pigs, everything eats the stuff he grows, he's done Homesteading conferences. Edit: it's Justin Rhodes UA-cam channel...🤓😏
great video - very important message. We can't have chickens in my town, but I am the point of saying screw it, I'm going to get a few, and if someone reports me, I will deal with it then. I mean how are poor people suppose to deal with the lack of one of their best, high quality protein sources - the mighty egg?!?!
Get yourself a flock of "emotional support chickens" then see what they say. First convince your doctor you need emotional support, so you have a doctors note in defense of your small flock of fowl. One must fight fire with fire, crazy laws must be challenged with what ever means possible. Keep us posted.
"Can we survive it, of course we'll survive it!" Needed that confidence right now, thank you! I admit I'm behind on all this but I started a garden this year and am starting to find more ways to be more self sufficient. I know too many people who just don't think all that pain will be real.... I'm doing my best to spread the warning but it seems no one in my circle really wants to see it....
When it comes to food, farmers are whom we should listen to and believe, not politicians or any acronym in this country. Remembering the farmers in my family roots, in the cotton fields of South Texas, I salute all farmers of America.! Without you, there would be no me.
Over the past 40 yrs politicians have turned the prime farm land where I live into mega housing tracts.. the short sighted ay-shun invayshun has displaced local food production. We don't have near enough scaffolds or rope to correct the food shortages created by these idy-ot bureaucrats.
This message was beautifully written by someone who truly sees what's happening!! All of my family farms. My son farms several different farms & also has a cow dairy. He also works nights as a diesel mechanic to try to make ends meet. My daughter has a 500 head goat dairy & works nearly around the clock to make a go of it. My brother crop farms & struggled to get enough fertilizer & fuel to put in this years crops. I have a small farm & feed costs are horrible!! People can't seem to understand why I can't just "share" my eggs & the cheese I make from my goats milk!! It's frustrating to put in so much money & effort & have people stand there with their hand out!! 😢 Thank you much for sharing your viewers story! God bless!
You have every right to earn your expenses and a reasonable profit from your hard work. If people don't want to pay your price they can shop elsewhere or grow their own food. Keep up the good work. The world needs more like you.
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. My granddaughter will drive a 10 mile round trip just to get a fruit smoothie. You can't tell them anything. They have had it too good all their life. When crunch time comes, they will be devastated.
🆘👉🏼Brenda do you pray? Thats more important than anything. I heard a story on world news about a Australian house standing and all in the street were burnt from the fires over their. They prayed this man said. They both got on their knees and prayed. So remember to confess your sins clean up your soul and GOD looks after his own. (He is in charge) Why are more people getting sick, demonics are having a time of there life infecting humans as it is easy to get humans sick through sin. A FACT friend.
@@lovetruth5733 I feel your pain , our loved ones do not listen to the point we are silenced. You are right Our loving God is trying to get our attention. Prayer is our chance to be free. God will look after us and if we are willing to share He will multiply whatever we have. May God bless you, keep on trusting .We will see miracles and have Joy for His Glory.
A smoothie is the most simple thing you can make. I can't imagine driving 10 miles to purchase an overpriced smoothie when you can make it yourself and make it exactly the way you want, for 1/4 the price. I agree that people in America and a few other advanced countries have been experiencing prosperity and comfort for a very long time and unfortunately, history has shown us that this leads to a weakening of the human condition.
I’m 49 & I’ve had a great life but I see the forest through the trees & there isn’t much that can be done to curb what is going on. 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 lived in a 3rd world country for the first ten years of my life and I remember being hungry, going to sleep hungry sometimes but not even knowing why my tummy ached. Its horrible, now I look at how people throw food away here by the dumpster loads, and you can't even try to use that food without being thrown in jail. This is a reckoning for our country, People in the US have no clue man. I feel really sorry that this is happening, my family brought us here to escape all the bad stuff that was happening, and now in my old age it all comes back to haunt me, the cities burning, the riots, people in the streets, the insanity. I'm very sorry folks but we are headed for some really scary times here, we were warned though, and no one paid attention.
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. Forgive my rambling as I reflect on how great full I am to have these skills, never thinking them as such. Great full that my belly isn’t rumbling in pain as yours did. Thank you for your insightful comment. 🙏
As an American, we are truly sorry. We don't like wasting food and so on, but many sadly do, and businesses should just be giving food they'll throw away, but is perfectly fine, out to others or the homeless. America is so privlvidged, yet liberals take advantage of it. It's quite sad.
Also, we were warned. It's just that majority (which are liberals) are the reason why we're going down the path we're going, and they're not listening to the truth we speak. It's because of satan, the elites up at the top with so much power. We know why everything is going downhill.
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.
Be careful about using only cracked corn for feed. I only use it sparingly for my hens, mostly in the Winter to increase their body heat, but just as a supplement to a more nutritious hen feed.
@Blonde K What is a grow zone? This seems new since we could grow almost anything when I was a child. Some commenters here say their towns aren't allowed chickens. These laws seem suspect and unfair
I’ve been telling friends and family that this is going to happen and yet they continue to roll their eyes at me. I’m not a farmer but have been following the trends and government policies that are causing this. Thank you for sharing and hope people hear this message and wake up to what is coming
I know something isn't right because of how how our leaders have been acting.. ever since COVID first hit and that they were in denial about THAT! But you can just sense it that it's about to get serious. it's going to be hell on everyone. We're just too overpopulated to begin with.. and when everyone go crazy.. it's going to be like a snowball effect of craziness and panic and everyone for themselves basically. Even with marshall law.
@@brendaamerica2926 they're way out numbered when you're talking about the whole country of 300 million people starving and doing the unthinkable to try and stay alive. Hope for some solutions.. but at this point we're the laughing stock of the world! Nobody's going to help us!?
I just want to say the following: I HAVE THE UPMOST RESPECT FOR FARMERS! THEY ARE THE REASON WE HAVE FOOD. I'M 100% CITY GIRL, AND HAVE LEARNED THROUGHOUT THE YEARS JUST HOW AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL THEY ARE. I THANK GOD FOR THEM, AND PRAY HE WILL BLESS THEIR CROPS, AND HARVEST ABUNDANTLY... AND FORTH THOSE WHO ARE DEALING WITH ANIMALS, AS WELL. GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY ❤️🐷🐮🐍🐴🐑🐏🐃🐂🐄🦌🐓🐔🐥🦃🦆🐝
Why is Bill Gates and china buying all the farms The American farmer Has been let down by the people of America They are losing their farm land because of inhumane taxes and Inheriting taxes put on them by a government out to buy their farms so America people who want to eat will give up their souls To the devil's new world government A government who loves you so much who will kill your children and take avenge of their incessant It is writing the devil has but a short time What want he do in his time in power and his workers Buckle up it will get worse Oh don't worry you will work in the farms as a slave and like it They hate us and want to enslave us all
A lot of people are detached from reality when it comes to growing food and the work that goes into it. Its definitely taken for granted. I pray that this passes and quick. I try my best to support our local farms. I don't care how much it costs.
Support yr local stores. I have planted fruit trees in my backyard. Also blackberry bush & raspberry bush. I'd would suggest making a hot house especially in the inner cities
Thank You . As I sit here digesting the post you read I can only cry. I have been stocking for over a year but my family doesn’t hear me when I warn them of what’s to come. Thank you for sharing the post and thank you to the farmer who was brave enough and honest enough to share it with us. I’m afraid we are in for a hard and long ride. And my heart breaks for those who have no ears to hear. God bless and God be with you all
chloerose1953, I too have been stocking and my family says I am over doing it. I was told that if another bag of food comes in, that my sister was going to put out on the street. People are just dumb, they will not believe it until it happens.
Don’t cry. Just do the best you can and God will take care of you. Hugs from Wisconsin. PS. Most of my family doesn’t listen either, to busy blowing money on going out to eat. But one of my sons bought a small farm a year ago and is growing his second large garden. Just lead the way and be ready to educate them about what they will need to do to survive.😊
The best you can do is accept Jesus as your saviour. The time to come is called the tribulation in the bible. Whoever believes in Jesus Christ will be raptured (snatched away) before that (so, very soon). After that, all hell will break loose on this earth. In total, more than half of earth population will die in 7 years. Accept Jesus as your lord and saviour, repent of your sins and believe, that Jesus died for your sins on the cross. Than you are made right with god and he will keep you from his wrath thats coming on this earth. Its all in the bible. And its all beginning to happen right as it is written. The time we have is short!
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.
Just like the price of gas being played with back in the 70s? Why do I see containers pilled up in train yards and on train tracks over a mile long. And that's just one small area. Do the one's know who are playing the entire game know they are going to have to leave soon, so they are pillaging all they can? And would buying just what you need only bring prices down? Maybe there just getting payed back for lost revenue from last year. Both gas co. and grocery stores. ✌💖
I heard a saying, WHEN DISASTER STRIKES, THE TIME TO PREPARE HAS PASSED. We can only be concerned about our immediate family unit and protect that. It is out of our hands when those that are unprepared, and have been warned, are faced with dealing with their ignorance.
@@misspandesal I know you are probably right as the Mormons tried to warn us years ago to have at least a years worth of food for your family. And like you said what would one do without? Just walk up to someone's door and beg ? And would you try to help them ? And lastly, Would desperate one's try to just take from your family for their families knowing the consequences of what will happen to your family's? I myself would probably say take what you want but please do away with my family and I as I do not want to see them suffer. ✌💖
I live and work in a farming community and I can tell you many local farmers are getting out of it for the reasons stated in that letter you read. They are keeping enough to feed three family and maybe share with a few. It's going to get harder and harder. 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. Get a wood burning bbq, lanterns, etc. And prepare for the hardest roller coaster ride of your life. And get right with God..you will need an advocate in your corner...
It doesn't help that we've had a still do, a grifter being a whinny baby about losing an election. He's divided people. Not a good start to what humans have to face in the next few yrs. His cult is out there waiting for the time he gets held to account for the coup that almost killed a VP. It's so unbelievably mess up, people don't get it laid the groundwork for a total collapse because that pos has no idea what he is doing other than acting in his own self interest. Why did it sign the 2 trillion covid package? He did not have to but he wanted his businesses bailed out.
No amount of guns can protect the weak (women and children) from rogue packs of single men in their prime. Forget prepping food and guns, prep muscle, fasting and social manipulation. The pen has always been mightier than the sword
I've tried to warn my daughter & son in law that this will happen & they think I'm a conspiracy theorist. I've stored some food, but it's not enough. Ive moved to get closer & praying they will listen, but mostly praying for an intervention from our Lord!
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
This is not only happening in the US. I am witnessing the same thing across the world. It's important you know your farmer, the grocery store/supermarket does not grow your food.
I've been trying to get people to listen for years in this small town I moved to. They absolutely think my cheese has flown off my cracker.. My hubby and I are labeled as the local nuts. I will not give up trying to get them to see the light. I'm working day and night into the wee hours doing my gardening and pantry . I'm over gardening so I can share with my elderly neighbor who is alone. It's the Christian thing to do. Our cattle feed is only 1 buck higher because the place we buy it sources everything in my state of TX. Now I know my dog and cat food has gone up.. The cat food was 75 bucks for 4 50lb bags.. It's now almost 130 bucks. Dog food only went up by 3$ a bag. We are getting ready to get all of our fowl.. It's still cheap made in store by the same people who make my cow feed.
@@heidimisfeldt5685 there is no moving away. The housing market is already upside down. At this point unless you have cash to buy a property that already has a house and can take a loss on the house you currently live in, it’s best to stay put and ride it out.
As someone who works at a feed store and pays attention to this stuff, I try to tell people what I know. I've barely been able to convince my family that it's going to get this bad. Most of them don't disbelieve me, but their response is usually "people are going to get angry". Me, I've been buying and planting fruit trees these past couple of years. One day, my brother in law asked me, "why are you doing this?" When I told him why he said, "That's not going to happen, I bet my money on it." I almost asked him "Are you willing to bet your family on it?" He has four children...Anyway, now he still won't admit he was wrong but he's starting to take steps to prepare.
@@andrewmoens8614 Well, he's at least bought some chickens and accepted my gift of a large quantity of stored food. He's not dumb, but he and my sister(his wife) are proud people. They'll take a bullet for anyone they even remotely care about but God so help me if they won't believe anything they haven't thought of for themselves.
What you wrote sounds just like my situation. My friends don't want to even tell their young adult children to "start growing your own food" because they 'don't want to scare them" I tell them: How scary do you think it is to watch your child die of hunger?" These people are out partying and talking about useless stuff- like the score of a ball game- they have no clue- they don't even want to look. most all my family and friends who have food/plants- have them because i've provided them with the plants. We must grow enough and keep sharing for others- AND NEVER STOP SHARING THE TRUH!!
@@jett888 I'm prepared to starve to death if it means giving my family just one more day. I don't have children of my own. Sometimes I feel sad about that but at the same time, my worries would grow exponentially if I did have children.
@@jett888 It's each individual's perspective on what is valuable to them. I started a garden later in life and didn't realize how I could've encouraged my kids at a younger age that it was fun and exciting to see plants grow from seed to a delicious, living piece of food/creation! God gives everyone chances, but being too late in our decision making is their own fault. People's focus are in the wrong place.
Thank you. I do have to disagree that it ‘isn’t meant to scare anyone.’ People need to wake up and feel a healthy dose of fear. Peoples personalities change, a lot, when food is scarce or non existent. To feed themselves and family, they will do anything. 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. If they know you have food, they will come for it.
People are already too scared. Fear is what got us into this mess. The world closed it doors and shut down because a they listened to politicians told them a cold would kill them. Like cowardly sheep they hang on every word from there favorite politician or news host to tell them what they should do, how to react, what to think. What people need now more than anything is to stop being afraid
@@c5back9 No fear is not the beginning of wisdom. It is....”The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” Psalm 9:10
