Wheat exploded in price yesterday (limit up) after USDA forecast that over 8 million acres of HRW (Hard Red Wheat) will be abandoned in the Great Plains

That's 37% of planted acreage reported in the March Prospective Planting report, and means U.S. farmers this year will harvest their smallest wheat crop since 1972.

This comes on top of already record-low planted acreage heading into the season (lowest since 1919 in some metrics). Global supplies are tightening too.

Expect bread, pasta, baked goods, and processed foods to climb in the coming months — and pressure on livestock feed could push meat/dairy prices higher as well. This is another brick in the wall of rising food costs.

Grow your own food — that is the answer. Stock seeds, expand the garden, learn to preserve, and connect with local growers.

@SoPhillyDave1 The post was about corn farmers, Dave.

American farmers face loss of $100+/acre

-- this is what I've meant when I keep saying the technocrats are making farming economically unviable:

"Across the country, corn growers are feeling squeezed from both directions. Costs for fertilizer, diesel fuel, crop protection, and seed continue climbing, while corn prices remain too low to offset those expenses."

This is a #WarOnFarms to consolidate control of food production into the hands of the technocrats.

Grow those gardens...

USDA Destroying 420,000 peach trees after Del Monte closes all California canneries for good

Del Monte (139 years old) filed bankruptcy as rising energy prices and steel tariffs exacerbated an already bad balance sheet. They closed their Modesto and Hughson canning plants and canceled long-term contracts worth hundreds of millions.

Farmers now have no buyer for clingstone peaches meant for canning.

The USDA is "helping" farmers, providing $9m to destroy the orchards, calling it 'support for transitioning.'

This is what systemic failure looks like in a centralized food supply: one big player collapses, and the entire chain breaks.

Grow your own food! De-centralize! #GoGrow

"US Law Enforcement Warns of ‘Anti-Tech Extremism’ as AI Hatred Grows"

In the post below, I mentioned "You don't cut 50,000 people off from their electricity unless you WANT an outcry against the new data centers."

Now we are seeing clear signs: they DO want it. This is a brand new agenda: socially engineering a pushback against the AI takeover. And the FBI is already training for it — linking it even with Luigi Mangione:

"In the wake of attacks on CEOs, a nationwide protest movement targeting data centers, and increasing concerns about AI job replacement, federal intelligence agencies and domestic law enforcement are circulating reports with a new domestic target in mind: anti-technology extremists."

So, as data centers drain our aquifers and consume our resources, they are already pre-positioning to classify anyone who objects as "anti-technology extremist" terrorists.

"In California, Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin, state and local police have removed or arrested speakers at town halls who criticize data centers, in one case before they were even allowed to speak. [...] This has led to protesters and activists being surveilled under domestic extremism provisions while being charged with crimes like criminal trespass and vandalism."

Reality is getting weirder...

50,000 Lake Tahoe residents told to "find their own power" after utility company directs their output to data centers.

Google, Apple, and Microsoft have either built or are planning facilities around the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center east of Reno — and residents, who are already paying drastically increased rates, are now learning their energy supplier is simply redirecting its output.

"the energy supplier for the Lake Tahoe region [NV Energy] is telling the utility company [Liberty Utilities] that it has less than a year to find another power source."

It almost seems, one wouldn't do this ... unless one WANTED an outcry against the new data centers ...

UN FAO Warns of Food Crisis, Announces Technocratic Takeover of Food Production

UN FAO Warns of Food Crisis, Announces Technocratic Takeover of Food Production [VIDEO in replies]

The UN's FAO just warned of a major global food crisis triggered by the Strait of Hormuz conflict.

In this video I decode their official policy recommendations and show what they actually mean for farmers and food production. From digital registries and surveillance to debt traps and corporate control, this is the technocratic takeover of food production hidden behind "resilience" language. The real solution lies in decentralized, self-reliant food growing ... like Russia's dacha gardens that fed a nation during collapse. Watch until the end for the better path forward.

