I’ve seen multiple farmers in the flyover states talking about how the government is going to farmers and offering them 1.5x the value of their crops if they destroy the crops.
In Nebraska they are trying to take millions of acres of farmland for “climate change” purposes. The people are refusing to sell but due to eminent domain the government could succeed.
This coincides with China and Bill Gates both buying up massive amounts of land in the United States.
The question is why they want all these shortages
It only makes sense to keep a supply of shelf stable food put away. Even the evil government says Americans should have a minimum supply of food for emergency situations.
It is also Biblical that in the end times food will become prohibitively expensive (Revelation 6:6).
