The information that I am about to share with you is extremely alarming, but I have always endeavored to never sugarcoat things for my readers.
Right now, there are shortages of certain items in grocery stores across the United States, and food supplies have gotten very tight all over the globe.
I have repeatedly warned that this is just the beginning, but I didn’t realize how dire things have already gotten until I received an email from a farming insider that I have corresponded with over the years.
I asked him if I could publicly share some of the information that he was sharing with me, and he said that would be okay as long as I kept his name out of it.
According to this farming insider, dramatically increased costs for fertilizer will make it impossible for many farmers to profitably plant corn this year. The following is an excerpt from an email that he recently sent me…
“Things for 2022 are interesting (and scary). Input costs for things like fertilizer, liquid nitrogen and seeds are like triple and quadruple the old prices. It will not be profitable to plant this year. Let me repeat, the economics will NOT work.
“Our plan, is to drop about 700 acres of corn off and convert to soybeans (they use less fertilizer, and we also have chicken manure from that operation).
“Guess what? We are not the only ones with those plans. Already there is a shortage of soybean seeds, so we will see how that will work out. The way I see it, there will be a major grain shortage later in the year, especially with corn.
“I mean, we are small with that. What about these people in the midwest who have like 10,000 acres of corn? This will not be good.”
Once I received that message, I wrote him back with some questions that I had.
In response, he expanded on his comments in a subsequent email…
“As for the farming, I see it getting bad. Things like fertilizer and liquid nitrogen have tripled and quadrupled in price. Yes commodity prices are up, but that certainly wont cover the new increased input costs. We are in NC, so while certainly not like the midwest, we still grow grain.
“The midwest of course will have these same higher input costs as well. Corn for example, typically takes about 600 pounds of fertilizer per acre, plus 50 gallons of liquid nitrogen. Times that by many acres and thats a lot of money. Soybeans take much less.
“The plan for us, and most others around here, is to drastically cut corn acres and switch to soybeans. Problem is, there is apparently a soybean seed shortage because others have this plan as well. We were lucky enough to pre buy enough to do it. However, most people, especially younger farmers, or farmers where that is all they do, probably don’t have the money to front like that.
“The way I see it, a corn shortage will come. I guess there could possibly be a glut of soybeans, but remember that could depend on the seed being available. I guess there are other alternatives, maybe milo, oats, or barley.
“Of course the corn market is much larger. Think animal feed and ethanol. I mean for animals, soybeans are used too, but its a mix. What happens to the animal producers who depend on reasonably priced corn?
“I just don’t see how it can end well. I mean, even if we end up with plenty of soybeans, even a glut, then you have a busted market for that. I don’t know.
“There just isn’t much history to base any of this on. I just see it hurting both grain farmers, and animal farmers, and also translating to more shortages and price increases for consumers who buy the end products.”
I was stunned when I first read that.
Corn is one of the foundational pillars of our food supply.
If you go to the grocery store and start reading through the ingredients of various products, you will quickly discover that corn is in just about everything in one form or another.
So what is our country going to look like if a severe corn shortage actually happens?
I don’t even want to think about that.
Of course fertilizer prices are not just going through the roof here in the United States.
In South America, high fertilizer prices are going to dramatically affect coffee production…
“Christina Ribeiro do Valle, who comes from a long line of coffee growers in Brazil, is this year paying three times what she paid last year for the fertilizer she needs.
“Coupled with a recent drought that hit her crop hard, it means Ms. do Valle, 75, will produce a fraction of her Ribeiro do Valle brand of coffee, some of which is exported.”
“There is also a shortage of fertilizer. “This year, you pay, then put your name on a waiting list, and the supplier delivers it when he has it,” she said.”
If you love to drink coffee in the morning, you will soon be paying much more for that privilege.
Over in Africa, fertilizer prices could result in “30 million metric tons less food produced“…
“Fertilizer demand in sub-Saharan Africa could fall 30% in 2022, according to the International Fertilizer Development Center, a global nonprofit organization.