You are a wonderful example of a caring & compassionate woman. May we all heed your advice, and the woman who sent her article. Thanks to both of you!!
Living in a heavily regulated Mid-Atlantic state, I started to notice last year that local fields went unplanted. Just in the last week or so taking a ride in our county, I mentioned to my husband that it seemed as if more and more fields were growing up weeds devoid of any crops. 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 daughter sent me this. She was always into nature and growing things. Terrariums, gardening, flowers, frogs, cats and cows you name it. She planted a huge garden this year. 30X30 yards? My other daughter is a bean counter with a degree in International Economics or some such. They have been talking about this. I am listening in.
We had preps before a derecho took out the power for a week. Our family always joked that we were crazy, but when the storm happened our close family knew where to come for help. We walked door to door checking on the elderly neighbors and offering water. I think most people just think it'll never happen to them, and now we're not so crazy after all. Oh, and the rest of the family now stocks up and we're ready for the next storm or whatever obstacles we are faced with. Please do your part and help others as you are able. Go to a local antique shop and purchase tools that don't require power. Have a conversation with some elderly folks, learn from the wise.
There was a blackout for several days in our city back when my children were very young and I asked some family members to come get us and they refused stating it was dangerous (for them). Those are the same people who call you 'crazy' for being prepared. Lol. So, I learned not to listen to them and not to count on them. Do what you feel is right.
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 ?
Wow! What a life to have lived, all the satisfying hard work of the old days! So wonderful to have great memories of helping and working with your father and mother! Thank you for sharing! Very heartwarming and uplifting.
Hi, my mother is 77 years old and she tells me how she lived when she was growing up, very hard work. She tells me life was beautiful. That the food tasted delicious. And people where different hard working respectful kind men and women. 👏🏻
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.
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. Thank you for sharing and I do hope people will pay attention.
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.
@@hobopowerrangers I'm literally growing luffas and hot peppers in a west-facing window sill. Just set up a card table (or anything else stable enough) so the pots get the right amount of light. (if no windows i would call that a human rights violation.)
YT's algorithms suggested this video and I'm so glad I watched it. You have a humble heart and a gentle spirit and I agree with the information you shared as you read the letter from the farmer. I just subbed.
My dad was born and raised on a farm in Illinois. I knew nothing of that way of life until as a teen i spent a summer with the relatives working on the farm. I know of next to no one who work harder to feed the nation than farmers. I have a deep appreciation for what they do. The people accusing and complaining don't have a clue. This is a great video with rare insight into what is really happening with farming.
We are in the UK and my husband has been having us prepping for 5 or so years now. He said to me. "something bad is coming, I don't know what, but we need to be prepared". Oh boy was he right. We don't tell anyone about our prepping. We are also prepped in other ways too.
@Messenger you are totally misinformed. get educated, that is the Russians doing, they have the Ukrainian ports blockaded with their ships and troops. Put the blame where its due - in the Russians hands, not the Ukrainians.
Great post, & thank-you for bringing this up! In Canada, we had 43 rail cars of potash derail, JUST in time for planting. We have Health Canada going around massacring chickens because of 'bird flu.' I know this probably just sounds like hearsay, but a friend's father is best friends with a man who works for them & says he's baffled, because they're going around wiping out perfectly healthy flocks because one or two may have 'tested' positive.' He's very upset about this. We also had a very large & busy abattoir burn to the ground & will take 3 years to rebuild. A friend had to scramble to have her chickens processed & called in family to help. Not everyone would have been so lucky! I did a little digging & I discovered that here in Canada, we're testing these critters using PCR technology, which even our Chief Medical officer of health, Barbara Yaffe, has admitted the tests yield false positive 50% of the time or higher. She's also basing nothing on actual science & was caught on a hot mic session admitting that she just 'reads what they tell her to.' Many of us are asking who THEY are, but getting no answers from the powers that be. Some of us are researching & we have found that the THEY she talks about is the W0RLD EC0N0MlC F0RUM. I know you won't be allowed to talk about them, or if you do, you'll get a strike, hence why I have used zeroes rather than O's to spell it.
Hello from Australia, first time on your channel . Well said ,clear concise and calm . I feel you are a wounderful and sincere person . So good on you, we all need to get this warning . Here lettuce just hit 12 dollors per head of iceburg . Thats one lettuce ,so if you think for one secound that we are not in deep trouble , please think again . Also remember to be human and treat others how you would like to be treated . We can get through this but only if we keep love alive . Blessings for all. Stay human .
You and this letter have confirmed what is going on here in German Valley, Illinois...I m growing and canning all I can for my family ..my husband and I are retired and on fixed income... Thank you from a new subscriber....
This farmer made a good point that many people don't understand where their food comes from. I can hardly wrap my head around that. I'm working on prepping almost every day. My garden is doing well so far but one bad storm could wipe me out. We just have to push on and videos like these may help others start to do something to help themselves.
Its true. Ive experienced where my garden was wiped out after 3 weeks of good growth and 6 months of soil prepped. all washed away in a freak flood that overtook our street and washed out areas that were never washed out before. I follow someone that commented we should be having back ups for when our back ups fail such as when our garden veggies fail. have storebought backups for those items.
@@sharonbice7490 This storm we experienced was sudden in middle of the night 1am. It came on so fast, 3and half inches in 1 hour, not to mention I live downhill from all the runoff coming at me. So much water overwhelmed drains knocked out walls in my greenhouse moved fully loaded large rubbermade tubs that I could not move, but the water carried those heavy tubs through a pipe and moved them and everything in my greenhouse nearly 2blocks away. There was no time. Like I said it was a freak sudden. No time to prepare. It collapsed a terraced bank that was 5 layers of terracing. brought a bunch of gravel from up the road into my back yard. The storms we are experiencing are worse than previous years.
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.
We have 26 hens and two roosters and sell extra eggs to our neighbours and family members. We got chickens about 6 years ago when we moved to the county. It was always something I wanted to do where my grandparents did. We have learned a lot during this time and I think one thing average person wanting to get chickens doesn’t realize is keeping chickens is not cheap, and it isn’t easy. It is work. You won’t be self sufficient with 6 chickens and no rooster (cities only allow that number here)There is also a lot of factors you can’t control. The weather, chicken illnesses, predators. It isn’t a no brainer and there is a learning curve. We learn new things about our flock constantly and have to remain vigilant to make sure they are all ok. You just don’t jump into having chickens because you want to be self sufficient now. You have to have knowledge and practice with success and failures. I’m glad we have a few years under our belts before things really get bad. The feed prices are much higher than when we started, and we had to increase our egg prices from $4.00 to $5.00 per Doz, or we would be giving our eggs away.
You are absolutely right. I've had over 50 chicks die at different ages due to not having background knowledge on how to care and protect them. I have 7 hens at the moment in a large roofed kennel with a small coop inside of it. I have been very successful that way. I'm wondering if there is a way to bring my hens to a farm with a rooster where they can breed? I can't keep roosters in my neighborhood. They are too loud and even with the crow collars, it wouldn't be enough.
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. "You'll starve to death," my grandparents would say.
Hello, Thank you for reading that email from a Canadian viewer as she is right on the money!! I live in Nebraska ( one of the major state producers of beef) and I am here to tell you that it is going to get real for a lot of people very soon if they don't start now to prepare for what is about to hit this country as far as food and other niceties. Farmers have been warning us, sites such as this have been warning us and even our own Government agencies have been warning us of shortages to come. This shortage will hit all countries not just 3rd world as most seem to think. Yes we are (were) the land of plenty but not this time around. Take care that you have plenty of everything to get you through a year if not longer as things need to get back into production. Also if you live in the city try and get out as soon as possible because when this shortage hits as hard as the experts are saying the cities are going to suffer first before those of us in the country. People will do anything for food and water. I also am a very firm believer that the LORD is coming very soon so also prepare your spiritual needs as well as your personal needs.
@@Jen-zk9se the last part was the most important part. I guess you think you're alive because your heart is beating...but you never wondered HOW does your heart beat.....
This is exactly what I have been telling one of my sons. He keeps trying to tell me there are no shortages, that stores are hoarding the food to get you to pay higher prices. No matter how I argue the position that you are not seeing it because it hasn't really hit us yet. Farmers are downsizing that's why they're still food on the shelves. Next year will be when the real shortages begin. I'm glad this farmer spoke up and I'm glad you chose to talk about it on your program. Thanks Tony
I've been telling my family too. My daughter "doesn't have time" to think about things like that ... she has three small children. I just want to pull my hair out. My mom and dad are, at least, listening. However, they don't have any idea how enormous this this going to get. So, you're not alone. I'm ending up trying to plan for my daughter and her children to come to my house if they don't have food. That's all I can do. It does make it more of a burden on me, but I can't let my grandchildren starve.
My issue is my elderly mother in law who lives very remotely in a very inhospitable rural area in outback Australia. The things I told her about 18 months ago are just beginning to show now. I worry how she will cope all alone, without family , so far away when everything is unaffordable. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.
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. It's up to the people now to wake up and take some action! Thank you gain from Canada!!
I just saw your video in my feed, and I don’t believe in coincidences. I was meant to hear the farmer’s letter and the message it contained. God bless you for sharing it, and the farmer for taking the time to share just how critical this situation is getting. You have my heart-felt thanks.
I felt the same way, I’ve been 2nd guessing all of my efforts an added expense in prepping for this. I think i needed to hear this to know it really is important and I’m not just wearing a tinfoil hat. 😂
Also believe I was meant to see this my search was “making leather wallet” and this video popped up! God be with you all and trust he is with us on this journey!
Thank you from New Zealand. It’s great to see others awake to the fact it’s not today it will hit, but tomorow, and by then it’s too late for those who didn’t believe. As you can guess from the name I’m a Angus stud farmer, few sheep chooks and pigs thrown in to supply family and friends. My issue is going to be stock theft…I’m not far from a rather troublesome town here and theft is already an issue (fuel, bikes etc), it pretty soon it will turn to food. I agree…you can only tell those who want to hear it…for too many it’s easier to believe the tv and politicians, and according to them it’s the farmers fault. Most of NZ is not armed, but many farmers are. I’m hoping it never comes to it, but I will protect and feed my family to the very best of my ability
As a USA citizen living in another Country, it’s not just the USA. The entire world is going through this. Leaders from all around the world are saying we are going to have food shortages by fall. Farmers all around the world are saying food shortages.
It is being done on PURPOSE!!! The powers that be are wicked, sinister monsters and they have very twisted sinister objectives. America is in COLLAPSE - most just refuse to see it. Virtually Everything is in extremely short supply or not available at all and will not be available for months upon months upon months if ever. This is the type of situation brewing that you read about in history books!!!
@@deplorablesrus8457 I know but sadly it’s not just The states. Most of the world leaders are doing the same to their people. They are trying to bring in the 1 world order. Sadly Americans still have more freedom and control than the rest of the world. Look at Canada. Castros son Trudeau is acting like a dictator or not hiding it.
I'm an American expat as well, and I've noticed the same. The only difference seems to be that people don't seem to be talking about it at all where I am.
I'm an expat in East Africa. Prices of food and fuel here are going up. Cooking oil is getting short. I've been warning people for a while to prepare, plant a garden. Some listen most don't. I think this will be worse than the Great Depression but will be global. Get prepared to meet God.
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.
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.
And unfortunately 40% of the food that goes on the market in the United States of America goes in the garbage…. So really is there a problem ? …. 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 thank her for her heartfelt warning and education of the facts regarding the trials and tribulations that FARMERS are going through and how it will inevitably effect the consumer. Thank You again!
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.
That’s a problem, growing foods (we) eat all the time: McDonalds, pizza, etc. Folks don’t know what to do with leafy greens 🥬 or even pumpkins 🎃 - as food.
@@aarondaniel6630 That's so true! That's one of the cultural shifts in the way people think that came about due to an era of ease and affluence. And it'll be hardest on the folks that don't grasp that that era is over, and are willing to make lifestyle changes accordingly.
I’m hearing, by September shelves will be empty and the rebound will take a year. People who are not paying attention will assuredly starve. I’ve been putting away grains and taught myself to can a year ago, hence the reason I’ve subscribed. We will be in dire straits by the end of summer. Please prepare people! 🙏🏼
YearS not a year to rebound. Southern Alberta just suffered crop losses in JUNE Ohio just got wiped out by hail. Just watch the crops across North America.
@@sherrybailey649 yes and not just in North America also happening in Europe. Ice Age farmer on yt has been following this for over two years. Global big picture is shocking.
Thank you. I'm glad to see "regular" folks starting to wake up to what is really about to happen. We "conspiracy theorists " have been warning of this for months but our warnings fell upon deaf ears mostly. If the lack of food being produced sounds worrisome, add to that this year more than 50 food processing plants have been destroyed by fire, 100s of millions of chickens have been culled or destroyed by fire, and 10s of thousands of cattle have just died which I believe they're saying was because of hot weather. We are about to enter times where average people in America will actually feel what hunger is. So buckle up and do what you can now to prepare for the scariest ride you've ever been on. Good luck to you all
It’s over 90 processing plants in the last couple years plus the cows and now sheep dying en masse. None of which is accidental. People are even having trouble growing in their own soils now, too.
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!
He supplied the manna though. it’s nice hat you’ve been able to prepare. it’s not the luxury for everyone so keep the forced lesson. God will provide. end of story.
This farmer nailed it. The facts are there & so many negative variables are crushing food production. I was never a prepper nor did I know the term. I am prepping now!!!
