When out looking for more of these events, I happened to notice that there have recently been a bunch (at least 5 or 6 at first glance) of fires & attempts at arson in local Walmart's in the last couple of months. I did not look too closely at them, and I'm intentionally not including those in this list (for now) since they are likely just local issues and not possible attacks on the broader food chain. However if someone wants to research it and finds that it looks like it is many more locations than that, or something more coordinated seems to be going on, please let me know.

No survivors after plane crashes near Georgia General Mills plant

I normally would not have included this one in the list, but since there was another small plane crash into an Idaho food processing plant last week, I'm including it here. Seems very odd.

This came off of a Ice Age Farmer chat room in telegram

Grabbed these of Gab, apologies if already posted.

parsonwife & greysage,
Can you do me a favor, and go thru this list that you posted, and compare the events to the list that I'm making for this thread (and updated one will be posted below this post) and see if there are any on your list(s) that are not on our list yet? Thank you.

Kentucky hatchery hit by tornado

I think I'm going to leave food production that is damaged by natural disasters off the list, so we don't veer off into weather manipulation. The list of fires/explosions is getting quite long. If there is a pattern (which it looks like there may be at this point), I'd like the list to be as undeniable as possible by a DGI person. That way we can use it as a tool to try to convince others. (Backwoods Chic -- Thank you for all the great things you are posting, btw!)

I could swear there was a fire at a major Coca Cola plant last year too.
Somewhere but I can’t remember what the gas station cashier said, exactly. All I know is for weeks Diet Coke was VERY sparse.

Haven't found it yet. Any idea what state it was in, to help me refine my search?

So this begs the question are these increasing or are we just noticing them more because we are aware?

That is the real question, isn't it. If we can come up with a good control-year, and someone was willing to try to research to see how many they can find in that year, it might help to determine that answer. Of course the counter to that would be, it is easier to research events that are more current than those that happened further in the past. I'm thinking either 2018 or 2019 would make a good control-year. Any thoughts?

Fire destroys East Conway butcher shop
CONWAY — A fire destroyed East Conway Beef & Pork on Monday night

Just found out yesterday that one of the 5 USDA shops in Maine is closing. Not to any disaster but due to retirement. These shops have a large impact on the local ag economy. With the farmers markets in both NH and ME, farms frequently cross the border to sell at these markets. That meat has to be USDA inspected to do that. This removes access to the lucrative summer markets down in the seacoast areas for some of the farms.

And with 2 shops down it makes a tighter market for folks wanting to get their own livestock butchered.

Do you know (or can you find out) which one is shutting down? I'd like to include it in the list, at least temporarily. Also, any idea if this was a planned retirement (as in one that was known was coming for a long time), or if it was a sudden retirement (as in one where there may have been pressure applied to cause it)?

If someone is out there trying to destroy the US food distribution system, not all destruction is going to be explosions/arson. There are ways to accomplish the same goal with more finesse.

Important: Something to watch out for when posting these "lists" of all these events. I've come across several of them now that have duplicated items. Please try to scrub these lists to make sure the data we are including is as accurate as possible.

As an example: There was a fire at a Walmart distribution center in Plainfield, Indiana. I've seen this same distribution center being reported as destroyed in Texas, California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New York -- all in error. There was one list that have 5 Walmart distribution centers' destroyed, but all 5 were talking about the same one in Plainfield. The links they provided to news articles were articles that were written in newspapers of those other states talking about the fire in Plainfield, but because the top line would say "Texas --" the bot or person scrapping the site would report it as a distribution center fire in Texas when the article was about Indiana.

ETA: Then there are examples where websites (like theeconomiccollapseblog.com) post lists of events that occurred in 2022, but include events that actually happened as far back as Jan 2021.

My understanding is the guy is retiring and the son doesnt want to take over the business. Nothing nefarious just age. I havent seen anything official yet just heard from several different people that it is happening. Maybe we get lucky and someone buys it out and takes over.

