Brace yourself for a new wave of shortages

[Twenty 20]

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!

I am paying $5 more a bale than that. I could get that price but I would have to drive 50 miles one way.

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.

I’ve always said, in a SHTF situation I will not be without asswipe.... no ****ing way. My family use to laugh at that, until they asked if I had any extra rolls when the stores ran out.

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.
