looks like I picked a good year to raise a few ducks for family egg consumption.
unless the Man decides to violate my property line and off the little feathery protein factories as potential health hazards, we'll have enough eggs to give some away or trade.
good year to have preemptively bought bulk grain, too.
the normals don't understand the desire to be prepared as much as possible for self sufficiency, I don't understand their point of view trusting the System to remain a reliable supplier of /anything/ (except tyranny and propaganda, which the Man never seems to run out of.)
Here's the USDA's APHIS page showing number of birds on confirmed infected premises. Breakdown by state and flock size. The number is past 35 million now in 29 affected states. 247 flocks confirmed to have some degree of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in them.
The EPA is deciding by June 1st, on allowing the 15% ethanol gas blend to be sold all year.
The 15% mix, known as E15 gasoline, is usually banned for sale from June 1 to September 15, peak travel months, because it is more volatile in the heat. It is, generally ten cents or so cheaper per gallon, but has less energy and therefore less efficiency and lower MPG. It is also only safe for cars built after 2001, which is 90% of the vehicles on the road.
If Xiden gets them to approve this, it may put more pressure on corn markets if it finds more widespread use nationwide. It is, of course, terrible for small engines and I usually keep some 100 octane aviation gas available to run through the motors after use.
It would not take much to cut the internet off in a lot of the USA, in the middle of the night, no one noticing. If it did happen in some areas, I would suspect insider sabotage to cut off communications to a region. Since late 2020, I've become pretty wary any time we have no service for more than a few minutes. We do have a backup plan, but it makes me wish I was a radio hobbyist.
I have not seen you mention pharmaceuticals in this series. I may have overlooked it, for sure. Since it has come to be revealed that much of the medicine the West uses is manufactured in the Far East, do those who depend on antimicrobials, antiarrhythmics, anti-inflammatory drugs and others which can sustain and improve quality of life chronically need to be securing access or stocking up, if they can?
I have covered it twice. 90% of API (Active Pharmaceuticals Ingredients, the material to make the drugs) comes from India. I would stock 90 days of anything you need, to be safe, specially with the next supply shock. You can also buy antibiotics from overseas, it is not illegal, just don't buy a ton so it don't get confiscated.
Aqui faz 2 meses que ta chovendo acima da media. Lembro bem, chuva voltou quando semei, um dia antes da Russia invadir ukraina. Meu feijão ta, por enquanto, seguro.
Vou precisar de uma secada, não agora, mas daqui a 60 dias, pra não ter que gastar pra secar o grão.
Plantio do milho antecipou 6 semanas o inicio da seca - ficou ruim para quem plantou, q não tem irrigação, rara aqui. Depois ficou demais tarde. Pra soja tb. O milho virá em novembro depois da safra do cultivo de inverno. Duas safras por ano aqui claro.
Feijão no Sul & Sudeste, não sabem cozinar- horrivel mesmo. Mas mantém vivo.
Só como feijão preparado por Baianos de Minas & tenho certeza que coentro funciona /COVID (haha, mas checa se não tem plausabilidade nisso).
Wouldn't say coming apart, just changing at alarming speed. Just takes more time for the good to come out of moments like this, it is always in retrospect that we find X event brought good changes.
Nice to hear someone feels positive about it! I try to remember you pointing out that Chaos is a ladder when I get stressed… unfortunately I’m not the entrepreneurs type
You don't need to be the entrepreneur type, just being aware of all the dynamics is enough to not get caught by surprise. If you analyze from certain perspectives (without much data to prove it) the elites are kinda digging a deep hole for themselves.
The Iowa workers are expendable because they are slave labor from the south, and their living expenses are paid for by US taxpayers anyway. They will just send them to another plant somewhere else. Democrats have no problem with slavery....still...
They are not reallocating production at this time. Reason I mentioned and wrote about it. That will impact egg prices, and production for months to come.
The better list of links is unfortunately buried somewhere in my email folder of myriad substack subscriptions, and I don't recall which writer posted it.
on the quick I found these two articles, the second is more obliquely related and a bit outdated.
Crews tackle 'ferocious' fire at Harlow sausage factory
I was the one who posted the Sausage factory, I also referred to the meat processing one early in this Substack. If you use google news and search for cyber-attacks you will be surprised, there were so many.

Do you have a website?

Abraços.
Aqui onde moro choveu nada faz tempo, era para estar frio e estamos com calor de verao forte.
Acho que a seca se encontra nos lugares errados. Por que nao escolheu soja ? (Mera curiosidade).
Por que nao escolheu soja: 1) para guardar o feijão /alimentação humana, 2) para botar N2 no solo para cultivo de inverno sem adubação quimica.
Eu as vezes me esqueço que sou um dos poucos que odeia feijão (e além disso tenho alergia a uma enzima na casca do feijão lol).
Eu não sei o que plantaria se eu tivesse terra para tal... milho ?
Plantio do milho antecipou 6 semanas o inicio da seca - ficou ruim para quem plantou, q não tem irrigação, rara aqui. Depois ficou demais tarde. Pra soja tb. O milho virá em novembro depois da safra do cultivo de inverno. Duas safras por ano aqui claro.

Most of us "covid subscribers" are actually interested in all the ways the world is coming apart.
Wouldn't say coming apart, just changing at alarming speed. Just takes more time for the good to come out of moments like this, it is always in retrospect that we find X event brought good changes.

seems related to the many fires, explosions, and plane crashes destroying food production infrastructure, not just in the US.
Not just in the US? Where else is it happening please?
