I have noticed some things though. The last few years the high dollar purchases have decreased for them. Why this year their children are running around on last years four wheelers that is a change and no new truck this year or tractor either.<br /><br />Things are balancing out it's just taking a while.<br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-69942641452564955752013-08-31T11:28:56.201-04:002013-08-31T11:28:56.201-04:00Sandy - No they won't.

I guess they do have an advantage of knowing what it would take without those and how nature is suppose to work but it will be a shock to their system.<br /> PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-8850470764423874322013-08-31T11:27:00.803-04:002013-08-31T11:27:00.803-04:00Rob - Well the price of oil will mean higher produ...Rob - Well the price of oil will mean higher produce prices regardless. Once the big ag subsidies are gone then real food prices would appear. There are many reasons why Americans pay much less for food than the rest of the world.<br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-43884088713740018522013-08-31T11:25:28.535-04:002013-08-31T11:25:28.535-04:00Ya nothing is free, these days it's just passi...Ya nothing is free, these days it's just passing the buck.

Well great, seems cheap, but in the end, the idiot's taxes are paying for Medicaid for these turds, WIC, food stamps.<br /><br />Cheap is expensive in the long haul<br /><br />White Mom in VALorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11446701266329126021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-5074901940075833232013-08-31T00:27:26.694-04:002013-08-31T00:27:26.694-04:00The CEO of the company I worked for had a brother ...The CEO of the company I worked for had a brother who is a big agro-business guy. His primary concern is harvesting government subsidies, and he's become very rich doing it.

I believe those who have been prepping will know how to get things moving to help themselves. As for the every day person who relies on the grocery store or restaurants to provide everything to feed their families they won't have a clue on how to plant or provide.Sandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-87556778140142621902013-08-30T19:17:22.735-04:002013-08-30T19:17:22.735-04:00If we go to small scale farming won't that mak...If we go to small scale farming won't that make food cost more??

They have abandoned plowing, cultivating and rotating crops, it is a sad thing to see. Compacted soil and sorry looking crops. The tax payers are funding this foolishness so really food isn't as cheap as people think. Sunnybrook Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135224259672444423noreply@blogger.com
