I am sure that all of you have seen the increase in the price of Ammo because of the increased cost of copper, lead and the declining dollar. Those same factors combined with the credit crunch (home implosion whatever you want to call it), bio fuels, increased global demand, high fuel prices and product shortfalls (drought, storms, crop failures) have put us into a position of having short falls in the food supply.

The below is reports in the news. These are only a few. Odd that it is being reported a bit more by UK outlets than ours...

It doesn't just stop at grains... Cows eat grain, hogs eat grain...

Be prepared for a tough summer folks.
 
Cars eat grains...

if biodiesel costs exceed oil prices and as it now takes more energy to make bio, we'll all starve.Or eat oil.;)
 
And my family thought I was nuts when they found out I was buying LOADS of rice/beans/lentils at $0.25/lb. I have plenty of food. :)
