Thanks for the insight. I guess we really have no clue re. the magnitude of farmers, but it seems like a hard life dependent on the weather and keeping animals healthy. No guarantees for farmers-dependent on weather, transportation, market demand, etc. Better to be safe than sorry. It is useless to stock up on perishables. You can freeze bread, but not so much milk and sushi! Lol. Better yet, buy flour and bulk yeast. Learn how to make it-cheaper, no preservatives, bake as you need. If you have to eat bread you won’t go hungry, but also not the best for your diet. Buy canned protein and rotate. If you don’t need it, donate before it expires. We haven’t seen major shortages-less frozen chicken nuggets, patties, decreased fresh chicken and turkey, but still available. Mothers and fathers, make your own nuggets. It is easy, tastes better, and no preservatives. Spend a couple hours on the weekend. Cook just until done and the pop in the oven or microwave for a quick meal. Get food that will stretch, but can also be eaten cold in case of a brief power outage: canned tuna can make a casserole to serve 12 portions; if no electricity, you can open a can or mix with pasta (heat water on your grill to cook rice or pasta and throw together). Dried beans keep forever, just need to soak and cook. Canned pasta products for the kids. A 25# bag of rice and flour go along way. Mix with a little protein and it will sustain you.
