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.
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!
This is all biblical,amerikkka will fall,she is reaping what she has sown,slavery,stealing,killing and wicked.
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.
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 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!!!
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!
@@rachelmorgan4882Without Farmers we'd starve!
Small farmers are the key to our survival. Always have been, always will be.
Not according to Monsanto!
@@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.
Amen to that
@@Designer_TopG they are slowly being forced out of the farm, suicide rate for farmers is at all time high
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!
A person can't eat prayer
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.
President Biden is healing the country.
Grow Hemp it is food and lots of other products
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!
For some reason, the leftovers are the best meals I can cook. They never let me down.
I wish I had married you.
How does he feel about that? I'd feel threatened.
@@AussieChic968 TLDR: Send the book next time.
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.
My grandma was from Cremona. Maria Bosi was her name - she was wise and very hard worker.
Yes, "Farmers" are heroes and should be accordingly treated.
Say shouting, Good Day! Thanks for the work you do for all of us! Keep going, friend!
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.
in Australia the gov. already sold all our best farmlands to china
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
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.
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.
well said
Yes.
Truckers also, they are being bullied out of their jobs also. Thank you Farmers and their Families! 👏🇺🇸💕
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.
My mother came from a farm. They had good teeth & strong bones, & a lot of common sense
I am a farmer. 100% stand for this farmer message!
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...🤓😏
God Bless you and we are all praying for our farmers
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
Same!
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.)
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?!?!
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 😡
Try quail instead! Many places don't have laws about quail, just chickens.
A lot of these regulations are to keep people dependent on the system
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. ✌💖
"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....
look after yourself first then!!
You're damn right!
I'm hearing a lot of small farmers say the same thing. Already feeding last year's hay so there will be no hay next year, and spending 2-3X as much for feed and prices are still rising. Fuel prices have more than doubled since last year. They can't afford to keep the animals so they send them to market and keep only enough for their family. Food prices are going parabolic, probably next winter when the artificial glut of the animals they can't afford to keep are gone and there are no animals to replace them.
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.
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

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
Friend, family or foe…none who haven’t prepped will be a safe place
It is written, fear is the beginning of wisdom.

No fear is not the beginning of wisdom. It is....”The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom:

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
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.
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.
@@sandrataylor8966 thank you!

@@sadiebenson1888 oh you are so kind!! Thank you for the thought! We're just a little too far apart! Blessings to you!
Thank you for the warning. I am sitting here trying to think who I can forward it to, but sadly, I don't know anyone who will listen and take action. Of course, when it is too late, they will say, "No one told me." They always say that.
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.
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. 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.
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!!! 😫

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 :)
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’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

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.
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...

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.

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.

What is really scary is knowing what's coming but not having the means to stock up. LORD help us all. 🙏
Get what you can. Buy complete protein combinations like beans & rice. Quinoa is good too. Our apartment has food storage in every spare nook & cranny!
You don't need to stock up. Remember when supermarkets were emerging? It's a lifetime ago, I know but everybody rushed to buy from supermarkets instead of small farmers. Small farmers were not able to be small farmers no more so if people are not happy about their food is of their own doing. A small farm is worth a lot more than millions USD. This has nothing to do with the market value but with the real value.
The most important/valuable things for human life are: the air we breathe, the water we drink, our health and the food we eat. There's nothing more valuable than these.

