The per usual republicrat farm socialism has created food supply
chaos, subsidized corn for ethanol fuel has crowded out other food
crops, speculators abroad have taken their bales of dollarpesos and
bought out our wheat supplies so that we'll have to re-import at a
higher price. Gov't. has paid southeast Texas farmers to raise
livestock instead of rice, now Sam's Club and Costco are rationing
it. So I tossed the ornamental plants and have planted corn, beans,
peppers, and tomatoes, maybe carrots next. I recommend others do the
same this season in their backyards if they have them. I don't think
there will be acute food shortages this year in the USA, but grocery
prices are high and getting higher. It will also save the fossile
fuel to get it from the farm to your table. I would raise meat but
codes in my 'burb won't allow it.
You can probably raise rabbits...and I know that even though it's
not an accepted food product in the US, guinea pigs are raised for
meat in South America.
Rats are raised in huge numbers in New York apartments.
As are assholes down under.