Ignorance is bliss for many people! They don't listen to common sense advice about stocking up on food or if they do, they don't believe REAL food shortages are on the horizon. KEEP DOING what you do best, Toni! Report the facts and KEEP ENCOURAGING folks to jump on board. You are doing your part and then some.💕
@@ericabruton8087 Exactly.... and I believe the next sentence to that poem is an example of what is happening now: “Where ignorance is bliss, Tis folly to be wise.” (Ode on a Distant Prospect at Eton College). What I hear and see around me is people in denial. The common remark I get when I encourage people to have a reserve of food in their home is, "Oh if anything happens, the government with take care of us." Or I hear, " That only happens in 3rd world countries, not the US."
I think part of it is denial. We've been so spoiled for so long (generally speaking) that we don't know how to do without. They put their heads in the sand and sing lalala I can't hear you because they don't know (and don't WANT to know) how to deal with it. I know way too many people like this.
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.
I totally agree. We hobby farm sheep, eggs and veggies out in Alberta and downsized last year cause hay skyrocketed due to the drought. Even this year small squares are $10 and up. Luckily we buy a beef from a local family farm and our meat chicken from the Hutterites but they told me last week they would have to raise prices soon. I'd suggest people stock up what they can and support local farmers.
I am going to a local farmer today because they have a 30 lb special for $210. It's 15 lbs of ground beef and 15 lb of steak and roast. It comes out to $7 a pound. But what i see at the grocery isn't any better in price. I can make room in my freezer for that much, I hope. I want some of their frozen sweet corn too...it's been frozen, but heard it's delicious. I may check on their pork too.
@@ooohhitskaren63 I got a 1/4 share of a local cow, about two months ago. Based on getting 175 pounds of packaged meat (ground beef, a small number of ribeye and t-bone steaks, a few roasts, etc), and totaling what I paid the farmer and what I paid for the processing, my average cost per pound of beef was about $3.00 USD. I live in a mostly rural area, in the central midwestern USA.
Our family has stocked up, and we have repetitive food supplies. More importantly, we have communicated and have set up plans with neighbors to pool resources. A community is much more productive on the slim times. This was taught to me by my grandmother who was a Great Depression child. Learn from others and help a neighbor.
I get the idea of being prepared, I try myself. However, historically if things get bad enough all your preparations will likely be for nothing. A consistent historical fact is that when food supply and commodities becomes scarce the government pillages it's own citizens. Police/military will go door to door and take anything they want, food, money, valuables, tools, weapons... This has already happened in America. It was a common practice in the south during the civil war and has been repeated all over the world for thousands of years. We saw something similar during Hurricane Katrina. Historically the police and military WILL NOT defend you and you will not win if you fight back. They'll take what they want and kill anyone who gets in their way. Just food for thought. But what choice do we have? We still need to prep.
Thank you for posting this. I try to delicately explain this to my friends and family and they look at me like I’m crazy. I can see it clear as day and it’s painful knowing that they won’t be ready. I can’t take care of everyone and I loose sleep trying to figure out if I should sell my heifers or keep them for meat for my loved ones. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one seeing this coming
Don't give away your heifers, or lose money. I have helped raise cattle. You poured your time, money, and effort into them. Bet your bottom dollar, you will need every bit of that money. Your friends, and family are responsible for themselves. You told them what was coming. If the heifers are going to market, offer to sell them one. If they still think you're crazy, just move on.
I find it is best to just say things like "I am stocking up because prices are going up every week and in the long run it saves me money". I found no o e can argue with that and I don't sound "crazy".
@@practicallyheidi8505 excellent point! this is exactly the excuse I’m giving my husband for our larger grocery lists. He can not see what is happening right before our eyes. He thinks it’s all “conspiracies”🙄 says I’m being paranoid.
I came across your channel today. I haven't watched any videos of yours before, but I subscribed after hearing you read the farmers letter. I appreciate when people educate others about what is happening. Thank you for your service in helping people prepare for these difficult times ahead
Thank you so much for sharing ..and thank the woman farmer for telling us the big picture.....I live in Quebec..and my friends just laugh at me when I mention that they should stock up...I don' t say anything anymore..and stocking up for myself and my dog..started growing vegetables in cloth bags....and maintaining myself in good physical , mental, emotional and spiritual health daily...once the weather and water warms up, I will be swimming in the lake daily and enjoy this summer...as much as I can. ..be well
@@rosehavenfarm2969 ..it is a daily commitment..each day is different..and adapting is the key...and I had to let some friends go because they were always looking for dramas....good luck to you...!
Thank you for reading this to us. As a small farmer myself, I can say that she is not only right, but she has the correct assumption on what people see and feel about food security. They do not understand how agriculture works and the time it takes to replenish a supply like meat, eggs and even vegetables. I stopped trying to talk my neighbors into growing food and keeping livestock, or at least chicken. They seem happy enough to buy from me, but none is willing to do the work to have access to their own food supply. They smile like I'm a crazy person when I start telling them the only way to make sure they have a food supply is to participate in it, all because the shelves are full. If I tell them something about the price of my chicken feed, they stare blankly and ask me why I buy feed if my chicken are free range? They have no idea. They don't even see why I put in the effort to maintain a flock of Buckeye, seeing that pullets of the commercial kind here sell for $10. When I say this is my way of making sure I have a supply of chicken if commercial hybrids are no longer available, they shake their heads. I'm the village crazy woman. They do this when I talk about my heirloom seed company as well. Why bother with heirloom when hybrids are "better"? There will always be seeds to buy at the home depot, after all.
As a farmer yourself, what exact brands and companies have you bought your feed from over the years? I can't seem to convince my family. But if I compile a data sheet of current feed prices and more data, maybe I can convince them. Regardless, I'm personally very curious about the question in general.
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!!! 😫
Thankyou for sharing. We can tell you are a caring person. And if our kids don't pay attention to the warnings and then it happens, it will be their consequences of their poor listening and their poor decision making. You're doing great by putting the warning out there. 💖👍
Yes. I'm British and I live in England. Our supermarkets are full of goods like normal but I think we won't notice much until the autumn after the harvest season. I also think its a good idea to stock up tinned food in case there is a problem with electricity supply. After all there's a problem with everything else.
@logic is biracial Yes. I also have been looking at food dehydrators.. Cattlemen were ordered to get rid of their livestock because of Covid. I don't think livestock can get Covid. I think it was just an excuse to introduce lab grown or 'cultured' meat. Disgusting.
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.
It's understandable regardless of those whom can't understand it all. Thanks for all the hard work and time u have put in to producing, so others may feed their families. You don't get near enough credit or thanks! I send you mine from the divided states.
Thanks for this. When I was a kid, I remember grocery shopping with my mom and $100 worth had the basket full almost to bursting. Now that I'm on my own, I get $100 worth of groceries of the cheapest bulk options I can find and it doesn't last me a month... I only just became a "real" adult, and I feel so scared about my future.
I know, right? If my mom bought $150 worth, that was enough to feed the four of us for 2 weeks! My grandparents had a big garden too, which supplimented the food of the whole 8 person extended family
You and the author has hit the nail on the head sadly. We are not in Canada or the USA but I feel this is a world wide problem. I hope people listen I know we are xxx
" I've warned my children and that's about all I can do " totally resonates with me. Mine all think I'm crazy. But they don't pay much attention. My grandparents grew up in the depression and I grew up fairly poor and I see what's coming. God bless you and all that are trying to warn others. However, you can lead a horse to water... I wish everyone could see the disaster about to unfold and also the way it's been orchestrated
Amen! About once a month ive called my daughter snd she replies “Mom you said that last month”, well guess what? Im going to tell you again next month too cuz im your mom!! Ive “redpilled” two of my three but the stubborn one still thinks im crazy. Par for the course. I wont laugh at people who dont at least stock up on necessities, but im going to try real hard not to say “I told you so!”? God bless our country and the whole world. 🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸
All I can say is a whole, whole lot of people are going to be very surprised and extremely unhappy in the very near future. They will end up becoming victims and or end up in some awful govt camp, etc, etc. There is no good reason for people not to stock up and put food back. A few cans each time and boom you could of had a large stockpile but no they wasted their money on stupid garbage, etc, etc. Good luck to you.
Thank you for reading this heart felt letter. As someone who had a mixed farm in the 1980's I know exactly what this woman is saying. It was different then but many had to sell because the interest was sometimes 18%. This will be worse than then I fear because it is now global. I try and tell people but many feel I am reactionary. I am planting and growing and preserving all I can this year. Blessings.
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.
I'm from Kansas in the U.S. and small farms are almost unheard of as opposed to when I was growing up. It's all millionaire farmers with oil teaming up n buying all the land to ranch n drill to frac.
@@trump45and2zig-zags , it’s a real mess deliberately created by globalist powers. I’m beginning to think a 1776 scenario needs to take place to get the world back to rights.
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
Hey Toni you did the right thing posting that as I’ve been seeing it on the news from time to time people just aren’t listening . I just mentioned to my daughter the other day that more and more people are going to go gluten free and maybe vegan as no choice as what they are eating now will not be available or not enough $$ to buy what is available .shout out to hunters and back yard gardeners . Stay safe good luck with your garden
That is why the governments are ensuring the prices are high. Google 3D printed food. The military are already making it. They don't want cows, or chickens. They have declared them methane producers, and destroying the planet.
Not enough money for meat in stores Absolutely my experience So 😊 I head to Wendy's for a $5 Biggie Deal I get my meat YAY! And clean up is way more efficient
That's exactly what your government wants. Don't eat meat. New Zealand is taxing farmers now for cattle emissions. It's all part of their agenda. They will control our food supply and dictate what and how much we eat. They want control over our lives. Those that control our food, energy, healthcare, our banks control our lives and maintain power.
Gluten free food or flours are going to be more expensive and hard to find as time goes on. The beans, lentils and grains needed have been hit with the droughts and wash outs just like wheat. As someone who has been gluten free for nearly 40 years due to celiacs disease l see prices going up even more in the specialty isle. Also I work on a dairy farm. Farms here in Canada are being pushed to the brink of bankruptcy by givt policies. It will be bad.
Thank you for your great advice. I’m in my seventies and live in an apartment with my son who has mental illness. We have begun storing food, quite a lot actually as he has become anxious that we will,not have enough to feed ourselves. Our cupboards and spare spaces are stacked with bins, which makes me anxious, as I feel the clutter weighing me down. I have bins on my balconies that have vegetables growing in them, but there won’t be enough to feed us constantly. I think I will resort to growing greens, as carrots and potatoes take too long to mature. We have about 50 kgs of rice so that might keep us going for a while. Also have flour, pasta, sugar, tinned food. I assume at some stage we will lose power, so frozen food can’t be relied on. I don’t know what else we can do. We can forage in parks if things get really bad. Luckily there some great information available, and I have lists of things I should do. Would appreciate any tips for city people trying to prepare. Many thanks 🙏🍀🍄🌞💐☔️🥕🥦🥬🍕🍰🍦🥓🥖👍
I've been canning my garden veggies since the world was gonna end in 2012. I cycle my jars and everything I am eating this year is from 5 years ago. If stores shut down tomorrow, I could eat for 4 years without growing more.
Very true. I have friends in the states that have not been able to buy pork and milk. A small loaf of raisin bread $6. They are pretty shocked. Even if you have the money, does not mean there will be food to buy. Thank you for sharing and getting the word out .
Farmers has too long been under appreciated for our food supply. This farmer's run down of how prices trickly down has been pood pood for too long and now people will begin to cry. It makes me want to cry to know that we will all be experiencing this craziness. Thank you so much for sharing her post with those of us who did not have a chance to see it before. Love and Grace to everyone
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. Not everyone will survive what’s coming, get your home right with the Lord and prep like your life depends on it! Grow like your life depends on it! God bless everyone
What is interesting is that almost the same problems are being felt here in Africa. Inflation, droughts, poor crop yields. You're right it is time to get right with the Lord Jesus, trusting him for wisdom, strength and sustenance. 🇰🇪
@Danielle Terry You aid that the market is being flooded with reserve food. Could you say from what reserves? Source for this information? Would greatly appreciate it.
@@alanparsonsfan all of the food manufacturers have reserve warehouses , as a OTR independent I have delivered and picked up from these places . I stopped driving in December after 16 year career , since 2020 I saw first hand how the fields didn’t have enough workers planting, and picking, now when things can be done with machines like corn, wheat,barley and such not much change but when it’s the softer commodity the people were given more $ to sit on their butts and do nothing than to work, was told multiple times that places like green giant, Hines and delmonte that not enough coming in to refill the reserves for the next year , those states that pushed stay home on the west coast and in Michigan, and along east coast do a lot of canning, from fruit, to veggies, fish, we are reaping what was sewn by governments in those states, the south raises more meat like chicken, pork, beef and feed for those animals the mid west raises corn and wheat, Louisiana, rice and sugar cane Arkansa, rice and chicken but the greenbeans, carrots,onions,tomatos,and stuffs are from California we as truckers call it the land of fruits, nuts, and veggies. Most don’t realize green giant, and Hines and gerber along with others get those veggies from there…no planters or pickers working the fields creating food shortage, and why should they? Our Government is giving them $ to run our borders, giving them homes, bank cards, so why would they work fields?
@@danielleterry180 Thank you for this detailed response. This is the level needed to get people you love to get moving. Thanks for all the delivering you did do!
My husband, Curtis Eller, is an amazing songwriter and banjo player. He has a song called "Last Year's Seed" about failing crops. He wrote it a few years ago, but it sure does ring true these days! Most of his songs are historical, if those of you here like banjo music you'll probably like his songs :)
Yeah my family called me crazy for years because I enjoy gardening and canning and drying the food I grow. I love my chickens and taking care of a cow or two. Once the pandemic hit and people couldn't find or buy food because of lost jobs I had family come to me to learn how to garden and can food. Turns out I'm not so crazy 🤣
You're not crazy. You're smart to create food. It can help you build skills to become helpful in society.
You are crazy before the disaster, You are smart after the disaster!

