I think this is why I have a problem with this subreddit and maybe as a whole the internet. It is true that Kansas is struggling with crop yields but globally crops are actually doing really good. Canada just had record harvests.

Only focusing on the bad really seems not healthy for the mental

This sub is turning into r.collapse. Too much doomer porn.

Its a mostly an American audience and we are getting bombarded with propaganda every day

Who is gonna send us that wheat surplus? We are alienated and intentionally making imports more expensive.

If you have some pleasant long range projections to post that suggest food costs will not rise in the coming year, please go ahead and post the link.

Hope you like beans!

To be fair, I hope we ALL like beans

ripndipp@reddit

You bet! With a side of sour cream

Same here. I can’t bake bread to save my soul and tortillas are pretty easy to make.

I'm already seeing mass market sourdough loafs go for nearly $8 at Ralphs, can't wait to see what it reaches this year

It’s not really comparable, I know, but I walked through one of those arts and crafts fairs the other day, and was stunned to see a woman (attempting to sell) loaves of sourdough for $45. Not sure if she actually managed to, and I didn’t ask her about it because I just assumed she was crazy.

One of my dad’s favorite jokes is about the kid running a roadside fruit stand with a sign saying “apples $1M each” and when someone stops to ask him about why he’s priced it like that, he replies “well… I’ve only gotta sell one”

That $45 would likely cover half, if not the entirety, of hee booth rental fee

😱

Maybe the bakery outlet near me will end up having more available, which might be nice.

Of course, I say that and we also have a sourdough starter which began in my son's 30th birthday several weeks back, lol

[-]

puritanicalbullshit@reddit

Yeah I was just thinking it’s time to dedicate some freezer space to flour and get a starter started pronto

[-]

onthestickagain@reddit

I don’t know why I have such a mental block on getting a starter going. I’m well stocked on flour (lord I love having a “beer fridge” for overflow of flour and butter), but I’ve been putting off learning how to sourdough.

I’m betting $12 by the end of summer

Barrack64@reddit

So, buy a bread maker. Got it.

snarktologist@reddit

what good does that do if there's no wheat?

[-]

dalek_999@reddit

Well…now would be the time to stock up on it.

johnb1972@reddit

This is how they justify price increases.. less work more profits

We're going to see a "greater depression" aren't we?

Nobody's ever seen anything like it!

MrBrawn@reddit

Well he is right. I am more depressed than I have been in a while.

IndyDoggy@reddit

If only we had good relations with a northern neighbor that had a significant surplus of wheat of over 6Mt.

Have an uncle who is a lifelong wheat farmer. Told me last year they had an 80 degree temp swing within a 24 hour time period. Thats bot normal let alone healthy for growing crops. Add in skyrocketing fertilizer costs and its not a good year to be a farmer.
