Our food source~

[snow1]

Could be under fire (processing plants),Seems a possible conspiracy is taking place and until yesterday never gave it a thought.

This started in 2017 our country had 7 processing plants go up in flames,every year since more fires,explosions  2021 hit doulbe digits losses as of yesterday's news in 2022 in just 5 months 17 plants have shut down due to fire or explosions,two by airplane crashes,makes one think.

what do you guyz think? coincidence or?Never gave it a thought until I seen the numbers.

cripple a country nixing it's energy source,food supply then water.

Don’t follow the news and not huge on social media so I had to google what you were talking about…sounds like made up news to get likes and followers.

Hmmm don't par take in social media,this tibit popped on national network news late last night.report claimed slowly rising food processing plants up in flames since 2017,double digits since 2021 to present,haven;t dug into it myself but if true concerning,some issues our media avoids.

I'm beginning to wonder if snopes is part of the conspiracy.   

[Jerkbiat]

Yes, Snopes has been caught being false on a few things. Typical fact checker that lean to the left. As for what snow said guess I have not paid much attention. May have to do some digging. Is concerning if true. That being said. That is what is part of the great reset.

More chatter on news last night regarding these plants going up in flames always at night,4 processing plants last month alone,coincidental?

Dotch,

If true,your thought's....

My neighbors in SoDak talked about our food source and row crops as more and more independant farmers are bailing as corperate farming is taking over.

They claim the expense to farm is overwhelming starting with ferterlizer,pretty sure you touched on this awhile back.

example;
Anhydrous ammonia was $625 a ton a year ago and now it's $1700 a ton. Makes me wonder what a loaf of bread will cost this fall or a box of corn flakes as wheat and corn require significant fertilizer inputs. Soybean crackers anyone? Yikes!! That sounds a bit too much like soylent green crackers for my liking.

Haven't followed the processing plants thing enough to know if there's a trend but they're always fire prone when there's a boiler and a lot of electricity being used. Grain elevators & feed mills are no different. That dust takes one little spark, a bearing getting hot or someone lighting a cigarette and woof! Up they go. The elevator in town burned down in '77 due to a boiler explosion. They rebuilt it and just a few years ago they had another explosion (dust related) that fortunately was quickly contained or it might've happened again.

Yes, fertilizer is expensive right now due to several factors. As rapidly as it went up, it can come back down just as rapidly if demand isn't there and there becomes a glut on the market. Some are going to find out quickly that a lot of the P & K fertilizer dealers have been talking them into doesn't necessarily translate into higher yields short term when their soil test levels are already high to very high. With pressure on the markets due to the war in Ukraine & lower than expected yields elsewhere, food prices will remain high due to short supply and strong demand. If the conflict in Ukraine suddenly were to end, it could send markets tumbling in a hurry or at least to the point where money could be lost if crops were not contracted at higher prices earlier. Commodity prices are high but with input costs also high we're just playing with bigger numbers on both sides of the ledger.

This story reminds me of the "Summer of the Shark" when in 2001 the news media went nuts reporting on every shark attack that happened worldwide.

The news media kept asking why all these attacks were suddenly happening despite there being no evidence to suggest that there was any increase in incidents. 

Most of the media is a bunch of ditto-heads who just repeat what the other outlets report and hardly anyone is doing any legit journalism on their own.  And those that do, don't publish stories unless they fit their agenda.
