30% of the EU oil and gas is supposedly coming from russia. Wheat and corn are also getting imported to the EU from russia. We are gonna see bad prices and lack of certain things in the western side of the EU soon. Rumania, Hungary and Poland produce much of the imported stuffs to the west. If they also have an export ban....?????

I read 40%.
ICE AGE FARMER
“Another fire at a fertilizer plant, Yakima, WA, USA destroys 1.75 million pounds of mixed components for fertilizers - how many fertilizer facitilies have burned down just this year now? (As fertilizer shipments from Russia stop?)
“Fire rages at fertilizer facility, forces evacuations in Sunnyside
Although a chemical fire in Sunnyside quickly consumed an industrial building and emitted sulfur-laden smoke throughout the afternoon and evening, Monday’s blaze was caught early enough to avoid injuries and could have been much worse, officials said.
A smoldering pile of sulfur quickly became a raging chemical fire just after 1 p.m. Monday at Nutrien Ag Solutions, 1101 Midvale Road, Sunnyside Fire Chief Ken Anderson said.
The fire destroyed one storage building on the southeast corner of the fertilizer storage facility in the Port of Sunnyside and damaged others, but adjacent Nutrien buildings and storage tanks containing hazardous chemicals were spared, Anderson said Monday evening.
The storage building contained 1.75 million pounds of mixed components for fertilizers, but there were more dangerous chemicals in adjacent buildings and tanks, and firefighters prevented the blaze from spreading to them, Anderson added.
“It was caught early on — it could have been much worse,” he added.”

That 200 ton pile of smoldering sulfur probably released more sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere than all the coal powered power plants in the country do in a year.

Russia and Ukraine are in BAD shape for seeds to grow the crops so many countries depend on! They used to keep their own seed banks, but Yeltsin put an end to that. So now they buy HYBRID seeds from the Dutch or us. Even for growing potatoes the Russians eat. This is another Holodomor x 10 that we are looking at worldwide.

Probably not much planting going on this spring in the breadbasket of Europe.
Hungary and Turkey have taken steps to limit their wheat exports, choosing instead to keep what they grow in their country this year. Ukraine is obviously a mess and won't be producing.
Prices of fuel, fertilizer, pesticides due to oil/fuel prices and equipment, even used, bought at resale are insane at the moment.
Lumber is also skyrocketing back to the highs last year making building expensive again.
Independent truckers are feeling the pinch as they made contracts to haul based on old assumed reasonable prices of fuel and now are having to eat the increases in costs.
Scarcity + increase costs for production....= not good.

Glad my presi has decided to keep the food produced here for us. What is gonna happen on the Gates and other land hoarded by the elites? will it be planted, poisoned, agent orange??? My garden is planted and I have heirloom seeds, fertiliser for 3 years and water. Hope you are all getting it together fast...Getting more gas and diesel today.
Will get info tomorrow as to if we will take in refugees or not. If not, we have decided to drive to Rumania to a man we know personally who took over an old russian military base and turned it into a childrens home and refuge for abused women.
He takes care of over 3000 kids there up to 17 years old, schools them, feeds and clothes them and gets them jobs if possible and they return a bit of money to help him and say thank you with. His name is Csaba and has a Godly calling.

I sure hope NOBODY sends RUSSIA a darn thing to eat, withold grain and any other types of food, LET THEM EAT SNOW!!!!
Food & agricultural exports from Russia by type 2018 | Statista
Food and agricultural export value from Russia 2014-2018, by type
Published by A. Melkadze, Feb 15, 2022
Cereals and legumes were the most exported agricultural commodity from Russia, which, despite the reduction in exports during 2015 and 2016, recovered amounting to over 10 billion U.S. dollars by 2018. Significant increments by 26 and 23 percent were marked for export trade of meat and sub-products and fish and crustaceans over the last period, respectively.

Guess it would be better to be carefull with wishes or a big part of the world dosn't have enough food. We're going to eat grass before in Europe and sand in the Arabian countries as in Africa. Proably it isn't look like a problem in South Carolina, but it would affect the whole western world. And don't forget, until now oil is still aviable. It would look a lot different if the OPEC decides to shorten oil deliveries.
The Russian people are not to blame for what is happening. The Globalists are! Still haven’t decided if Putin is in with the WEF/Globalists or is being used by them. Would never wish any county’s People to starve. Look at us. We have a government right now that is MURDERING MILLIONS with a so called vaccine! Are we responsible for that? Heck no! We can’t do anything other than spread the word about what is REALLY in that jab. Should our businesses be taken off the internet because of biden and evil minions? Should our bank accounts be frozen and stolen because of what Pfizer/Moderna/Our government has done?
I pray others will realize We the People are NOT the murderers that our current goverment is! We didn’t even elect the POS! Like Ukraine, he was installed via a COUP.