Do you really comprehend that they are INTENTIONALLY LYING to people?
Malachi 2 proves Malachi 3:8-12 is prophetic instruction for the thieving church leaders to repent and bring back the money they were never supposed to take and God will end Covid. Every single minister on television has known this since August of 2020 but they LOVE MONEY so much, they INTENTIONALLY CHOSE TO KILL everyone with Covid instead of bringing it back!
WOW! Are you awake yet?
Being awake is a GOOD thing, don't listen to demon hybrids that tell you otherwise.
I wish I had someone to teach me. I willie nillied my garden. Still learning what loves and what hates the heat out here. Still haven't learned to can.
Anyone who even thinks "farmers are ripping us off" has never managed a farm, and has never worked as hard as a farmer.
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.
So true. I am a doctor. But believe me how I wished to be a farmer ! They re so blessed to be able to produce their own food and for the rest of us that don’t even are grateful
Agree. It's never the farmer that 'rips off', ripping off starts after the farm gate, right up to the supermarkets
I hate to bring politics into this, but I feel a lot of the "farmers are ripping us off" statements are being hugely amplified from people with a vested interest in inflaming discourse and dividing the country. And in reality is a thing only the fringe of the fringe and intentional trolls are actually saying.
@@kssarh I live in St Louis, and people in this city say it not because they're trolls - they actually believe that farmers are responsible for food prices.
I think a lot of people have been mislead by shows like "Doomsday Preppers". Prepping doesn't have to be taken to such extremes and most of us don't. Having some extra food and supplies for tough economic times is just smart planning.
Unfortunately even reasonable stockpiling to provide for your own family will likely be called "hoarding" when the SHF. That's how it has happened in other countries and shows like "Doomsday Preppers" paved the way by creating a perception of something not being quite right with people who like to be prepared.
@ Aniquin Stark....You are so right..Ive learn to buy in bulk because we lived so far from any store...so canning was and still is the thing to do...
Some buy chicken for eggs but those chicken are like rubber when cooked...so its better getting Guials ...or even ducks...they eat outside food and are also delicious meat...and provide eggs too...a few ducks and geese...that's a des meals there too...
Agreed. Can prepare without the drama lol
Yes I think a lot of it is click bait. Of course people need to be prepared the best they can. But have you ever noticed the subliminal messages in most apocalypse movies...always a fully stocked home/bomb shelter where the owners left/fled the home...hmmm🤔 No guarantees in having a fully stocked home. Prayer is necessary.
A huge stockpile of anything makes you a ripe target.
I live on a farm in southern Maine. It’s a vegetable farm for the most part. The husband and wife farmers are very worried about their crops this year. The prices of seed has skyrocketed and they don’t think their even going to be able to turn a profit. You are absolutely right. It’s getting really bad and it’s going to get much worse. People need to start planting their own gardens and canning, dehydrating, ext. money won’t do you any good if there’s not any food to buy!!
You are so right about everything. One thing I can't stand here in Indiana is how big everyone's yards are and not one single thing growing except flowers, grass, and shade trees.
It's been this way for millennia, despite our acceptance of modern technology, science or political manipulation; we are not any smarter than our parents or even grand-parents. Each age is responsible for itself, so be well-informed.
I want to learn!
Plant beans. U get the seeds after harvested
Last paragraph interesting
The comments you shared are correct, terrifyingly correct. I am a micro farmer, a farm of 5 acres or less. I quit raising animals because my land will not grow pasturage and feed got too expensive. I grow vegetables, herbs, berries and fruit for our local farmers market. So many people don’t understand the time it takes to grow food. I am frequently asked why I don’t have tomatoes in June. (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. Those tomatoes come from Mexico and were picked green to survive being shipped to your store.
Most people don’t understand food shortages because they haven’t experienced them. They are about to get a hard lesson.
they also gas their fruits to speed ripening.
On the tomatoes as I can still remember, barely dammit,but they are canning purposes...we here have the 4 spring summer fall winter
I planted my first garden this year. And picked from a local strawberry patch to make 4 batches of jam… the farmers market is my favorite place to go for my veggies! Thank you for what you do
Especially, the people that run around with the politics and go in the stores and take the Frozen and refrigerated food and leave it out to spoil. They're in for a big shock!