Thank you from a new subscriber....
Hi thanks for the info. I am not a prepper. I happened to click on a couple prepper videos over the last couple of months and you know UA-cam, they keep feeding me prep videos.
Understanding the current macro economic situation I have listened to a few like yours. I am aware of the chicken situation and the feed prices. I keep waiting for the predictions I'm hearing to come true. So far none have. One guy was saying no diesel by the second week of June. That has not come to happen.
I may be very wrong. When the markets crash and everyone is predicting doom. I'm a buyer.
I do understand the imbalances in the system today. Me I buy organic free range chicken eggs, if you are to believe the label. I choose too. They come in packages of 6. I pay I believe $3.49 for a half dozen. The price has remained fairly steady. I could have purchased a dozen eggs, different brand, for $2.00 yesterday.
I definitely hear what you are saying. But I have yet to see the extreme shortages all the preppers are talking about. Higher prices, absolutely.
I pray you are wrong. I pray all the shortage predictions I'm hearing are wrong. Personally I think they for the most part will be.
Why? The economy is on the verge of slowing down dramatically. While people have to eat and drive, they will change how they spend money. Demand destruction is about to take place in a very big way. Let's keep the government out of things and let market forces rebalance what's out of whack.
I do not follow any preppers. You were calm and explained you reasoning. I'm guessing you are a farmer or at least live and work in a farm community. I'm going to subscribe to your stream. I'm very interested in first hand accounts.
Thank You . 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 family and I live in Perth, Western Australia, and even though we are different in our government, weather and farming conditions, we are watching what is happening in the states and can see the writing on the wall for Australia. Our government has done nothing to future proof Australians from the roll on effect from the world events. It is frightening. During the pandemic we managed to purchase 3 6 month old chickens, they are now 15 months old and give us 3 beautiful eggs a day. The cost of a 20kg bag of feed is $25. Aud. We live on a 800sqm suburban block which does not leave much room for growing vegetables. It is really terrible what your government is doing to farmers. Take care and be safe.

Just sent this to my daughter. She and my son aren't listening. I've been prepping for everyone but running out of room. Just for me, I have enough for at least a year but not for them too. It breaks my heart.
My adult kids are the same way.
Great!
My husband and I have been warning our family members. They think we are crazy. I've just sent them your video, maybe if they hear it from a farmer they might get the message. I have a garden but no animals. Thankfully I have a really good friend that I can buy my eggs from and I try to help her buy her feed too.
We started stocking our shelves at home in 2020 when, after the 14 day quarantine I visited the store and found not only TP shelves empty, but there was no peanut butter, no beans, no rice. The people of my home town had been treating the grocery store like their food storage. I vowed I would never again wonder where I was going to get staples and bought a 25# sack of rice the first week. We've been buying in quantity pretty much every other paycheck since then and have enough in the house now to feed us probably 3 months without having to visit the store...more if we ration our food.
We also never let the gas tank go below halfway. We started doing that in 2020 as well, when an earthquake hit our town right after the quarantine was proclaimed. Keep shoes and a flashlight by your bed, and top up your tank at the halfway point.
I thought of doing the same think. How do you store your rice , beans, and other staples? Leave them in the bags they come in or put them in special packages? When you then use your supplies in an emergency, how do you reseal or store an open package? Please forgive me . I live in the city and stocked up on paper products..So far my store has been fully stocked, but I like to plan and prepare as much as possible, for the worst. Thanks for your time.
Same thing here. During Coronapocalypse in March 2020, the stores were stripped bare where I live, over the weekend, and I still couldn't find chicken for sale at the grocery store for a couple weeks. I took that as a hint from God that this was a practice run. So I bought a big storage freezer, started stocking it up, and made extra room to make a prepper pantry of dry goods.
@@1donnamaria I have containers in my kitchen pantry that hold five pounds and refill those from my stock. I don’t worry too much about resealing but it’s something to think about for food storage if you’re leaving it alone and not rotating your supplies. But I use the food from my home stock and buy another big bag of rice when I open the current one, always rotating it so I use first, whatever has been there the longest. So I always have an unopened sack of rice, sugar, beans, etc TP for that matter.
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.

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.
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.

