The per usual republicrat farm socialism has created food supply
chaos, subsidized corn for ethanol fuel has crowded out other food
crops, speculators abroad have taken their bales of dollarpesos and
bought out our wheat supplies so that we'll have to re-import at a
higher price. Gov't. has paid southeast Texas farmers to raise
livestock instead of rice, now Sam's Club and Costco are rationing it.
So I tossed the ornamental plants and have planted corn, beans,
peppers, and tomatoes, maybe carrots next. I recommend others do the
same this season in their backyards if they have them. I don't think
there will be acute food shortages this year in the USA, but grocery
prices are high and getting higher. It will also save the fossile fuel
to get it from the farm to your table. I would raise meat...

Makes a hell of a lot more sense to plant marijuana, stupid.

That maybe the case in your area, but we couldn't find any either at the
local Sam's Club or Costco stores. No Texas long grain or other type of
rice. I'd checked Costo again yesterday, the shelves were empty of rice as
usual for the last few weeks, lots of beans though, LOL. Rice prices are
very high and if I'm not mistaken, it has already triple for the year.

What we are seeing is the result of deciding to grind up food (corn,
grains, rice) to make ethanol to keep the SUVs going without planning
where that extra food will come from. At least we have alternatives...