These large farms are very important... the backbone of America.
Most smaller farms are not in business any more .
Some are , thank God.
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.
Amen to that

in Australia the gov. already sold all our best farmlands to china
This started to happen here in Agrentina, once called "the world's barn". The costs of producing food skyrocket every year, some items like oil and milk are rationated from time to time, and we have cases of, just to give an example, fat being sold as meat. And who does the media blame for all of this? The farmers! The issue is a bit more complex but is a foreshadowing of what is heading towards you in the years to come if this doesn't change. Don't let this happen to your country. Politics are not edible.
Meat and dairy aren't healthy. They cause cancer and heart disease and diabetes. Go vegan.

I have productive fruit trees, berries, and grapes, along with mature nut trees. Our rabbits poo and chicken poo is used for fertilizer and I can, dry, and freeze everything I can get my hands on and I have figured out ways to turn leftovers into the next meal. I stretch food as far as I can. That is just a life long habit and I am so glad that I am accustomed to it. I am proud to be referred to as a prepper and country girl!

I mean how are poor people suppose to deal with the lack of one of their best, high quality protein sources - the mighty egg?!?!
Yesss! Good for you! DO NOT COMPLY!
Get yourself a flock of "emotional support chickens" then see what they say. First convince your doctor you need emotional support, so you have a doctors note in defense of your small flock of fowl. One must fight fire with fire, crazy laws must be challenged with what ever means possible. Keep us posted.
Get hens put in area out of public's eye. no roosters needed for eggs. Good luck. And it called totalitarian government control 😡

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. My granddaughter will drive a 10 mile round trip just to get a fruit smoothie. You can't tell them anything. They have had it too good all their life. When crunch time comes, they will be devastated.
🆘👉🏼Brenda do you pray? Thats more important than anything. I heard a story on world news about a Australian house standing and all in the street were burnt from the fires over their. They prayed this man said. They both got on their knees and prayed. So remember to confess your sins clean up your soul and GOD looks after his own. (He is in charge) Why are more people getting sick, demonics are having a time of there life infecting humans as it is easy to get humans sick through sin. A FACT friend.
We in America have been terribly spoiled and the younger people are about as worthless as a pimple on my reared in all honesty.
@@lovetruth5733 I feel your pain , our loved ones do not listen to the point we are silenced. You are right Our loving God is trying to get our attention. Prayer is our chance to be free. God will look after us and if we are willing to share He will multiply whatever we have. May God bless you, keep on trusting .We will see miracles and have Joy for His Glory.
A smoothie is the most simple thing you can make. I can't imagine driving 10 miles to purchase an overpriced smoothie when you can make it yourself and make it exactly the way you want, for 1/4 the price. I agree that people in America and a few other advanced countries have been experiencing prosperity and comfort for a very long time and unfortunately, history has shown us that this leads to a weakening of the human condition.
I’m 49 & I’ve had a great life but I see the forest through the trees & there isn’t much that can be done to curb what is going on.
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 lived in a 3rd world country for the first ten years of my life and I remember being hungry, going to sleep hungry sometimes but not even knowing why my tummy ached. Its horrible, now I look at how people throw food away here by the dumpster loads, and you can't even try to use that food without being thrown in jail. This is a reckoning for our country, People in the US have no clue man. I feel really sorry that this is happening, my family brought us here to escape all the bad stuff that was happening, and now in my old age it all comes back to haunt me, the cities burning, the riots, people in the streets, the insanity. I'm very sorry folks but we are headed for some really scary times here, we were warned though, and no one paid attention.
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.
Forgive my rambling as I reflect on how great full I am to have these skills, never thinking them as such. Great full that my belly isn’t rumbling in pain as yours did.
Thank you for your insightful comment. 🙏
@@nameissturdy1390 That's a Beautiful statement, thank you.
As an American, we are truly sorry. We don't like wasting food and so on, but many sadly do, and businesses should just be giving food they'll throw away, but is perfectly fine, out to others or the homeless. America is so privlvidged, yet liberals take advantage of it. It's quite sad.
Also, we were warned. It's just that majority (which are liberals) are the reason why we're going down the path we're going, and they're not listening to the truth we speak. It's because of satan, the elites up at the top with so much power. We know why everything is going downhill.
My family think I’m a scare monger when I let them know the politics are heading down a scary dirt road!!!
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.
Be careful about using only cracked corn for feed. I only use it sparingly for my hens, mostly in the Winter to increase their body heat, but just as a supplement to a more nutritious hen feed.
Yeah. Where I'm at people are having trouble growing this year.
Thanks for the awesome tips and encouragement to grow our own.
@Blonde K What is a grow zone? This seems new since we could grow almost anything when I was a child. Some commenters here say their towns aren't allowed chickens. These laws seem suspect and unfair
@@LisaMaryification I think it’s because roosters tend to be loud at five o’clock in the morning. That’s what happened in my neighborhood years ago.
I’ve been telling friends and family that this is going to happen and yet they continue to roll their eyes at me. I’m not a farmer but have been following the trends and government policies that are causing this. Thank you for sharing and hope people hear this message and wake up to what is coming
Same here, however my son is finally opening his eyes. My mom has a few canned goods but nothing that's sustainable. People are blind
I know something isn't right because of how how our leaders have been acting.. ever since COVID first hit and that they were in denial about THAT! But you can just sense it that it's about to get serious. it's going to be hell on everyone. We're just too overpopulated to begin with.. and when everyone go crazy.. it's going to be like a snowball effect of craziness and panic and everyone for themselves basically. Even with marshall law.
@@brendaamerica2926 they're way out numbered when you're talking about the whole country of 300 million people starving and doing the unthinkable to try and stay alive. Hope for some solutions.. but at this point we're the laughing stock of the world! Nobody's going to help us!?
Too many people do not understand cause and effect. Critical thinking and rational thought is almost extinct.
I agree with you, but I’d be glad if we are wrong and nothing too awful happens!
I just want to say the following:
I HAVE THE UPMOST RESPECT FOR FARMERS! THEY ARE THE REASON WE HAVE FOOD. I'M 100% CITY GIRL, AND HAVE LEARNED THROUGHOUT THE YEARS JUST HOW AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL THEY ARE.

A lot of people are detached from reality when it comes to growing food and the work that goes into it. Its definitely taken for granted. I pray that this passes and quick. I try my best to support our local farms. I don't care how much it costs.
Support yr local stores. I have planted fruit trees in my backyard. Also blackberry bush & raspberry bush. I'd would suggest making a hot house especially in the inner cities

Thank You . As I sit here digesting the post you read I can only cry. I have been stocking for over a year but my family doesn’t hear me when I warn them of what’s to come. Thank you for sharing the post and thank you to the farmer who was brave enough and honest enough to share it with us. I’m afraid we are in for a hard and long ride. And my heart breaks for those who have no ears to hear. God bless and God be with you all
chloerose1953, I too have been stocking and my family says I am over doing it. I was told that if another bag of food comes in, that my sister was going to put out on the street. People are just dumb, they will not believe it until it happens.
Don’t cry. Just do the best you can and God will take care of you. Hugs from Wisconsin. PS. Most of my family doesn’t listen either, to busy blowing money on going out to eat. But one of my sons bought a small farm a year ago and is growing his second large garden. Just lead the way and be ready to educate them about what they will need to do to survive.😊

The best you can do is accept Jesus as your saviour. The time to come is called the tribulation in the bible. Whoever believes in Jesus Christ will be raptured (snatched away) before that (so, very soon). After that, all hell will break loose on this earth. In total, more than half of earth population will die in 7 years.
Accept Jesus as your lord and saviour, repent of your sins and believe, that Jesus died for your sins on the cross. Than you are made right with god and he will keep you from his wrath thats coming on this earth.
Its all in the bible. And its all beginning to happen right as it is written. The time we have is short!
@@laazfreeze3982 You are right, it is all coming together and the signs are clear. I already started going to church, I need to seek God's face.
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.
Just like the price of gas being played with back in the 70s? Why do I see containers pilled up in train yards and on train tracks over a mile long. And that's just one small area. Do the one's know who are playing the entire game know they are going to have to leave soon, so they are pillaging all they can? And would buying just what you need only bring prices down? Maybe there just getting payed back for lost revenue from last year. Both gas co. and grocery stores. ✌💖
Yes, God bless you, Lilu, and we were all MOCKED for prepping. And now those people are shocked and wondering WHY. Very sad. NOW they're panicking.
I heard a saying, WHEN DISASTER STRIKES, THE TIME TO PREPARE HAS PASSED. We can only be concerned about our immediate family unit and protect that. It is out of our hands when those that are unprepared, and have been warned, are faced with dealing with their ignorance.
@@misspandesal I know you are probably right as the Mormons tried to warn us years ago to have at least a years worth of food for your family. And like you said what would one do without? Just walk up to someone's door and beg ? And would you try to help them ? And lastly, Would desperate one's try to just take from your family for their families knowing the consequences of what will happen to your family's? I myself would probably say take what you want but please do away with my family and I as I do not want to see them suffer. ✌💖
I live and work in a farming community and I can tell you many local farmers are getting out of it for the reasons stated in that letter you read. They are keeping enough to feed three family and maybe share with a few. It's going to get harder and harder. 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. Get a wood burning bbq, lanterns, etc. And prepare for the hardest roller coaster ride of your life. And get right with God..you will need an advocate in your corner...

