Brace yourself for a new wave of shortages

[SOCOM42]

Last years shortages in TP had no effect on me, we have a 5 year supply, based on our normal consumption.

We did buy a few cases to replace those we anticipated we would be using,

looking at a longer term shortage than actually happened.

No never mind, it all just went into storage, with the paper towels.

Some assholes actually tried to bring stuff back to the stores, including generators.

Mother nature is resupplying as we speak. Fresh new tender leaves. Just be sure you know what poison ivy, oak and sumac look like ore you will have a more serious problem than lack of TP!

It happened here too. Costco had a big sign stating no returns.

Expect beef price to go up next fall as well. We are in the middle of bad drought in our area and a lot of the local ranchers are selling their herds right now because they cannot afford to feed and water them. They may come down a bit in the near term though, so stock up if you have room.

I'm not a big beef eater, but I do eat chicken and fish like nobody's business. The prices of chicken and fish are going to spike when beef-eaters have to switch to them.

The SouthWest drought is going to hit the whole country.

I'm considering raising a beef in the very near future. Once I get a few of the irons out of the fire.

Do a search. We have been having big weather anomalies for the past few years. 2019 the midwest had floods while CA had a drought and wildfires.

Last year a Derecho wiped out a huge portion of soy and corn crops. Then came the scamdemic. A large part of our veggies come from CA and Newsom shut them down. Many crops were dumped since there was nowhere to send them. Livestock was put down because they couldn't feed them. The drought is only adding to the accumulated misery. Add to that more droughts and wildfires.

Yup, the food supply is getting more interesting as time goes on.

Hmph. Check feed prices. F ucking corn at $8.45 for a 50# bag. Last year in June I was paying $5. Chicken feed is at $11/50# and the calf starter is $10.50/50#

I'm now looking at 4x5 round bales possibly hitting $50-70 again.

F ucking democrats and their fuel prices. F ucking scamdemic bullshit. Mother Nature is a bitch in her own right and needs no help from commie c ocksukers in DC.

Where are you getting corn for $8.45?!? I paid just over $10 for 50# bags last week at TSC. Sweet feed is up to over $11 per bag at TSC. I do not even check the local feed store for those anymore. I am sure they are over $13.

Friggin' Bermuda is up to over $15 for a 100# bale so we switched over to Alfalfa for the steer. Even that is close to $13! If he bloats and explodes I'll let ya'll know so you can bring the ketchup and steak sauce.

Freakin crazy!

We have a feed mill in town that is family owned. You are exactly correct on TSC prices. I was in there Saturday, as the fat broad in the BMW with her leopard print steering wheel cover whirled in to get dog food because, you know, " life out here."

Their prices are bad enough without adding this crap on to it. Square 60-70# bales are 4.50 -5.00 out of the field right now. This winter and that crap in March caused us to go through about 75 bales for the goats. I was going through 1100 pounds of hay per week and a 250# protein tub per month, plus range cubes at about 100# per week. I told the wife I didn't plan on losing spring calves for lack of nutrition. Four knocked up cows and a 1500# walking inseminator put away a lot of feed. But this spring we cleared off another two acres, and I've got grass coming in good, so maybe....if I get lucky..

Yes on the cows! We have had to buy hay pretty much nonstop since September due to our lack of rain last summer. Our first one, we basically did not have to buy hay at all. No rain means no grass. No grass means I may as well open a vein and bleed money!
