UPDATED: How To Survive the Coming Food Shortage Problem - Michigan Farmer Here - Must Have Information for Empowerment

I live is a rural city. At the farmers market they want double what the stores want! I asked why and was told well it is fresh. And how do I know that? You mean he picked several bushels of corn befor the marked opened? Lets face it in a pinch the farmers are going to cash in for all they can!

Very outdated pricing, everything as at least twice as much right now.

Great advice!
It's so much nicer to hear constructive suggestions instead of all of the bitching and whining on this site

I'm just eating a lot more rice and pasta. Grilled cheese sandwiches are cheap and easy. Lots of ramen. I'll survive. We may not be able to eat what we used to or what we want, but we're not going to starve like people in other countries

Grocery stores are great if everything goes right, but when things get bad, and shelves are empty, then what?


Stay calm, take a deep breath Nothing to fear if we're prepared properly, it'll take some doing, and brainwork as well. Time for everyone to stick together now.


About Me: Rural Michigan farmer, co-op seller, and all-around survivor here.


It's time people understand and know the truth, most of what they eat is bought for pennies, processed, and sold for many times more than the pennies use to buy them. Capitalism is at its finest when it works, but when it doesn't how can we all survive during massive inflation or a collapse of the financial system.


Immediately start developing relationships with rural farmers, farm co-ops, and similar. Why? Because water and food are the most important thing. A millionaire will trade all his gold, just for a meal if his family is hungry enough when things get desperate.


Make sure to have a root-cellar, mason jars, and learn how to can everything. Buy a book on it, if you don't know-how.


1) Potatoes/similar tubers a 100-pound bag can be bought, in the rural area farm for about $5 to $10, sometimes if farmers have excess even cheaper.

2) Carrots same as above, in fact, during deer hunting season there are massive bags at gas stations for about $5.

3) Buy in bulk, sacs of dried grains 50 to 100lbs less than $8 in season, and right after harvest.

4) Co-op cattle, and agree to prices and processing costs early on, then get a deep freezer, or learn to can meat.


5) Any veggies in season can be bought for a massive discount if people take the time to travel to rural areas and talk with the farmers directly. Maybe even bring them a gift, ask if they need help, sometimes they'll even trade crops for temp-work.

6) Grain processing mills. Know where all of them are within a 200-mile radius of your city because 50-100lb sacks are cheap in season.

7) Absolutely learn to grow greens yourself, it can be done in the city easily all year round with a small greenhouse, even in Michigan.

8) Have Chickens as many as people can handle they provide multiple souces of food. Eggs, meat, and keep bugs to a mimimum around the house.


Everything I've posted above can feed a family of 5-6 for Less than $200 a month or less if done properly. Granted all the bling processed foods aren't included but everyone will eat well and survive an epic downturn.

Michigan/Detroit has a true farmers market that has been around since the 1800s, if people talk with the farmers that sell there, many times they can get amazing deals at the end of the days selling when the farmers don't want to take their product back with them.

I've gotten cases of Bell peppers in assorted colors for $3. Flats of strawberry for $2-3, seedlings in trays and pots for $3 a flat.

Great thread. I support local growers
Am grateful for their hard work

The collapse is planned
Article by Dr Day
He indicated that there is much more cooperation between East and West than most people realize. He was free to speak at this time because " ... everything is in place and nobody can stop us now."

When the new system takes over, people will be expected to sign allegiance to it, indicating that they don't have any reservations to the old system.

"There just won't be any room for people who won't go along. We can't have such people cluttering up the place so such people would be taken to special places and disposed of humanely."

The transcript of Dunegan's recollections has been posted here and should be read in full. However, I'll provide a summary here.


ORWELLIAN POLICE STATE


They do want to implant a chip in us so they can find and identify us, as well as monitor and control our purchases.

They are weaning us off national allegiance and will resort to terrorism to win our assent to their global police state. They may use "one or two nuclear bombs to convince people we mean business," Day said.

the Rockefeller Institute but is kept secret for purposes of depopulation. He said there will be an increase in infectious man-made diseases.

Dr. Day, who worked in weather modification during the war, said weather can be used to wage war or create drought and famine. The food supply will be monitored so no one can get enough food to "support a fugitive from the New System." Growing your own food will be outlawed under the pretext being unsafe.

"Each part of the world will have a specialty and thus become inter-dependent, he said. The US will remain a center for agriculture, high tech, communications, and education but heavy industry would be "transported out."


Bible has been altered :


that "A New World System" would permanently transform the world, Dr. Day, who died in 1989, wanted to prepare the 80 or so physicians present. He said people are controlled by means of the information they are given. Often contradictory information works (i.e. discrimination is bad unless it is against whites.) Information will be selective. Not everyone will be allowed to own books.

"Certain books will disappear from libraries."

Literary classics and the Bible will be subtly altered.

People will spend longer in school but not learn anything. There will be restrictions on travel and private home ownership will gradually disappear. Homes will become so expensive that people will have to share small apartments with non-family members.

Great thread. I would also recommend learning to hunt and fish. I have a hunting bow. I also have a .22 caliber break barrel air rifle suitable for taking down small game (I don't have a 'real' gun yet cause I need to get a damn license. also, the stores here are ravaged, there's like no guns in stock). But that rifle rocks, I've seen videos of people hunting wild turkeys with it. If you can hunt, you can get food. The lakes around here are filled with ducks. I can go fishing off the shore, for shore perch. Food is everywhere. There's some nice big fast doves that land in my backyard all the time if I sprinkle out some bird seed, and I'm like, hmmmmm, dinner. But I don't need to do that yet, leave the poor doves alone lol :-)

And don’t forget microgreens. 4x the nutrition of vegetables, can grow in just a few days, with minimal equipment/lighting. Sprouted lentils and chickpeas grow quickly too.

There is no "food shortage" coming, perhaps if you were an actual farmer and not some yokel you would be well familiar with this fact.

[link to www.ers.usda.gov (secure)]

If you were an actual farmer you would understand the US Farmers assoc. and USDA allocate together depending on crop yields allocation of food grain and feed grain depending on the years supply, you would also understand the USDA has literally 2 years worth of supply in seed and grain at any point in the year for any such emergency. And exports are lowered or raised accordingly.

You sir, are utter bullshit. Nothing is projected.
