I forgot about that winds storm damaging so many crops.
We have horses, not cows, so feed is a bit different although we go through some hay in the winter. Coastal hay (coastal Bermuda) is about $6.50 in the field. We get it from a friend of ours. The local feed stores are about $13 a bale. Round bails of horse quality are around $90 but we usually don’t get those due to waste. I bought some more acreage last year and our neighbor who has property asked to borrow our 4 legged mowers as he was tired of mowing, so we have an abundance of good grass right now.
Wife buys chicken feed so I have no idea of the prices except fo the fact she bitch about it the other day so it must be up.
I was reading in the news this morning about food inflation on a global basis and it’s rising quickly, especially in Asia.
It’s going to be interesting.. hence we are trying to grow more of our own food (vegetables) and make a deal with our neighborhood rancher regarding beef.

I remember way back when, in the army, in the field, the only TP we had was in the C-rat packs,
there was just not enough of it after eating some of the C's not MRE's.
It was a small packet about the size of four "AA" batteries side by side.
That forced us to use other materials for a wipe, a lot less desirable in some cases.
Ever since that time I have been paranoid about the lack of ass wipe,
for 57 years now I have had a good supply on hand.
I guess you could say that was my first prepping store, without knowing it.
A STORM IS COMING! LET'S GO BRANDON!
