Some GMO farms SHOULD be shut down
Dangerous crops
POISONED soil.
Quite sure REAL Farmers are protected and in some ways WORSHIPPED by the White Hats. Farmers deserve worship, not entertainers and sports clowns. GOOD teachers deserve a special place in our hearts as well.. First responders; GOOD men in Blue TOO

I am a muslim immigrant and own many head of sheep which I have been selling one at a time to many of my neighbors which they slaughter to feed their family.
I still have a few left and will also sell all of these except one, which is my girlfriend.

Here is their plan: Check out Food Chain Reaction a DS org. A Global Food Security Game is a simulation and role-playing exercise intended to improve understanding of how governments, institutions, and private sector interests might interact to address a crisis in the global food system. The scenario is set five years from today in a world where population growth, rapid urbanization, extreme weather, and political crises combine to threaten global food security.
The game’s players—high-level decision makers representing nations, international institutions, and the private sector—will collaborate, negotiate, make decisions, and confront tradeoffs while dealing with a chain reaction of consequences resulting from their actions.
How can new preppers get ready? I heard meat will be shortages to stock up and buy extra freezer. now land for garden i have a deck. any ideas welcome. Rice is going up and easy to store long term.

Haven't they done this to small farmers for decades... in Iowa in the 90s small corn and soy farmers got pushed out of business by big conglomerates that could harvest thousands of acres with combines.... combines being over $100,000 at the time, farmers couldn't compete and sold off their land. Montsanto was behind it.
I'm not a religious person but I can't help thinking of the part in Matthew: And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
I believe these "days" will be shortened by Q/Q+ or you are right, all small farms and small businesses will go under. And I do believe Trump when he says things will be better than ever.

agree mostly. however extended shutdowns is going to ruin many producers as demand is down. people eat less when limited to grocery, and also economic damage people will be spending less. I think there will be lots of supply destroyed, namely smaller farmers. There is an opportunity for them to sell direct if they get some marketing going. But how they get around regulation for dairy, meat etc...is another subject. It's time to open up some more local meat markets and processors!
the foodservice distributors have to be getting killed, Sysco, US foods etc... that biz has been decimated.
we'll be the last country to ever starve but things will be severely impacted from what they were.
I wish local independent butchers would come back. It's been harder and harder to find a local butcher that is an independent (I don't know of any near where I live now). I preferred going to them, the meat was much better because they were usually selling their own animals that they raised. Now, it's all grocery store chains or big box stores.