Okay, thank you. I'm going to leave it off the list for now, then. If you hear anything that would make you think it should be on the list, please let us know.

Not knowing where to put this thought provoking question, I decided to put it here.
So, here goes.
The US has a GDP of $20 trillion. That is 20,000 billion
The EU has a GDP of $20 trillion. That is 20,000 billion
China has a GDP of $14 trillion. That is 14,000 billion
All told that is 54,000 billion.
Got it?
Ukraine's GDP before the war was $155 billion in 2020.
Got it?
The economies of the combined top 3 economies are 350 times greater than the economy of Ukraine.
It isn't even 1 percent.

Now you can talk about dominoes and synergies and integrated affects all day long
however, coming up with a satisfactory explanation of
how an economy which is less than 1 percent of the worlds economy
can affect "world hunger" is certainly unbelievable.

However, I am also certain you will try.

Half or more of the USDA approved butcher shops/lockers have closed here in central Iowa in the past 30 years, and I'm talking something like 30+ places as most small towns had a local locker.

This is a pretty common problem that I've seen in the past 29 years I've lived here in Iowa, and again back home in Illinois. Dad/pops is ready to retire and the kids are all grown and are settled in their careers, half the time they don't even live in the same state anymore.

I know back home when the local grocery owner and his wife were ready to retire they were already in their 80's and half of their kids had already retired from lucrative careers of their own! None of the grandkids or employees wanted the business so it was shuttered. Of course some idiots blame it all on walmart but I can tell you from owning my own brick and mortar it's a LOT of work, a lot of work, and very often for very little pay!

We can discuss this indepth on the Azure Standard thread, but yes it happens more often than people think. Most restautrant fires are caused by flour dust, than actual grease fires.

???
Did I miss something? This thread is about reporting impacts to the food production & delivery system in the United States via events (mostly) happening in the United States. The point of the thread is to make a list of these events, and try to see if they are happening more often than what is normal. It's not about what is going on in Ukraine, China, or Russia, and is not even discussing the "dominoes and synergies and integrated affects". Its not even really for discussion of all these domestic events, it is about cataloging the events. Don't get me wrong, your post is interesting to me, and seems worthy to discuss, but I would have figured you would have posted it on a thread about something related to Ukraine, or maybe even it's own thread. Did you post it here by mistake?

The famine will be world wide. Panama is being prepared as an enlarged pipeline to bring refugees from all over the world into the US. This will be exacerbated by the famine. At the same time, food related facilities and infrastructure are being systematically destroyed in the US and in Europe. Meanwhile, fuel prices and transportation policies are slowing the transportation of food. It is difficult not to see the pattern emerging of a violent and massive food crisis in the US. Your lists need context.

The world's largest frozen pizza plant is located near me. It is usually a safe place and has chugged along for over 60 years.

That said, there have been 3 fires in the plant in very recent times. I've always wondered if they are failed attempts to destroy it.

GDP is relatively meaningless for this... instead look at the percentage of world supplies of corn, sunflowers and other staples Ukraine *used to* export before the war.

But even the loss of that isn't going to,cause worldwide famine... Unless TPTB weapons it and capitalize on it. Given all the dire warnings in the propaganda pieces, it appears they are planning on doing just that.

Actually, GDP DOES matter. It matters because the "percentage of world supplies" comes from the Globalists.
And we know they lie.
How much do they lie? You can get a rough measure by looking at GDP.
Either Ukraine's contribution to world supplies is highly over estimated
OR Ukraine has been selling their product way way too cheap.

Which is it? Did Ukraine sell too cheap? Or is the UN and the WEF over estimating Ukraine's contribution?

21 certainly. Once this year I believe, as well.

The plant is undergoing a huge expansion now, using concrete walls. The expansion is enormous!

