Just saw an article this morning about a corn farmer in PA farming 3500 acres worried that he might not be able to stay in business because of the average price of diesel in PA is $6.19 a gallon, which is 75% higher than it was at the same time last year. He requires 2000 gallons of fuel a month to farm his acreage. You can do the math on that yourself. For those who can't, it's $12,380.00 a month. So if you notice an absence of products on the shelves of your local stores this could be one of the reasons why.

Notvette has good reason to be concerned about a canned corn shortage.
 
I know that the constant rain this spring in the upper Midwest was significantly delaying planting season. That's probably going to impact prices at the very least.

Amazing how our founding fathers who were farmers were able to afford gas. 😊
 
There will be some lean years as the huge corporate farm model with heavy machinery breaks down and is replaced by smaller family farms with animals pulling machinery. Saving trash and crap for compost replaces imported fertilizer.

You could do with less food, fatboy.
 
Also, what kind of farmer operates their equipment everyday year round? A couple of months a year I could see...
