That movie has stuck with me ever since I watched it.
I have been reading about this, too. Right now Amazon still has some Augason items but don't know how long that will be true. I've been meaning to order some dehydrated sliced potatoes but instead have been buying the individual boxes from the grocery store.watched a short vid on youtoob and the lady showed an letter, that Augason Farms is shutting down for 90 days due to a shortage of materials?
The letter was dated on the 7th of this month
This deserves its own thread.
I wonder how much Halloween candy will cost this year compared to last year.
WOW!Miami stores are getting hit hard; lines, police to prevent rioting, etc. Why? BC there are a lot of Russian, Cubans, and Venezuelans there. They can read the handwriting on the wall and are terrified.

I live in central Washington and yes it was a drought year and the wheat was not good.
By almost any conceivable measure, this summer's lengthy and extreme drought led to historic lows in the production and quality of the region's signature cash crop. ... In Washington, the projected crop year production this year is 87.1 million bushels of both spring and winter wheat, the lowest total since 1964.
Kind of scary...
Information from another forum:
Saturday I stopped at the store to grab a couple things and the people in front of me in the checkout had bought ALL the pork that was on sale. Literally about $500 worth..and ironically I was looking for a package of chops - they were buy one, get one and there were only a few odds and ends left, not even enough to take advantage of the deal.
They had a cart and a half of just pork chops.
I just happened to be in town, but easy enough to get at the neighbors farm store instead so no big deal...but yeah, I think people are panic buying.
There were limits on most things last year. There is a mint oil that I like to use in the bathroom and it was limited to one. DH and I would buy one each. I've expanded my bathroom cleaning to also use Fabuloso. It works well and a dollar a bottle, still, at DT.Instead of just seeing limits on TP and PT, we may begin to see limits on everything! Food rationing just to keep things like this from happening?

I found out about it from a relative who has a lot of connections in S Fla with people from those three countries, and also saw a post somewhere; I read so widely that I am not sure where I saw it; it may have been on the Facebook Food Shortage (members only) group. If I can find it I will post it here.Did you speak to any of these people?
They pretty much have to be living in a cave if they don't know by now. The MSM is using it as their lead story pretty much on a daily basis.reality...when the masses wake up to the food shortages going on, they will wipe out the shelves of everything...including marshmallows
In addition to the paper product limits, our Sams had limit three on bottled water. limit one each on cases of canned veggies/fruit/chili/beans. That is all pretty standard at our Sams. Other limits on things would come and go according to the availability. Central FloridaThe only things I ever saw a limit on here was TP and PT. I'm seeing this again at Sam's in my locale.

You ought to see it when we have a hurricane heading this way. Literally, shelves are emptied.reality...when the masses wake up to the food shortages going on, they will wipe out the shelves of everything...including marshmallows
this is why there needs to be limits, unless they have proof that the purchase was for business purposes this is just insane!
Worth repeating: find out when the trucks generally come in and arrange to be there after they are unloaded. For me, that's first thing on Thursday morning if I'm shopping for hard to find items. A lot of the trucks arrive on Wednesday afternoons.
That's always been the policy if the smaller (than WalMart) grocery stores... they didn't necessarily have a hard limit (although on really good loss leaders, they usually have a limit if 2) but they wouldn't let you buy all the pork or whatever.After being wiped out of some products last year, most grocery stores in my area have signs along the lines of: Management Reserves the Right to Limit Quantities of Popular Items
Which means that 3 - 4 of the item is fine but filling up a shopping cart with it is a no-no.

At our local supermarket back home, they would have great sales on whole, boneless pork loins. And, they'd cut them to order for free. So, I'd call early in the week and order 6 or 8 whole loins (50-70#) I'd have one or two cut into small roasts (empty nest... don't need an 8# roast for dinner anymore!) and the rest into 1" thick chops. I'd usually cut up 20-30ď of the chops and make stew, which I canned. At 99 cents a pound, it was hard to beat!Yep, and Fareway and HyVee here in town both have huge signs above the meat counter telling people if they need large amounts they can place an order and they'll even cut them a deal on pricing! NOTE there are a lot of families here in town that have ten or more children (full quiver believers).

Where are you at?Winter wheat around here is getting planted at a breakneck speed this year. As soon as the corn is out they are not waiting to put wheat back in. Last year they were slow and didn't get a lot of it done....not this year. I've seen wheat already 8" tall which is pretty much unheard of this early.
