Depends on the produce, legumes & grains are not field-to-table. Canneries would be canning next year's beans from September on this year, we're eating what they did last year. Wheat in the USA was already harvested in spring using prior year fertilizer, winter wheat has not been planted (late summer for spring harvest). Further, our food intake is based around 24/7 global imports and the world around our exports. More & more it looks like multiple monkey wrenches have been thrown into the cycle so shortages hit all at once, this winter and continuing into next year. Add fuel crises (plural), grid/bank failure(s) and war(s)...you'd have a lot of unprepared screaming for .gov to save them -
Don't be this guy...
I understand all that.. and I agree.
Just saying, I'm originally from the Salinas valley.
And all the farms are still chugging away.
I'm specifically off fresh produce, farm to table perishables.
I was never talking about canned or longer lasting stuff.
Check the labels of all produce at any store. If it was shipped, it says it's from Salinas or the nearby towns.
Only thing I ever see in our store from Salinas are artichokes. Watsonville for strawberries, Maine & Quebec for blueberries & potatoes, most everything else from Mexico, Peru or Florida. Very little CA produce makes it east where I am now.

Interesting. Not the case here in SW mo where we move d to recently.
And most artichokes are grown in the Marina area, near Monterey, just north.
Most broccoli in Greenfield (lived there too many years ago) but regardless, I'm sitting kind of regionally.
Check all the leafy green vegetables. Many from Salinas. And I have family who owns one of the biggest seed companies out there still.
His biggest concern was fertilizer costs are apparently sky rocketing. But so much food here wasted and thrown away. It's ridiculous. And that's main wide.
Wow you're getting downvotes for living in farm country and saying the crops are good. Wonder how many I'll get lol.
