What Shortages are You Seeing?

This is a rumbling news story from the UK at the minute, that no doubt will affect us in some way. I say rumbling- its like appendix-it could go away, or it could burst.
I just put up one news story, but maybe check others, each outlet has other ideas.
I feel personally its a number of things, lack of EU money due to Brexit, higher feed costs because of Ukraine/Russia

The term 'shortages' is a bit fluid, because most harvest are in and farmers can't afford break supermarket contracts - it could apply more to dairy farmers, but cows still have to be milked. Will watch and see.

i used to buy a 3lb bag of ocean spray craisens on amazon for around $7.49. id get a bag every couple weeks,. wasnt able to get some for a spell and thought id grab a couple and stock up. just found them and they are now $15.99. there was no increase like a dollar or so over the weeks, it just jumped to double.

We used to live in the woods and the only other cabin on the road was owned by "Cranberry Bill" He would always give us a bunch of crasins when he came out for hunting season. Later we found he was a major player in the cranberry business.