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
This is not only happening in the US. I am witnessing the same thing across the world. It's important you know your farmer, the grocery store/supermarket does not grow your food.
I've been trying to get people to listen for years in this small town I moved to. They absolutely think my cheese has flown off my cracker.. My hubby and I are labeled as the local nuts. I will not give up trying to get them to see the light. I'm working day and night into the wee hours doing my gardening and pantry . I'm over gardening so I can share with my elderly neighbor who is alone. It's the Christian thing to do. Our cattle feed is only 1 buck higher because the place we buy it sources everything in my state of TX. Now I know my dog and cat food has gone up.. The cat food was 75 bucks for 4 50lb bags.. It's now almost 130 bucks. Dog food only went up by 3$ a bag. We are getting ready to get all of our fowl.. It's still cheap made in store by the same people who make my cow feed.

As someone who works at a feed store and pays attention to this stuff, I try to tell people what I know. I've barely been able to convince my family that it's going to get this bad. Most of them don't disbelieve me, but their response is usually "people are going to get angry". Me, I've been buying and planting fruit trees these past couple of years. One day, my brother in law asked me, "why are you doing this?" When I told him why he said, "That's not going to happen, I bet my money on it." I almost asked him "Are you willing to bet your family on it?" He has four children...Anyway, now he still won't admit he was wrong but he's starting to take steps to prepare.
Never will admit, rather sink to the bottom.
@@andrewmoens8614 Well, he's at least bought some chickens and accepted my gift of a large quantity of stored food. He's not dumb, but he and my sister(his wife) are proud people.

What you wrote sounds just like my situation.
My friends don't want to even tell their young adult children to "start growing your own food" because
they 'don't want to scare them" I tell them:
How scary do you think it is to watch your child die of hunger?" These people are out partying and talking about useless stuff- like the score of a ball game- they have no clue- they don't even want to look. most all my family and friends who have food/plants- have them because i've provided them with the plants.

@@jett888 It's each individual's perspective on what is valuable to them. I started a garden later in life and didn't realize how I could've encouraged my kids at a younger age that it was fun and exciting to see plants grow from seed to a delicious, living piece of food/creation! God gives everyone chances, but being too late in our decision making is their own fault. People's focus are in the wrong place.
Thank you. I do have to disagree that it ‘isn’t meant to scare anyone.’ People need to wake up and feel a healthy dose of fear. Peoples personalities change, a lot, when food is scarce or non existent. To feed themselves and family, they will do anything. 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. If they know you have food, they will come for it.
Everyone who has stores knows that and is prepared.
People are already too scared. Fear is what got us into this mess. The world closed it doors and shut down because a they listened to politicians told them a cold would kill them. Like cowardly sheep they hang on every word from there favorite politician or news host to tell them what they should do, how to react, what to think. What people need now more than anything is to stop being afraid

Living in a heavily regulated Mid-Atlantic state, I started to notice last year that local fields went unplanted. Just in the last week or so taking a ride in our county, I mentioned to my husband that it seemed as if more and more fields were growing up weeds devoid of any crops. 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.
Have you considered chicken alternatives like ducks?
A great proactive plan. Please keep us posted so we can learn from your experience. Thank you!
My town has restrictions on chickens, I did it anyway. I dare anyone to say anything to me.
I'm wondering how it would work to grow chickens from inside my row house.
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 daughter sent me this. She was always into nature and growing things. Terrariums, gardening, flowers, frogs, cats and cows you name it. She planted a huge garden this year. 30X30 yards? My other daughter is a bean counter with a degree in International Economics or some such. They have been talking about this. I am listening in.
This is absolutely the most well thought out and articulate way the problem at hand has been explained, thanks.
Yes definitely very articulate!!!!!
We had preps before a derecho took out the power for a week. Our family always joked that we were crazy, but when the storm happened our close family knew where to come for help. We walked door to door checking on the elderly neighbors and offering water. I think most people just think it'll never happen to them, and now we're not so crazy after all. Oh, and the rest of the family now stocks up and we're ready for the next storm or whatever obstacles we are faced with. Please do your part and help others as you are able. Go to a local antique shop and purchase tools that don't require power. Have a conversation with some elderly folks, learn from the wise.
Love this. 💖
There was a blackout for several days in our city back when my children were very young and I asked some family members to come get us and they refused stating it was dangerous (for them). Those are the same people who call you 'crazy' for being prepared. Lol. So, I learned not to listen to them and not to count on them. Do what you feel is right.
what country?
Was it lowa ? If so it was bad! We all help neighbors here.
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 ?
Wow! What a life to have lived, all the satisfying hard work of the old days! So wonderful to have great memories of helping and working with your father and mother! Thank you for sharing! Very heartwarming and uplifting.
The perfect farm life. I don’t care about hard labor, I do it anyway.
Hi, my mother is 77 years old and she tells me how she lived when she was growing up, very hard work. She tells me life was beautiful. That the food tasted delicious. And people where different hard working respectful kind men and women. 👏🏻
Thank you for that little mental
Adventure. I enjoyed it.
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.
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. Thank you for sharing and I do hope people will pay attention.
To be educated is to be able to spot the difference
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.
that lowers property values...only grass allowed
What if you are in a upstairs apartment with no patio?
@@hobopowerrangers I'm literally growing luffas and hot peppers in a west-facing window sill. Just set up a card table (or anything else stable enough) so the pots get the right amount of light.
(if no windows i would call that a human rights violation.)
YT's algorithms suggested this video and I'm so glad I watched it. You have a humble heart and a gentle spirit and I agree with the information you shared as you read the letter from the farmer. I just subbed.
My dad was born and raised on a farm in Illinois. I knew nothing of that way of life until as a teen i spent a summer with the relatives working on the farm. I know of next to no one who work harder to feed the nation than farmers. I have a deep appreciation for what they do. The people accusing and complaining don't have a clue. This is a great video with rare insight into what is really happening with farming.
We are in the UK and my husband has been having us prepping for 5 or so years now. He said to me. "something bad is coming, I don't know what, but we need to be prepared". Oh boy was he right. We don't tell anyone about our prepping. We are also prepped in other ways too.

Great post, & thank-you for bringing this up!
In Canada, we had 43 rail cars of potash derail, JUST in time for planting. We have Health Canada going around massacring chickens because of 'bird flu.' I know this probably just sounds like hearsay, but a friend's father is best friends with a man who works for them & says he's baffled, because they're going around wiping out perfectly healthy flocks because one or two may have 'tested' positive.' He's very upset about this. We also had a very large & busy abattoir burn to the ground & will take 3 years to rebuild. A friend had to scramble to have her chickens processed & called in family to help. Not everyone would have been so lucky!
I did a little digging & I discovered that here in Canada, we're testing these critters using PCR technology, which even our Chief Medical officer of health, Barbara Yaffe, has admitted the tests yield false positive 50% of the time or higher. She's also basing nothing on actual science & was caught on a hot mic session admitting that she just 'reads what they tell her to.' Many of us are asking who THEY are, but getting no answers from the powers that be. Some of us are researching & we have found that the THEY she talks about is the W0RLD EC0N0MlC F0RUM. I know you won't be allowed to talk about them, or if you do, you'll get a strike, hence why I have used zeroes rather than O's to spell it.
Good for you for warning your children, unlike so many "parents" out there. They outright refuse to examine observable reality.
Hello from Australia, first time on your channel . Well said ,clear concise and calm . I feel you are a wounderful and sincere person . So good on you, we all need to get this warning .

This farmer made a good point that many people don't understand where their food comes from. I can hardly wrap my head around that. I'm working on prepping almost every day. My garden is doing well so far but one bad storm could wipe me out. We just have to push on and videos like these may help others start to do something to help themselves.
Its true. Ive experienced where my garden was wiped out after 3 weeks of good growth and 6 months of soil prepped. all washed away in a freak flood that overtook our street and washed out areas that were never washed out before. I follow someone that commented we should be having back ups for when our back ups fail such as when our garden veggies fail. have storebought backups for those items.
This is why I plant in pots, and buckets, if something happens, I can move and protect them.
Well, everyone knows that food comes from the store 😂
@@lanabisson2675 backups for your backups. That's what I am doing.
@@sharonbice7490 This storm we experienced was sudden in middle of the night 1am. It came on so fast, 3and half inches in 1 hour, not to mention I live downhill from all the runoff coming at me. So much water overwhelmed drains knocked out walls in my greenhouse moved fully loaded large rubbermade tubs that I could not move, but the water carried those heavy tubs through a pipe and moved them and everything in my greenhouse nearly 2blocks away. There was no time. Like I said it was a freak sudden. No time to prepare. It collapsed a terraced bank that was 5 layers of terracing. brought a bunch of gravel from up the road into my back yard. The storms we are experiencing are worse than previous years.
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.
We have 26 hens and two roosters and sell extra eggs to our neighbours and family members. We got chickens about 6 years ago when we moved to the county. It was always something I wanted to do where my grandparents did. We have learned a lot during this time and I think one thing average person wanting to get chickens doesn’t realize is keeping chickens is not cheap, and it isn’t easy. It is work. You won’t be self sufficient with 6 chickens and no rooster (cities only allow that number here)There is also a lot of factors you can’t control. The weather, chicken illnesses, predators. It isn’t a no brainer and there is a learning curve. We learn new things about our flock constantly and have to remain vigilant to make sure they are all ok. You just don’t jump into having chickens because you want to be self sufficient now. You have to have knowledge and practice with success and failures. I’m glad we have a few years under our belts before things really get bad. The feed prices are much higher than when we started, and we had to increase our egg prices from $4.00 to $5.00 per Doz, or we would be giving our eggs away.
Thanks for sharing your experience
You are absolutely right. I've had over 50 chicks die at different ages due to not having background knowledge on how to care and protect them. I have 7 hens at the moment in a large roofed kennel with a small coop inside of it. I have been very successful that way. I'm wondering if there is a way to bring my hens to a farm with a rooster where they can breed? I can't keep roosters in my neighborhood. They are too loud and even with the crow collars, it wouldn't be enough.
@@misspandesal We let our hens hatch and raise chicks and no deaths!
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. "You'll starve to death," my grandparents would say.
@@PistolPattt You can't grow enough food to supply the calories for yourself in a larger city.
Hello, Thank you for reading that email from a Canadian viewer as she is right on the money!! I live in Nebraska ( one of the major state producers of beef) and I am here to tell you that it is going to get real for a lot of people very soon if they don't start now to prepare for what is about to hit this country as far as food and other niceties. Farmers have been warning us, sites such as this have been warning us and even our own Government agencies have been warning us of shortages to come. This shortage will hit all countries not just 3rd world as most seem to think. Yes we are (were) the land of plenty but not this time around. Take care that you have plenty of everything to get you through a year if not longer as things need to get back into production. Also if you live in the city try and get out as soon as possible because when this shortage hits as hard as the experts are saying the cities are going to suffer first before those of us in the country. People will do anything for food and water. I also am a very firm believer that the LORD is coming very soon so also prepare your spiritual needs as well as your personal needs.
And this time around, we do not have the same kind of people of the Great Depression era. Going to get insane in the cities and rough for rural.

