As the US farmers face a major reduction in exports, they will reduce the amount that they plant – this will cause an upheaval in our own economy -
Now is the time for all of us to go back in time – and start planting our own “victory gardens” – in order to feed our own families.
Here is an excerpt from a news article from Reuters:
“Last year, as growing ranks of the poor worried about soaring food prices, American farmers flourished with exports rising $33 billion to a record $115.5 billion.
But this year with margins and farm income under pressure, farmers are expected to slash planting of major crops by 5.2 million acres to some 247.6 million acres.”