Would you be willing to give us the name/city of the plant? And (if you happen to have one) and article about it? I'd like to look into it an evaluate it for adding it to the list.

Tony's / Schwan's Pizza and Frozen Foods Plant in Salina, Ks.

I googled and find it odd from local news archives that there were stories of fires in 2015 and 2016, but none that I saw reported on more recently.

Since the dates of the stories, I'm certain there have been fires as I was told by my nephew who is a firefighter/emt there. As in several fires. Also, a South Korean company now owns 80% of the company. It's all just strange.

The business manufactures Rachael Ray Nutrish and other pet food and snacks brands.

A blaze ignited in a piece of equipment early Tuesday morning at the J.M. Smucker-owned Ainsworth Pet Nutrition manufacturing facility in Vernon Township, PA, according to a report in the Meadville Tribune.

The fire started in steel pipes attached to a piece of milling equipment. A local fire official told the newspaper that product clogged the pipes and overheated, sparking the flames.

Zero Hedge has an article up this evening about a targeted cyber attack warning on food production after a series of mysterious fires.
Yep, I just read that, here it is:

FBI Warns of Targeted Cyber Attacks On Food Plants After Mysterious Rash Of Fires | ZeroHedge

FBI Warns of Targeted Cyber Attacks On Food Plants After Mysterious Rash Of Fires
BY TYLER DURDEN
SATURDAY, APR 23, 2022 - 06:00 PM

The FBI's Cyber Division published a notice this past week warning about increased cyber-attack threats on agricultural cooperatives, which comes at a time when a curious string of fires and explosions damage major food processing plants across the country.

"Ransomware actors may be more likely to attack agricultural cooperatives during critical planting and harvest seasons, disrupting operations, causing financial loss, and negatively impacting the food supply chain," the notice read, adding 2021 and early 2022 ransomware attacks on farming co-ops could affect the current planting season "by disrupting the supply of seeds and fertilizer."

The agency warned, "A significant disruption of grain production could impact the entire food chain, since grain is not only consumed by humans but also used for animal feed ... In addition, a significant disruption of grain and corn production could impact commodities trading and stocks. "


The FBI's warning comes as "nearly two dozen food processing facilities across Canada and the US" have experienced a "string of fires, plane crashes and explosions," according to The Western Standard.



The most recent incidents were fires at two Oregon-based food processing plants. The first, on Monday night, a fire destroyed Azure Standard's joint headquarters and warehouse facilities. The second was an explosion on Tuesday at a Shearer's Foods plant.

Internet sleuths pieced together a compilation of headlines showing a spate of fires at food processing plants across the country in the last year or so.

This is all happening as the Ukraine-Russian conflict has disrupted the global food supply chain. Food prices are at record highs, and the Rockefeller Foundation just released their timeframe of when a "massive, immediate food crisis" may begin -- they say, "in the next six months."

FOOD SUPPLY SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUSTING

I’m so glad this is catching people’s attention. One thing to note: it’s been going on for YEARS.

Here is a map I’d created in 2020 when the suspicious fires at food processing plants started ticking up, and then it became impossible to keep up!

You can click each pin to find a farm, or food distribution center, or warehouse, or grain elevator, or the port of Beirut going up in flames — and each whittles away the resilience of our food supply chain.

The 20 fires in the last 2 months here (which are not even on this map yet), while noteworthy, are just the latest acceleration!

Something strange & troubling has been happening, ever since Biden came out warning the public about food shortages hitting the US. For the past month, there’s been a wave of food production facilities destroyed or rendered inoperable! Makes one wonder, what’s going on? Thoughts?

I think most of us would agree these are not coincidences so ok who do you think is behind it? Foreign like China or Russia? Isis? Domestic like Antifa? Our own Govt? And I know from experience unless you know someone in the fire dept or police you can't find out anything if something happens around my area.
Cliff High says that the WEF is responsible for the fires at the food processing plants in order to starve us out. He says they are a criminal organization.
