I informed my wife this morning that I am going double my reserve diesel supply, so I can at least run my tractor. I figure it’s a years worth for the tractor.
Food shortages are here and getting worse.

Yep, I responded with a "wow" but I totally agree. I really wished that I would never have to live thru all this. I'm getting to be an old woman now days. My kids and grands are also going to be facing all this crap.

I would gladly go through this crap now IF we could guarantee that our grandkids never have to live through a commie/Marxist government in their lifetime.
No grandkids but would do it for my kids. Son finally figured things out with communist governor in his state wanting to close prisons down. He is a CO.

So he is wiping out our oil reserves, our gold when at a low price so we should be buying instead and now this . Everything is backward.
That's the one thing that has me determined to outlive my prognosis. I can't die and leave my husband and kids to deal with all of this without me. When my time comes, I know where I'm going but I have work to do here.
And once again the MIDDLE OF NOVEMBER??? Who is organising the whole crap? Mid-terms, Mid-Nov....
Mid-wartime, Mid-bidump term, Mid-piglosi attack, Mid-Brazil civil war, Mid-N&S Korea problems, Mid-Atlantic NATO pipeline bombs, Mid-???????

And yesterday Biden said in a televised event that he’s stopping ALL coal exploration and ALL oil drilling offshore. Get ready to freeze our ass*s off in the dark, folks. I’m lucky I have wood stoves and enough wood for 2 winters. I feel for people who can’t burn. Rough times ahead.

I GOT ALL THAT, 'CEPT THE BLUEBERRIES AND STRAWBERRIES AND ORANGES
We just got rumor control info that everything here will be more expensive also in '23.
A good number of those I can't eat due to the cancer diet I'm on, but my family and I calculated the number of blueberry bushes we'd need to provide us with the amount we currently eat in a year and I think we came up with over 100 bushes.
It's hard for me to can fruit, though, because I need low sugar recipes and so many (even Pamona's Pectin ones) add some sort of sweetners. Argh!
Are you growing other fruits too? Whew! That is a lot of blueberry bushes!
CurrentIy I only have one orange tree. But am going to go pick up 2 more tomorrow. We all need citrus. I’ve got the lemon trees, but do need to get some oranges growing. Will most likely be adding another greenhouse specifically for citrus trees come March.
We are. We have blackberries, currants, gooseberries, cherries, apples, pears, plums, peaches, persimmons, and paw paws. But I don't think most of them will be ready to produce this year. At least, our peaches and cherries won't be.
To clarify, though, we didn't plant that many blueberries. We have I think 20 total. But I was just shocked at how many we would need.
Today I read a news report of an elderly lady resorting to eating cat food because food prices (and everything else) are so high. Politicians try to deny there's a cost of living crisis and poverty rates are rising and say we just need to tighten our belts.
My citrus trees are smothered in blooms, the currant bushes have green fruit on them, even the apple trees have a few blooms. The veggies are coming on nicely. Expanded the veggie patch to squeeze in sweet potatoes.
We need to get back to everyone growing some amount of food and trading surpluses... but with the way the world is people are working too many hours (or too ignorant/lazy) to grow anything.

Nice to see you Kiwi! So wonderful to hear your garden and fruit trees are doing well!! Keep going and you and yours will be fine.

So, one more try.
Feeding America has a food shortage, we order from them for the food pantry. We haven't been able to get many canned veggies or fruits for awhile, and others like cooking oil are too expensive for a small UMC food pantry

Sugar and sugar products may become a problem.