I know people who are planning vacations and a bunch of other things instead of doing any food prep. They don't see anything wrong just because the food's on the shelf in the grocery store. Those are the people that we have to definitely distance ourselves from, because those are the people who are going to come looking for food when they have none
I've been thinking about this as well. The problem is, those people are our family members! I don't know if I can handle distancing from them and I can't provide for them. It is so frustrating to tell people these things and have them poohoo about it!
We are in that group of going on vacation. :/ it has been preplanned and paid for. We’ll lose it all if we cancel. BUT, and what only makes me feel better about proceeding, is we are preparing and are actively canning, storing up, etc. taking this serious. We can’t stop! I just shared this message with family. I continue to encourage them and warn them. :)
My SIL is planning on a trip to Europe. We warned her to get prepped. She called awhile back and stated that she stocked up on some stuff that she'll probably never need and now shes on this bucket list!
Shes an extreme lefty who recently retired from her government job. Drives one of those dual fuel cars.
It took everything in our arsenal of reasoning skills to get her to stock up just a little bit. Shed prefer to argue every little point and she'll try to turn it into a shouting match.
Shes been warned.
My Stepson has been warned as well.
We are on a fixed income. Its not going as far as we thought it would. Hubby just finally got his VA benefits after decades of being on Soc. Sec.
We get out of a decrepit mobile home. Moved north an entire growing zone with totally different soil.
To be honest, we dont have the energy to worry about anybody else. Moving without help (Stepson spent that time in jail DUI) just wore us plumb out and we put in a huge garden and building cages for critters.
I dont even feel sorry for these people that literally despise us for speaking the truth.
Im disabled, hubby is disabled. Nobody is going to take care of us except the Good Lord. But if you pray for potatoes you'd better get a hoe!
Before the Bubble burst, I lived up north with my previous husband who died of cancer. A "freind" down south kept in touch after we moved. I kept telling her to get prepared.
When they started cutting her hours, I told her, " kick that worthless brother of yours to the curb and get somebody in there that will help you pay the rent! And get prepared!"
She said, "Oh, if I end up homeless, I'll come up there. Youve got plenty of food."
Oh, I was almost speechless at first! But finally, I told her, "SO let me get this straight. You've been eating out every day, going on vacations and instead of listening to my warnings, you think you are going to come up here after Ive scrimped and saved and worked my rearend off canning and gardening and you think you are going to mooch off me after my husband died???
I DONT THINK SO!!!
Well, she ended up homeless. We no longer talk to each other because I found on her facebook page that she was ridiculing me after getting off the phone with her. I had adamently refused to get a facebook account until I lost track of her and moved and she forgot that I finally got on there to find her. So not 15 minutes after a phone call, facebook notified me she had a new post, which was to make fun of just about everything I said.
I let her know I saw it and havent talked to her since.
Wasting you time on these people will only bring you heartache and wear you out emotionally
Prepped but also living life. I have. garden going and will have people take care of it while I’m away. I have been canning, and stocking.
People also keep having kids even some preppers smh
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!
I've run a small nursery for a number of years and it never ceases to amaze me how completely disconnected from the Earth people are. And the biggest hurdle coming for our species as I see it is that most people simply are not trainable. I'm a little different from other seed sellers in that I give a detailed write up and growing directions on the seeds and plants I sell. I'm not just trying to sell something but to help people become self sufficient. After years of doing this I'd say way less than ten percent of the people are ever successful in growing something. Most people won't read even the first line of the write up I've given them.
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.
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.
During the great depression my grandfather lived in Chicago he planted the entire back yard with food. Raised rabbits and pigeons and organized neighbors to do the same, Urine was a great source of nitrogen, and ashes from wood burning stove were used for potassium and phosphorus. There were still plenty of horse in Chicago so composted manure was no problem to get. Horses were also available to bring in milk, form the country. It will be more difficult to get through this mess were are in if it gets that bad. Lake Michigan also had plenty of smelt back then too. Neighbors grew beans and traded for vegetables. City parks were planted with food crops also.
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. 💖👍
Sustainance farming was how my grandparents made it through the depression. The big difference between then and now is that they had skills from their parents to actually make cottage cheese, dress out and can/smoke/ dry venison (they kept one cow for milk, a low-line jersey guernsey mix), chickens for eggs and meat, and the chickens grazed the garden. Point is that now - we modern 21st century "sophisticates" have NO idea how to forage, hunt, slaughter, dress out, process, and preserve - including myself.
