Hold on to your hats boys, uncle Joe is just getting started.
Farmers Paying Triple for Fertilizer: We're Not the Ones Raising Food Costs
Death penalty number is in for the Anti American Democrat party,,,,, 9.1% let that sink in - 9.1%, Wall Street was expecting 8.8% CPI-
Everything cost more, eggs, cheese, gas. The very people Democrats have been lying to for years are the hardest hit -lower/ middle class.
November is going to be about cleansing the party completely. My only hope is that they will start acting like a party that gives a heck about
this Country- I don't doubt we are heading towards a recession. We are looking at possibly a full 100 basis point hike by feds. That's going to cause pain.
It’s transitory. And even if it isn’t, it’s all Putin’s price hike that is causing it. And Trump. Never forget Trump’s economy and how bad all that cheap gas and groceries was for the environment. Joe’s doing all he can to fix these messes he inherited. He’s even on his way to beg the House of Saud to pump more gas like he did with the mullahs and the Venezuelans. You know anything would be better than American oil.
The average American does NOT understand this.Imagine going into your manger tomorrow and he says sorry, we are not giving you a raise this year, but are giving you a 10% pay cut.
Talked to a hay dealer last weekend. He paid for this year's and next year's fertilizer last spring. The place where he buys his fertilizer tried to buy it back for double what he paid. He's afraid they may go out of business, he's contemplating taking the offer if they counter with any more.Hold on to your hats boys, uncle Joe is just getting started.

The other issue this year has been the heat. We had some rain here but it's been dry. The dealer I talked to has hay fields in Horse Cave KY. We're in southern mid TN about 40 minutes from the Alabama line, that's how far his don't is. Hay is going to be harder to come by and almost twice as much at this moment. I've put 50 bales of good quality hay up for the winter so far. Would like at least 80 more for the goats but at $8 a bale for good quality I may have to wait a few weeks.It’s a real problem we are headed towards. Feed corn is almost to the point of being too expensive for its use, more and more farmers will pull back to hay but it has its limits as a source of food because quality hay is usually used by the original farmer not sold as feed compared to corn. Feed corn requires an astronomical amount of fertilizer, and glyphosate which is also expensive, due to its rapid growth and relatively quick maturity. Winter wheat and hay don’t provide the same caloric value which means leaner cows and reduced supply if it is more relied on as the main source of food for cattle. Winter wheat uses about 1/3 the fertilizer corn requires
Look for a new record in farm bankruptcies.