This is exactly what I have been telling one of my sons. He keeps trying to tell me there are no shortages, that stores are hoarding the food to get you to pay higher prices. No matter how I argue the position that you are not seeing it because it hasn't really hit us yet. Farmers are downsizing that's why they're still food on the shelves. Next year will be when the real shortages begin. I'm glad this farmer spoke up and I'm glad you chose to talk about it on your program. Thanks Tony
I've been telling my family too. My daughter "doesn't have time" to think about things like that ... she has three small children. I just want to pull my hair out. My mom and dad are, at least, listening. However, they don't have any idea how enormous this this going to get. So, you're not alone. I'm ending up trying to plan for my daughter and her children to come to my house if they don't have food. That's all I can do. It does make it more of a burden on me, but I can't let my grandchildren starve.
I have the same attitude with my sons. Mom doesn't know, Until She Does!
My issue is my elderly mother in law who lives very remotely in a very inhospitable rural area in outback Australia. The things I told her about 18 months ago are just beginning to show now. I worry how she will cope all alone, without family , so far away when everything is unaffordable. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.
Same thing my hubby says. “They just want to rise prices, we’ve always had inflation we’ll be paying more but the food will always be there..”

Thank you from New Zealand. It’s great to see others awake to the fact it’s not today it will hit, but tomorow, and by then it’s too late for those who didn’t believe. As you can guess from the name I’m a Angus stud farmer, few sheep chooks and pigs thrown in to supply family and friends. My issue is going to be stock theft…I’m not far from a rather troublesome town here and theft is already an issue (fuel, bikes etc), it pretty soon it will turn to food.
I agree…you can only tell those who want to hear it…for too many it’s easier to believe the tv and politicians, and according to them it’s the farmers fault. Most of NZ is not armed, but many farmers are. I’m hoping it never comes to it, but I will protect and feed my family to the very best of my ability
As a USA citizen living in another Country, it’s not just the USA. The entire world is going through this. Leaders from all around the world are saying we are going to have food shortages by fall. Farmers all around the world are saying food shortages.
It is being done on PURPOSE!!! The powers that be are wicked, sinister monsters and they have very twisted sinister objectives. America is in COLLAPSE - most just refuse to see it. Virtually Everything is in extremely short supply or not available at all and will not be available for months upon months upon months if ever. This is the type of situation brewing that you read about in history books!!!
@@deplorablesrus8457 I know but sadly it’s not just The states. Most of the world leaders are doing the same to their people. They are trying to bring in the 1 world order. Sadly Americans still have more freedom and control than the rest of the world. Look at Canada. Castros son Trudeau is acting like a dictator or not hiding it.
I'm an American expat as well, and I've noticed the same. The only difference seems to be that people don't seem to be talking about it at all where I am.
I'm an expat in East Africa. Prices of food and fuel here are going up. Cooking oil is getting short. I've been warning people for a while to prepare, plant a garden. Some listen most don't. I think this will be worse than the Great Depression but will be global. Get prepared to meet God.
This whole thing has been planned for many years by the people in power..... they are NOT our friends
Please continue to share this information. City folk are NOT paying attention. We need to stand with your farmers.
will do!!
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.
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.

And unfortunately 40% of the food that goes on the market in the United States of America goes in the garbage…. So really is there a problem ? …. 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.
My father predicted THIS before his death 20 years ago.
Being a farmer myself I can tell you everything that was said is true. So expect things to get really rough this winter.
And many more winters to come.

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.
That’s a problem, growing foods (we) eat all the time: McDonalds, pizza, etc.
Folks don’t know what to do with leafy greens 🥬 or even pumpkins 🎃 - as food.
Money is still a problem for everyone if you haven't noticed, most people just suck at saving it and not touching it.
@@aarondaniel6630 That's so true! That's one of the cultural shifts in the way people think that came about due to an era of ease and affluence. And it'll be hardest on the folks that don't grasp that that era is over, and are willing to make lifestyle changes accordingly.

Thank you. I'm glad to see "regular" folks starting to wake up to what is really about to happen. We "conspiracy theorists " have been warning of this for months but our warnings fell upon deaf ears mostly. If the lack of food being produced sounds worrisome, add to that this year more than 50 food processing plants have been destroyed by fire, 100s of millions of chickens have been culled or destroyed by fire, and 10s of thousands of cattle have just died which I believe they're saying was because of hot weather. We are about to enter times where average people in America will actually feel what hunger is. So buckle up and do what you can now to prepare for the scariest ride you've ever been on. Good luck to you all
Amen Brother!!!
They said it was due to hot weather right after the FDA approved a new CRISPR heat resistant gene to *put into?* cows.

KEEP DOING what you do best, Toni! Report the facts and KEEP ENCOURAGING folks to jump on board. You are doing your part and then some.💕

Ignorance isn't bliss, it just makes everyone else's life harder
@@ericabruton8087 Exactly.... and I believe the next sentence to that poem is an example of what is happening now: “Where ignorance is bliss, Tis folly to be wise.” (Ode on a Distant Prospect at Eton College). What I hear and see around me is people in denial. The common remark I get when I encourage people to have a reserve of food in their home is, "Oh if anything happens, the government with take care of us." Or I hear, " That only happens in 3rd world countries, not the US."
Thank You! We try!!
I think part of it is denial. We've been so spoiled for so long (generally speaking) that we don't know how to do without. They put their heads in the sand and sing lalala I can't hear you because they don't know (and don't WANT to know) how to deal with it. I know way too many people like this.
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.
I totally agree. We hobby farm sheep, eggs and veggies out in Alberta and downsized last year cause hay skyrocketed due to the drought. Even this year small squares are $10 and up. Luckily we buy a beef from a local family farm and our meat chicken from the Hutterites but they told me last week they would have to raise prices soon.
I'd suggest people stock up what they can and support local farmers.
I am going to a local farmer today because they have a 30 lb special for $210. It's 15 lbs of ground beef and 15 lb of steak and roast. It comes out to $7 a pound. But what i see at the grocery isn't any better in price. I can make room in my freezer for that much, I hope. I want some of their frozen sweet corn too...it's been frozen, but heard it's delicious. I may check on their pork too.
@@ooohhitskaren63 I got a 1/4 share of a local cow, about two months ago. Based on getting 175 pounds of packaged meat (ground beef, a small number of ribeye and t-bone steaks, a few roasts, etc), and totaling what I paid the farmer and what I paid for the processing, my average cost per pound of beef was about $3.00 USD. I live in a mostly rural area, in the central midwestern USA.
This woman has a fantastic personality.
Our family has stocked up, and we have repetitive food supplies. More importantly, we have communicated and have set up plans with neighbors to pool resources. A community is much more productive on the slim times. This was taught to me by my grandmother who was a Great Depression child. Learn from others and help a neighbor.
I get the idea of being prepared, I try myself. However, historically if things get bad enough all your preparations will likely be for nothing. A consistent historical fact is that when food supply and commodities becomes scarce the government pillages it's own citizens. Police/military will go door to door and take anything they want, food, money, valuables, tools, weapons... This has already happened in America. It was a common practice in the south during the civil war and has been repeated all over the world for thousands of years. We saw something similar during Hurricane Katrina. Historically the police and military WILL NOT defend you and you will not win if you fight back. They'll take what they want and kill anyone who gets in their way. Just food for thought. But what choice do we have? We still need to prep.

