Brace yourself for a new wave of shortages

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.

Oh..the price of beef is definitely going up.

"The Biden administration is focusing on “re-regulation,” a large shift away from the Trump administration’s deregulation push, Andrew Harig, a policy expert at the Food Industry Association, told attendees at the virtual 2021 Annual Meat Conference on Wednesday. ... And the prices of beef and other meats will continue to climb, according to a recent report released by U.S. Department of Agriculture..."

My son in law is raising beef on 5 acres. This one will be ready for slaughter this fall.

I buy %95 of my beef from local farmers, so hopefully the beef prices in the rest of the country won't be as damaging. Who knows, at this point I wouldn't be surprised if we had super-inflation by the end of the year or end of next year either.

Around here, ranchers have an arrangement to lease grazing land from a park district and the watershed district. I talking an area of 100k acres.

Normally a mutually beneficial arrangement for underbrush control.

Because of drought, ranchers have been told they can have 50% of the normal numbers on the land. Beef will be going up and in short supply.

Last year's shortages were due in most areas on a sudden snap in the distribution model. Folks used to providing bulk deliveries to institutions (read that as schools) were not able to react quickly enough to the need to distribute to individual families instead That and an over reaction in some processing plants closings forcing ranchers and farmers to destroy livestock or produce they had no way of getting to market.

I'll bet there's almost a 4 month supply of TP in each of your local school districts.

Oh yeah the wife just said to add TP to my next shopping list