That would translate to 30 million metric tons less food produced, which the center says is equivalent to the food needs of 100 million people.”
“Lower fertilizer use will inevitably weigh on food production and quality, affecting food availability, rural incomes and the livelihoods of the poor,” said Josef Schmidhuber, deputy director of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization’s trade and markets division.
Where in the world are we going to get enough food to replace “the food needs of 100 million people”?
This is beyond serious.
Many Americans had assumed that even if the rest of the world was suffering that we would be immune.
But now there are widespread shortages all over the nation, and the Wall Street Journal just published a major article entitled “U.S. Food Supply Is Under Pressure, From Plants To Store Shelves”.
This is really happening.
In Washington D.C., residents are being instructed to “just buy what you need and leave some for others”…
“If you’re hitting the grocery store to prepare for winter weather, please just buy what you need and leave some for others! You may have noticed empty shelves in some stores due to national supply chain issues, but there is no need to buy more than you normally would.”
What would have been unimaginable just a few years ago is now making headlines on a daily basis.
Of course it isn’t just our food supply that is under threat. As Victor Davis Hansen has aptly noted, our country is now in the process of undergoing a “systems collapse”…
“In modern times, as in ancient Rome, several nations have suffered a “systems collapse.” The term describes the sudden inability of once-prosperous populations to continue with what had ensured the good life as they knew it.”
“Abruptly, the population cannot buy, or even find, once plentiful necessities. They feel their streets are unsafe. Laws go unenforced or are enforced inequitably. Every day things stop working. The government turns from reliable to capricious if not hostile.”
A lot of people are going to be caught off guard by the pace of change.
Things are shifting so rapidly that it really is hard to keep up with it all unless you are paying very close attention.
Now that you have been exposed to the information in this article, please don’t go back to sleep.
This is not a drill. We really are heading into a nightmare scenario, and I strongly urge you to act accordingly. [The Most Important News]

this is 2000 all over again when the computers would shut the world down. If companies are gouging they should be fined huge amounts.
This is intentional. Farmers will be forced to sell their lands which will be bought by Bill Gates and China. It is time to start community farming.
In 2018, I woke up…. I’ve been preparing since then for something. The crazy thing is, I had no idea why my life changing so much. I do not own a huge land, but I do own a home and can grow a decent size garden for my family. Farmers have sold us ALL out to these chemical companies for profit. Humanity is in trouble. A war (WE THE PEOPLE)are going to win, but the fight will be brutal enough to put us all in the dark ages for a long time…..please wake up!
Stop consuming so much ( unhealthy foods, medicines, unfiltered water, stop using products that have too many ingredients, women stop wearing makeup,etc) the goal is to drastically cut down your consuming and start looking at alternatives, plant based or natural. The past two years I have been purchasing lots of seeds, saving organic and heirloom seeds as well. I have 500 thousands seeds and counting at this point. The plan is to help my community and close communities to self grow at home, I have a “green thumb”always have, so helping others around me plant and learn how to grow simple fruits and vegetables at home I believe is my purpose in life and I am still young. I also want to encourage people to stop eating animal and animal products… I believe in the near future, people will be eating something else and it won’t be natural.
“And Jesus began to say to them, “See that no one leads you astray. Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and they will lead many astray. And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. This must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains. “But be on your guard. For they will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten in synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them. And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. Even on the male and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit. “And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes. And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as the Lord has said, and among the survivors shall be those whom the Lord calls.”

There is a reason for all this… My website explains it all and shows the proof… It’s the end of the world as we know it… The rapture has past on June 27, 2020… as a thief in the night… Hidden from world view by the corona virus… It’s just as the days of Noah… So now is the time to gather the nations for the war of Armageddon… Are you prepared for the USA to be utterly destroyed…. It’s time… Sept. 16, 2023… Believe it or not…
Soy is an unhealthy food.