GAO report warns US water and wastewater systems are vulnerable to hackers

As we monitor the cybersecurity / "Iran hackers" space, the GAO just issued a fresh warning that US water infrastructure is largely insecure: old, pre-internet systems without any authentication have been glued with connected components — and the report claims foreign hackers have already found their way in and attacked, including ransomware attacks.

The report describes how an attack on highly vulnerable critical water infrastructure could cause service disruptions and environmental damage, as well as cripple downstream systems including the power grid, hospitals/healthcare, food & agriculture, and so forth.

Lubricant Shortage Will Grind Agriculture to a Halt [VIDEO in replies]

The well-oiled machine of American agriculture may grind to a halt due to widespread lubricant shortages triggered by the Strait of Hormuz disruption. From Toyota and Nissan's warnings to a leaked internal memo from AutoZone, the crisis is now hitting retail and industry hard. Experts warned this was coming in March, naming agriculture and trucking as critical sectors at risk. In this video, Christian breaks down exactly how the shortage hits our food supply and how the technocrats are already positioning synthetic “food as software” as the solution.

Playing God: "Ressurect Bio" uses AI to rewrite genetic code of crops

The company has just closed a $10m round of funding led by Ag giant Corteva to build out their "FloraFold AI" platform, which analyzes protein interactions between crops and pathogens and suggests edits to seed companies aimed at making plants more resilient to pests, or "resurrecting" their immune system.

The name doesn't hide it: they are playing God, and the idea of letting AI arbitrarily rewrite the genetics of our food system without any idea what side effects these edits may have ... is totally insane.

Ukraine Aims to Liquidate Family Farms

The gov is pushing an amendment to Civil Code that eliminates "Family Farm" as a legal entity, forcing farmers to re-register as sole proprietorship or a full LLC (or go black market).

Experts are warning this causes all sorts of headaches for traditional farms—including inheritance issues— and fuels the consolidation of independent/smale-scale food production into large corporate hands.

The technocratic takeover of food proceeds around the world!

Food prices posted the largest month-to-month increase in four years in April as energy volatility starts to hit.

Growing a garden is a FANTASTIC investment: in finances, in health, and in liberty!

Food prices jumped 0.7% in April alone (up 2.9% year-over-year), the largest month-to-month increase in four years. "Higher freight and energy costs are just starting to impact the rise in consumer food prices, but it could take up to six months or more for costs to fully reflect the current environment."

Tomatoes have had the largest run-up in prices, 15 percent higher since March and 30 percent above February. Even the NYTimes is saying "Tomato prices are soaring".

Climate Cultists Now Punishing the Elderly for "Sinning" Against the Planet

Danish Green party politician openly defends capping nursing home residents at just 80 grams of beef per week (about 11g/day = less than a single taco):

“Everyone, including the elderly, must contribute to achieving our climate goals. It is precisely the generation that has screwed up the most.”

They aren't even hiding it any more — rationing protein for the elderly is not about the climate. It's about control. They want to break the food system, destroy traditional farming and ranching, and dictate who eats what.

From this to the biometric ID needed for food aid in India, "The Great Reset" targets the vulnerable first.

Farmers Abandon Wheat Crop, Igniting Global Food Shortage Fears [VIDEO linked in replies]

Wheat futures explode after the USDA dropped a bombshell: 10.5+ million acres of U.S. wheat abandoned, marking the smallest American wheat crop since 1972. Hard Red Winter (the main bread wheat) is getting crushed, with production down sharply and futures limit-up.

Globally it's no better: major exporters like Australia (-17%), Argentina (-25%), Canada (-12%), and others are all down at once. The result? A tightening world supply that mainstream analysts say is now raising serious food shortage fears.

Why are farmers walking away from fields? Drought + skyrocketing diesel prices are making harvest uneconomical on millions of acres.

What does this means for you? Sharply higher prices for bread, pasta, flour, cereals, and baked goods are coming. It also pushes up livestock feed costs, which will drive higher meat, dairy, and egg prices in the months ahead.