The Amish would be laughing at us if they thought about modern society at all. They did one thing right when reading the Bible; they don't align themselves with The World, but rather they separate themselves from it. The world is perishing.
Also a lot of people live in apartments and don't have the option to keep animals or gardens. Indoor and porch plants at the most.
@@bigkahuna1919 container gardening, where there's a will there's a way. I live in my car, so I can't really grow anything, but I don't keep my homemade Kombucha going! It's also makes great dressing when it turns to vinegar 😘
I raised and my daughter helped me process 28 chickens last year for
first time. Now I know if I need to we can do it.
Absolutely agree!
@@donnalovintexas8760 My husband, I and our 2 kids did 40 meat birds last year also. You wouldn't believe the people who were just astounded that we were raising and processing our own chicken. Bet they understand now.
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.
I live in the middle of the heartland in Indiana. We're known for our corn. I noticed a month ago that the fields were full of flowers and weeds, they weren't being planted with corn. I told everyone I could that something was going on. This validation is scary as hell. I started a garden for the first time this year and have done very well so far. I've warned everyone again and shared this video.
Thanks for this info. Take heart in knowing Indiana was Orville Redenbacher's home state. An agronomist, Mr. Redenbacher created the large-kernel popcorn which
became very popular. He achieved his lifelong dream: to create the best popcorn.
I use to live in Indiana, you could tell the time of year based on the corn height..
@@gianttigerfilms I pointed out bare fields to my 11 year old son today. I travel across 4 counties weekly. Seeing the bare fields is haunting. There is some corn planted, but not much and it's behind in schedule because of such a rainy spring. I'd say less than half the fields are planted this year here A lot still have the brown stalks from last season.
Your message was delivered so sincerely, your words are kind and yes, has made a difference for me. Thank you 💜
You are so welcome
Farmers were disrespected long before covid. Now this. Bailout big corporations but those that provide sustenance for life? Can't even imagine the stress our farmers must face just trying to keep livestock fed not to mention feed their own family and everyone else. Heads up folks. We need each other dearly. Thank you for your post here. Love and blessings all.
I'm all for farmers
@@josephercastor8026 Absolutely, Most People Don't Comprehend. The Importance of Farmers. Where Our Food's Come From. Some Think They're Getting Rich. Not True, At All. The Reality Is They're Barely, Scraping By Themselves.
@@caryrodriguez5765 yeah I know. I love farmers, they're the most important people in the world!
Good for you for warning your children, unlike so many "parents" out there. They outright refuse to examine observable reality.
Wow one of the most honest comments I have ever heard ! If that doesn't change the way someone thinks then they are a lost cause! Wake up America, thank you for posting that letter , I'm glad I accidental found your channel 😊
Thank you i just found your channel. God Bless you and your family and viewers. And all the farmers of the nation .
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
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 work with a guy whose family raises a couple barns of chickens(60,000 or so). They had a couple shipments of chicks that had an extremely high mortality rate. The first shipment of 2500 had 1700 deaths, and the second shipment of 2000 had 1200 die in shipping.
Funny cause my friends laugh at me for being a "prepper"... well last year when Dallas for 1" of snow and everything shut down for a week, one told me he "almost died, no food, no water, no electricity, and unable to drive"... told him I lived like a king... this makes me continue my push to prepare for a really ugly storm
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!
@@danielleterry180 Danielle, THANK YOU for educating us! God bless you!
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.
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.
@@kalidass1 Why is it happening? And what do we do!?
@@lainey7985 Prepare. Have months of food supplies available. It's only gonna get worse.
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.
Unfortunately my husband and I have had this conversation many times lately. I love to be able to just give my eggs to whoever needs them. The problem is no one has thought about what it costs me to raise the chickens for those eggs. Those who ask me what I charge to purchase eggs are appalled that I'm not cheaper than the grocery store. The ones I gift eggs too are close friends and family and they just don't understand the costs involved either. One family member even asked if I deliver...free eggs plus using my own gas. She was offended when I said no. We raise our own meat chickens. A family member said she would buy meat chicks and buy their food if I would keep them at my house. I said sure but you have to care for them. Her response?! Why when you have to care for yours anyway?? I just had no answer to that. Everything comes with a price. Inflation is going crazy and people are too blind to see how they can help offset that. People need to wake up and understand that without farmers their lives come to a halt.
