Below was a post from a group I'm in. What is the impact on food supply short and long term due to this extended shutdown and govt regulation? I've seen many stories of dairy farmers dumping milk into fields that is going sour. Meat plants are being shut down left and right. The entire YUUUUGE food distribution chain shutdown that supplies restaurants and hotels etc.... They cannot convert a lot of that food over to "retail" packaging fast enough for grocery stores.
FYI, I buy high quality beef and pork direct from local farmers, better and cheaper. We are going to see a huge increase in demand for local commerce like that.
Does anyone worry about what "they" are doing to our food supply? We own a small family dairy farm. We got a letter in the mail at the beginning of this telling us to be prepared to dump our milk. They said we should cut back on production by culling some cows, drying some up early and cutting back their feed so they wouldn't produce as much. Local farmers have been dumping millions and millions of gallons of milk. The milk price is almost the lowest we've seen it...it had been looking good for this year, after many years of low prices.
The same is happening in the egg industry, and also the beef industry, and vegetables- piles of rotting veggies in the fields, smashing eggs.... It's criminal!
But, the crazy part is that the stores are limiting what can be purchased, and the prices are jacked way up.
My theory is that they are trying to feed the panic by creating the illusion that there is a food shortage.
All the talking heads say that this is bc the restaurants and schools are closed, so the demand is way less. BUT people didn't stop eating- if anything they're eating more {dairy products} than ever (comfort food/home cooking). Part of my theory is that they need to get rid of small farms like ours bc we can supply local people with food. A large factory farm is much easier to control, and when they control the food supply they control the people. Something just doesn't add up.

No matter what is actually happening, you can see the cabal’s objective- they want us starving and scared. We have been pretty comfortable during the quarantine because I started stocking up when Q told us to. Against the wishes of my spouse, I might add. Thought I was nuts buying extra toilet paper and filling the freezer completely full. If you can, now Is the time to fill your freezer, plant a garden, get some backyard chickens. Anything you can do to be self reliant and be in a position to help your neighbor. Look at it this way, if nothing happens, then you have a backyard full of organic food- people pay a lot of money for that. Most people have nothing to do right now. You can get a lot of food out of a tiny patch of dirt.

There one thing I haven't been able to do yet is get protection/security for fear of rocking the boat too much. I'm close, though