Thank you for posting this. I try to delicately explain this to my friends and family and they look at me like I’m crazy. I can see it clear as day and it’s painful knowing that they won’t be ready. I can’t take care of everyone and I loose sleep trying to figure out if I should sell my heifers or keep them for meat for my loved ones. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one seeing this coming
Don't give away your heifers, or lose money. I have helped raise cattle. You poured your time, money, and effort into them. Bet your bottom dollar, you will need every bit of that money. Your friends, and family are responsible for themselves. You told them what was coming. If the heifers are going to market, offer to sell them one. If they still think you're crazy, just move on.
We will all have difficult decisions to make !!
I find it is best to just say things like "I am stocking up because prices are going up every week and in the long run it saves me money". I found no o e can argue with that and I don't sound "crazy".
@@practicallyheidi8505 excellent point! this is exactly the excuse I’m giving my husband for our larger grocery lists. He can not see what is happening right before our eyes. He thinks it’s all “conspiracies”🙄 says I’m being paranoid.
@@monicageller226 He'll be thanking you down the road.
I came across your channel today. I haven't watched any videos of yours before, but I subscribed after hearing you read the farmers letter.
I appreciate when people educate others about what is happening. Thank you for your service in helping people prepare for these difficult times ahead
Thanks and welcome
I also subscribed upon her reading of the letter!
Me too
Me too!
@@luvastandardbred8270 Same!
Your message was delivered so sincerely, your words are kind and yes, has made a difference for me. Thank you 💜
You are so welcome
Thank you so much for sharing ..and thank the woman farmer for telling us the big picture.....I live in Quebec..and my friends just laugh at me when I mention that they should stock up...I don' t say anything anymore..and stocking up for myself and my dog..started growing vegetables in cloth bags....and maintaining myself in good physical , mental, emotional and spiritual health daily...once the weather and water warms up, I will be swimming in the lake daily and enjoy this summer...as much as I can. ..be well
Maintaining your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health is of paramount importance. I admire your attitude, ma'am!
@@rosehavenfarm2969 ..it is a daily commitment..each day is different..and adapting is the key...and I had to let some friends go because they were always looking for dramas....good luck to you...!
Thank you for reading this to us. As a small farmer myself, I can say that she is not only right, but she has the correct assumption on what people see and feel about food security. They do not understand how agriculture works and the time it takes to replenish a supply like meat, eggs and even vegetables.
I stopped trying to talk my neighbors into growing food and keeping livestock, or at least chicken. They seem happy enough to buy from me, but none is willing to do the work to have access to their own food supply. They smile like I'm a crazy person when I start telling them the only way to make sure they have a food supply is to participate in it, all because the shelves are full.
If I tell them something about the price of my chicken feed, they stare blankly and ask me why I buy feed if my chicken are free range? They have no idea. They don't even see why I put in the effort to maintain a flock of Buckeye, seeing that pullets of the commercial kind here sell for $10.
When I say this is my way of making sure I have a supply of chicken if commercial hybrids are no longer available, they shake their heads. I'm the village crazy woman.
They do this when I talk about my heirloom seed company as well. Why bother with heirloom when hybrids are "better"? There will always be seeds to buy at the home depot, after all.
So true, but so sad.
I suggest u move away from them, they ll be real threat when u stop selling them anything!
Sadly, this is so true!
Gotta get your guns ready when they realize the food shortage is real and you’re no longer able to sell to them !
As a farmer yourself, what exact brands and companies have you bought your feed from over the years? I can't seem to convince my family. But if I compile a data sheet of current feed prices and more data, maybe I can convince them. Regardless, I'm personally very curious about the question in general.
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!!! 😫
Thankyou for sharing. We can tell you are a caring person. And if our kids don't pay attention to the warnings and then it happens, it will be their consequences of their poor listening and their poor decision making.
You're doing great by putting the warning out there. 💖👍
Yes. I'm British and I live in England. Our supermarkets are full of goods like normal but I think we won't notice much until the autumn after the harvest season. I also think its a good idea to stock up tinned food in case there is a problem with electricity supply. After all there's a problem with everything else.
I noticed my grocery bill has gone up about 50%.
@logic is biracial that's a great idea. Must look into that.
@logic is biracial Yes. I also have been looking at food dehydrators..
Cattlemen were ordered to get rid of their livestock because of Covid. I don't think livestock can get Covid. I think it was just an excuse to introduce lab grown or 'cultured' meat. Disgusting.
From a farmers daughter in australia to a farmer overseas, well said.
things are going to get real bad here
🤜🤛🙌🤲🙏💞🇨🇦
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.
Wow. Great perspective
Sensible.
Deus Vult
It's understandable regardless of those whom can't understand it all. Thanks for all the hard work and time u have put in to producing, so others may feed their families. You don't get near enough credit or thanks! I send you mine from the divided states.
We are sitting this year out. We will see from there.
Thanks for this. When I was a kid, I remember grocery shopping with my mom and $100 worth had the basket full almost to bursting. Now that I'm on my own, I get $100 worth of groceries of the cheapest bulk options I can find and it doesn't last me a month... I only just became a "real" adult, and I feel so scared about my future.
I do not know what the future holds but I do know Who holds the future.
I know, right? If my mom bought $150 worth, that was enough to feed the four of us for 2 weeks! My grandparents had a big garden too, which supplimented the food of the whole 8 person extended family
You and the author has hit the nail on the head sadly. We are not in Canada or the USA but I feel this is a world wide problem. I hope people listen I know we are xxx
" I've warned my children and that's about all I can do " totally resonates with me. Mine all think I'm crazy. But they don't pay much attention. My grandparents grew up in the depression and I grew up fairly poor and I see what's coming. God bless you and all that are trying to warn others. However, you can lead a horse to water...
I wish everyone could see the disaster about to unfold and also the way it's been orchestrated
Amen! About once a month ive called my daughter snd she replies “Mom you said that last month”, well guess what? Im going to tell you again next month too cuz im your mom!! Ive “redpilled” two of my three but the stubborn one still thinks im crazy. Par for the course. I wont laugh at people who dont at least stock up on necessities, but im going to try real hard not to say “I told you so!”?
God bless our country and the whole world. 🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸
All I can say is a whole, whole lot of people are going to be very surprised and extremely unhappy in the very near future. They will end up becoming victims and or end up in some awful govt camp, etc, etc. There is no good reason for people not to stock up and put food back. A few cans each time and boom you could of had a large stockpile but no they wasted their money on stupid garbage, etc, etc. Good luck to you.
Check out the Georgia Guidestones!
@@davehendricks4824 why hasnt anyone torn those awful things down….they did it to statues!!
@@davehendricks4824 I already know all about them
Thank you for reading this heart felt letter. As someone who had a mixed farm in the 1980's I know exactly what this woman is saying. It was different then but many had to sell because the interest was sometimes 18%. This will be worse than then I fear because it is now global. I try and tell people but many feel I am reactionary. I am planting and growing and preserving all I can this year. Blessings.
Don't forget canned goods as your backups for your backups
Right. I just watched a video by "self sufficient me" that said that because of the months of rain that they've had substandard lettuce is 12$ a head.
So true! Water is another issue here out west! Thank you ! Will share!
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.
I'm from Kansas in the U.S. and small farms are almost unheard of as opposed to when I was growing up. It's all millionaire farmers with oil teaming up n buying all the land to ranch n drill to frac.
@@trump45and2zig-zags , it’s a real mess deliberately created by globalist powers. I’m beginning to think a 1776 scenario needs to take place to get the world back to rights.
@@richardlove4287 yep, we've been getn ready the last couple years. These fukrs in power don't have the other 99% in mind at all
Thanks for sharing this from another Aussie farmer in Victoria.👍🇦🇺
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
Hey Toni you did the right thing posting that as I’ve been seeing it on the news from time to time people just aren’t listening . I just mentioned to my daughter the other day that more and more people are going to go gluten free and maybe vegan as no choice as what they are eating now will not be available or not enough $$ to buy what is available .shout out to hunters and back yard gardeners . Stay safe good luck with your garden
That is why the governments are ensuring the prices are high. Google 3D printed food. The military are already making it. They don't want cows, or chickens. They have declared them methane producers, and destroying the planet.
Not enough money for meat in stores
Absolutely my experience
So 😊 I head to Wendy's for a $5 Biggie Deal
I get my meat YAY!
And clean up is way more efficient
That's exactly what your government wants. Don't eat meat. New Zealand is taxing farmers now for cattle emissions. It's all part of their agenda. They will control our food supply and dictate what and how much we eat. They want control over our lives. Those that control our food, energy, healthcare, our banks control our lives and maintain power.
@@obxertoo5912 Push back!
Gluten free food or flours are going to be more expensive and hard to find as time goes on. The beans, lentils and grains needed have been hit with the droughts and wash outs just like wheat. As someone who has been gluten free for nearly 40 years due to celiacs disease l see prices going up even more in the specialty isle.
Also I work on a dairy farm. Farms here in Canada are being pushed to the brink of bankruptcy by givt policies. It will be bad.
God Bless you, thank you forthe education you provide.
You are very kind, Thank You!
Thanks for taking time to read the post. Helpful info for non-farmers.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing! A farmer's perspective is certainly important to have. Much appreciated!
Thank you. A lot of people don't think we're having the problems that are being reported, my SO being one of them. It's very frustrating.
Thank you for your great advice. I’m in my seventies and live in an apartment with my son who has mental illness. We have begun storing food, quite a lot actually as he has become anxious that we will,not have enough to feed ourselves. Our cupboards and spare spaces are stacked with bins, which makes me anxious, as I feel the clutter weighing me down. I have bins on my balconies that have vegetables growing in them, but there won’t be enough to feed us constantly. I think I will resort to growing greens, as carrots and potatoes take too long to mature. We have about 50 kgs of rice so that might keep us going for a while. Also have flour, pasta, sugar, tinned food. I assume at some stage we will lose power, so frozen food can’t be relied on. I don’t know what else we can do. We can forage in parks if things get really bad. Luckily there some great information available, and I have lists of things I should do. Would appreciate any tips for city people trying to prepare. Many thanks 🙏🍀🍄🌞💐☔️🥕🥦🥬🍕🍰🍦🥓🥖👍
I've been canning my garden veggies since the world was gonna end in 2012. I cycle my jars and everything I am eating this year is from 5 years ago. If stores shut down tomorrow, I could eat for 4 years without growing more.
Northern Ireland here - this lesson is just as applicable here as there. Keep going - people need t o hear.
Very true. I have friends in the states that have not been able to buy pork and milk. A small loaf of raisin bread $6. They are pretty shocked. Even if you have the money, does not mean there will be food to buy. Thank you for sharing and getting the word out .
Farmers has too long been under appreciated for our food supply. This farmer's run down of how prices trickly down has been pood pood for too long and now people will begin to cry. It makes me want to cry to know that we will all be experiencing this craziness. Thank you so much for sharing her post with those of us who did not have a chance to see it before. Love and Grace to everyone
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. Not everyone will survive what’s coming, get your home right with the Lord and prep like your life depends on it! Grow like your life depends on it! God bless everyone
What is interesting is that almost the same problems are being felt here in Africa. Inflation, droughts, poor crop yields. You're right it is time to get right with the Lord Jesus, trusting him for wisdom, strength and sustenance. 🇰🇪
@Danielle Terry You aid that the market is being flooded with reserve food. Could you say from what reserves? Source for this information? Would greatly appreciate it.
@@alanparsonsfan all of the food manufacturers have reserve warehouses , as a OTR independent I have delivered and picked up from these places . I stopped driving in December after 16 year career , since 2020 I saw first hand how the fields didn’t have enough workers planting, and picking, now when things can be done with machines like corn, wheat,barley and such not much change but when it’s the softer commodity the people were given more $ to sit on their butts and do nothing than to work, was told multiple times that places like green giant, Hines and delmonte that not enough coming in to refill the reserves for the next year , those states that pushed stay home on the west coast and in Michigan, and along east coast do a lot of canning, from fruit, to veggies, fish, we are reaping what was sewn by governments in those states, the south raises more meat like chicken, pork, beef and feed for those animals the mid west raises corn and wheat, Louisiana, rice and sugar cane Arkansa, rice and chicken but the greenbeans, carrots,onions,tomatos,and stuffs are from California we as truckers call it the land of fruits, nuts, and veggies. Most don’t realize green giant, and Hines and gerber along with others get those veggies from there…no planters or pickers working the fields creating food shortage, and why should they? Our Government is giving them $ to run our borders, giving them homes, bank cards, so why would they work fields?

My husband, Curtis Eller, is an amazing songwriter and banjo player. He has a song called "Last Year's Seed" about failing crops. He wrote it a few years ago, but it sure does ring true these days! Most of his songs are historical, if those of you here like banjo music you'll probably like his songs :)