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.
Been preparing for this shortage for two years now. We can, dehydrate and our best investment was a freeze dryer.
Also been preparing for those who may "try" to take it from us.
Having a well stocked pantry means nothing if you can't protect it from theft.
God ,guns ,and glory
Jokes on you nothing can stop the zombies.
Take you for speaking the truth we are a small rancher and have all ready seen this coming.
Truer words have never been spoken. People have no idea where their food actually comes from or how it gets onto their tables. I closed my farm stand and am growing for my own family and that is all. I will not sell at a loss. Nor will I waste one single veggie. The small farmers are feeling the pinch. There are...or were 4 farm stands within a 12 mile radius here. There are now none. We've all shut down.
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.
Lolol had me till the last part.
@@Jen-zk9se I’ll pray for you…
@@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 biblical for sure. I am spiritual but not religious and believe that this is Good versus Evil in real time. We are in for a spiritual battle.
Yes, many people who are not farmers can see and have seen this coming. 'Been warning of this for years. And I was raised on a farm and an area of many farmers. But in recent years, the farming activity in this same area is far less if not gone.
My Dad grew up on a farm during the Depression. He said they always had food. My mom grew up in the city and said she was happy to get a chicken wing.
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.
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.
Feels scary
We’re going to be okay.
Just happened to come across your Video and the title caught my Attention. Thank you very much for going through the Trouble to Read that comment. It really should be
spread wide and far and the writer done an excellent Job with clarifications.
Greetings from Germany!
I have been telling people we are going to have a bad food shortage within the next 5 years.That was 2 years ago!An old farmer was telling me about it and I didn’t take him seriously at first. I knew he was serious when he continued to speak about it,and how it will affect his kids grandchildren
Say a thing for long enough and someday you will be right
@@christyl7698 or just pretend it’s not happening cause it doesn’t affect you right now
Beautifully said by this person. Food production is like a train. Each farmer is a train car. The engine is the truckers. When the engine doesn’t get fuel it slows and then stops. It takes time for the train to come to a stop as each car slows down. Hard to see happening but it is. The food train is coming to a halt. Be ready people and God save us.
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
THANK YOU!!!! Unfortunately, I live under conditions that make food storage of any significant size impossible. This video can still help even me. I will heed your warning and change what I can store!
That's the spirit!!!
I live in a very small home, too. You've got more space than you might realize!
Use the space under the bed, and any other furniture tall enough. Look into sturdy shelves above doors, windows, beds, etc. Put shelves in a corner, and in windows.
Use hooks or hanging baskets on your doors to store towels or something else light to make more room in other places. Under stairs, over stairs, and stuff canned in metal or glass can be stored in a crawl space or anywhere out direct sunlight.
Just don't forget that rodents can and will chew through anything that isn't glass or metal. And given enough time, they'll get through metals, too. Even non food items aren't safe from those little buggers.
😊
This woman has a fantastic personality.
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!!
Why I had to fill em up the dayung gas tank on the dingen carmobile, hotdog!
The Great Depression 2.0 is coming up and it's going to have an even larger global impact than the last one.
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.
I bought our first chicks this March before Easter. Since then I've added 4 more and decided to buy a small dairy goat or possibly 2.
I've always been a gardener and come from a family of farmers, but these past 2 years I've begun gardening with a purpose more than ever. I've begun stocking up my pantry as much as I can when I have any extra money.
I've seen the feed shortage coming and I've been buying as much storable chicken feed as I can store. Luckily I only have a small amount and I'm lucky enough to have land they can wander and eat from.
I'm very very worried about next year
Be sure to add fencing to your list of preparation. Predators of all sorts love chickens and they’re eggs. I pasture raise and have a rooster who herds my flock away when he senses danger. Skunks, raccoons, hawks, eagles, bobcats and cougars with an occasional bear are who I share my land with, but the first three also live in the city and will wipe out a small flock overnight. I use hog wire buried a foot down and bent out a foot long to keep the rascals from digging they’re way into my pasture and wood enclosed structure coups with wood floors for nighttime protection.
This is the smartest explanation of shortages I have seen yet. Thank you for sharing.
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..”
@@dlbet4110 right on sister! Keep on prepping.