Russia is capable of feeding itself. My worries are for other countries.
Not without seeds they aren’t. Do you follow Ice Age Farmer on Telegram? He has a lot of connections and interactions with farmers. According to him, Russia and Ukraine both get ALL of their seeds from the Dutch or the US every year. They have not received those according to a couple farmers. The seeds they buy are Hybrid! But hopefully the information is not correct and they can plant this spring.
I worry for all the countries who must count on others to grow them what they need to survive.
Yes, hopefully they can. The Russian people are largely, not to fault here.
And interesting about the seed.
Unfortunately, most of our grown products here in the US come from hybrids as well. The days of farmers creating their own seed from generations of growing has gone for the most part.

Farmers used to do what Monsanto and others do in the lab through generations of selective growth and seed retention.
Unfortunately, those genetically altered seed planted in neighboring plats contaminated much of the family varieties and in some cases, Monsanto actually tried to claim that they owned a neighboring farmer's crops/seed!

So right you are, unfortunately. I read that Yeltsin was responsible for ending their Seed Bank program. Thankfully, there are more and more small farming companies putting out Heirloom seeds. That is the only ones I grow.
Yes. Heirloom is the way to go. However, I do try to avoid growing the same crops as any neighbors are growing lest, my seed get contaminated by their GM's. One of the reasons I bought my BOL was that the only things being produced around it was timber, cattle and clover. No other crops for miles.

No hummus of any kind to found.
Very wise advice for all of us looking to expand our gardens this year…and going forward. There is no way to avoid the food shortages that are coming. It is too late. We are in for at minimum 2 years.
Good article! The key points are informative.
- “Russia is also the world’s top wheat exporter. Together with Ukraine, both account for roughly 29% of the global wheat export market.
- “China is also a big recipient of Ukrainian corn — in fact, Ukraine replaced the U.S. as China’s top corn supplier in 2021,” said Dawn Tiura, president at Sourcing Industry Group.
- Russia and Ukraine are also big suppliers of metals and other commodities, analysts said.
- While the European Union would be affected by the escalating crisis, Germany would be especially hit.”
Those who usually buy Russian or Ukraine wheat are screwed…except for China, who I read is buying all they can get.
China is not getting any corn from the Ukraine this year I would bet.
Germany appears to be on the most HIT list of everything I’m reading lately!
Well Germany is in many ways beyond help, incompetent (Green) government, still the country with extreme Corona restrictions and police violence against its own people. An incompetent foreign minister who wants to teach Putin with green unicorn policy. An energy minister who shuts down all nuclear and coal-fired power plants and thinks it will work without a blackout, although you now also want to get out of gas and a cocaine-addicted moron as health minister who injects underage children with experimental vaccines with his own hands.
That is Germany, who does not ask himself now should look at the man who sits as a woman there officially in the government, the country is no longer to help.
Well, there are still a few exceptions in the population, but they will emigrate.

Germany tries to play an role as "Peacekeeper" and "everybodies helper" until the whole country is blown up. But at the end they aren't acting much different than 1933 or during the DDR times against everyone who ask unconfortable questions or think different. And because it seems to work in Germany so the whole world have to follow this only correct way - in Berlin's thinking.
It really isn't all that different anymore in the States...ask questions, question the logic of the "official" line, think outside the box and you are spreading "misinformation" and labeled a domestic terrorist. Lord help us all!
The government has to muzzle us, because they can’t have us waking up too many sheeple. At least until it is too late…as in Americans killing Americans on the streets and homes for FOOD.
I will say this. When I started prepping 25 years ago, even family thought I was more than a little paranoid. Now, not so much.
I think the events of the last few years have served to wake up some people to the reality that our cushy lives have made us soft, dependent and vulnerable.
I might disagree with them on the reasons for prepping or the direction that the problems are coming from, but, glad to see more people actually doing something to have more than a couple of days of food in the pantry.

I agree, I don't hardly have time to sleep in the last 6 months or so because everyone between the age of 25 and sixty from all over the country is at my house every day of the week and especially weekends because they want to learn some old craft. And they are really paying attention to what your saying. Kind of makes me have hope for humanity. They are not even asking me , " is there an easier way". Just makes me enjoy them.