Soy unhealthy? Nonsense- it is a staple in Japan. They eat it all the time. There is nothing better than eating warm tofu for lunch which was made but a few hours before in the early morning. Are Japanese morbidly obese like you Americans? Are they unhealthy? No. Maybe high food costs will force Americans to drop their weight! More than 60% of the US population is considered overweight. That is shameful.
Wouldn’t an excellent alternative be hemp? Hemp does not require a lot of chemicals such as pesticides and I wonder if it needs much or any fertilizer. Hemp seeds are extremely nutritious with a large amount of quality protein and lots of omega fatty acids. In addition it can be used to produce fiber, clothing, fuel, etc.
Since we are facing a catastrophe, any rules or laws about industrial hemp are more than misguided, they are genocidal and insane.
Hemp is a good alternative, indeed.
Welcome to hell. The planned reset is going to kill many people but all for the greater good. We are passive enough to allow ourselves to be herded like cattle to our doom.
That is called chemical farming. A lot of farmers started farming with chemicals years ago because it seemed like a good thing to them. They could get a better yield, the crop was more uniform, and at the time it was cheaper. The big chemical companies kept dragging these folks in deeper and deeper until their dependency on chemicals was at the max, then the higher prices came in. High enough to just barely keep them above water and so high such that they could not let their fields heal themselves. I have several farms and do not use chemicals sold by the big guys. I am able to raise corn, wheat, oats, etc. without the need for them, but it is more work. Even a few hundred acres can support a whole town, if done right.
The farmers who use chemicals have dug themselves into a hole. Because of the chemicals the land that they plant on is more or less dead and the only way to grow is with chemicals. They can revive the land again, but it will take years for it to heal. Most farmers are now so far in debt or they have so little cash on hand that they can’t afford to take a smaller yield for several years, or in some cases no yield at all, to allow things to heal and get back to the right way of farming. And others are just too lazy to do the work required.
Also need to mention that a lot of their produce is nutrient lacking. Yes, they can grow faster and bigger but it doesn’t give the plants enough time, or energy, to fix the nutrients. I have seen many people who have had digestive problems that have switched to eating the neighborhood grown foods and are now much better. There is a reason that a fruit or vegetable grown correctly tastes so much better than the mass produced.
We have told you many things will happen this year is Tiger year of Chinese new year 20222 and all the things going on. Third Planet Shaking is in full progress 90 percent of humanity will die of COVID-2022 and starvation’s with mass riots and mass martial law for all world. Show me your papers it does not matter if we have elections or not , we all are doomed together only 10 percent who are prepared and follow the truth news seekers they can make it. Dark winter is coming for 7 years no gas or food, or banks how can you survive? Dare not to prepare? Canadian truckers
are assembled in Ottawa and how long can hold , or soon will be forced to exit back go home by Martial Law and tanks in streets of Ottawa?
Hmmm, well if the farmers are broken down, then Gates and Blackrock can buy the farms on the cheap. Then they can cultivate poisonous crops, and kill more people faster.
The feed for animals is another issue. We are seeing shortages at the feedstore, and prices will be higher for feed too. So that sucks big time. Probably won’t buy any more baby ducks and baby geese for Spring. Leave it to the globo-satanist dirtbags to make everyone miserable.
ethanol – the waste of a good feed product.
Stop Ethanol and grow corn for Animals/People.
Drill Baby Drill fixes fuel prices and getting rid of Biden and Democrats will save America.
If you are reading this – tell your State and Federal Reps to stop increased spending and to work FOR America.
Hey Mike, is corn GMO now? I don’t eat corn, but my animals do. I switched back to using scratch from cracked corn two weeks ago. I like the cracked corn feed better. At one point I was buying 250lbs a week, but I have less animals now, so it’s 50lbs a week. I wanted to get more geese and duck this Spring, but will probably pass on it.
