Don't forget all the poor chickens suffocated because one bird in the flock may have tested positive for AI. That's one reason egg prices are so high.Will get worse as tariffs threaten. Suppliers already increasing & shrinkflation. A majority of our grains import, so flours will get hit, also sugar. Naturally coffee, chocolate, most spices, fruits & a large part of our veggies. Slowly resupply those categories beforehand.
Many of us raise a garden and some livestock. So eggs, meat, milk, cheese, veg & fruits aren't a huge issue if you just think about it.And it's not just tariffs. Major weather systems have destroyed many fruit & nut groves and much farmland is unusable now. Production is down. Supply & demand inflate prices.
It's a time when city folks will be in dire straights with supermarket shopping but, we country bumpkins will still eat like usual.Now is a great time for barter! Pal up with your neighbors & friends.
Love the apron!I was an exhibitor at the local Grange yesterday. We (us two County Fair gals) were invited to the Emergency Self Sufficient Preparedness Fair, to represent what we do in the Canning and Dehydrating portion of the Fair. Other attendees were S.A.R (search and rescue), Red Cross, CRESA (Clark Regional Emergency Services Agency), a cat rescue, an equine rescue, the gas company, our Clark County Utilities company, and more.
At this one, we had the opportunity to expand our presence with some more focus on prepping. (At the fair we cannot - the fair is for education). We had about 40 ppl come up to our display and speak with us.
Here I am and then the vid is what the Superintendent and I set up for attendees.
Looks like firecrackers at the 33 seconds mark.
