   This should be a wakeup call to all to stock up on non-perishables now and purchase food items a supply to preserve or freeze .

   A combo of weather, worker shortages and wages have forced some farmers to abandon some fields.

   Was picking berries early this morning. The farmer told us that there are not enough pickers to take in the the crop. I estimated that only 50% would be harvested. The rest will go to waste.
   He used to grow a number of vegetables for the farm mkt but reliable help dried up so he didn’t plant. This is occurring all over.

   I thought that the shortages would hit last Winter. I was wrong. The shelves were normal. Will it be this Winter?

   Much of this tracks back to the drive to Net-Zero. Increasing Carbon taxes forcing up the cost of everything.

   The only ones happy with Uncle Klauses “eat ze bugs” were the Guinea Hens that run throughout the patch chasing down anything that moved on the ground.

   Thanks for posting this link. I grow most of my own vegetables in western Montana. This year conditions have been near perfect for growing. Last year the eastern part of the state had a terrible drought and this year that part of the state has gotten lots of rain and they have great crops. One thing I can count on every year is that I never know what the weather will be like.
