Farms are being shut down after PFAS (“the forever chemical”) contamination from Biosludge.

I don’t know how anyone ever thought it was a good idea, but indeed, now that many “organic” farms have tossed urban wastewater full of chemicals on their farmland for a few years, suddenly the government notices it is poisonous, starts declaring these farms toxic, and shutting them down.

Maine alone has shut down over 700 farms contaminated -- and it is NOT limited to this state.

It also affects neighboring farms for miles. This is just the latest avenue to shut down farms.

Farmers face ruin in America’s ‘forever chemicals’ crisis

Maine’s disaster from PFAS-contaminated produce is causing farms to close and farmers to face the loss of their livelihoods

Sludge is a by-product of the wastewater treatment process that’s a mix of human excrement and any number of more than 90,000 human-made chemicals or substances discharged from industry’s pipes. “It’s a toxic soup,” said Laura Orlando, a Boston University civil engineer who studies sludge contamination.

Additionally, PFAS can spread. Ironwood Farm, about six miles from Songbird, tested its water and found high levels suspected to have migrated from a neighbors’ sludge-packed field.

Citric acid shortages - largest US producer already sold out for 2022.

Goes without saying citric acid is used not just for fertilizers but innumerable food products:

BIDEN: “Food shortages - it’s going to be real,” Biden said at a news conference in Brussels. “The price of the sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia. It’s imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well.”

Now it is announced by POTUS. Some number of people may rush to the store — how will that affect product availability? How will retailers react?

This can only lead to rationing.

The next leg of the agenda is moving forward.

Plant those victory gardens.

Montana Dept. of Agriculture advises people to use caution when planting seeds!

This is the continuation of the “gardens and seeds are dangerous” idea that began with the “Chinese mystery seeds” psyop (and "poisonous courgettes” trend): Amazon banned international seed sales, and I’d said in my report (“MYSTERY SEEDS: Chinese Bioterrorism, or False Flag to Control Seeds?") “Just watch — soon it will be illegal to plant anything but seeds from certain LICENSED companies.”

And now, less than two years later:
“MISSOULA, Mont. — Montana Department of Agriculture officials urge people to make sure seeds and plant materials are sourced from licensed dealers and nurseries.”

— This is a dangerous attempt to rewrite reality so that “seed saving” and heirloom varieties become “dangerous,” and ultimately, illegal. No one in their right mind would believe this, but then, most people are not in their right mind…

UK: Brit shoppers 'face fruit, veg and cheese shortages' after P&O ferry cancellations

Brits could face shortages in supermarkets with vegetables, fruit, cheese and wine among products not arriving after P&O suddenly cancelled services. After the firm axed 800 of its staff fresh fears have emerged that thousands of sheep may also have to be slaughtered.

Edward Adamson, a sheep farmer from County Antrim in Northern Ireland, said he may have to kill some sheep if the ferry crisis continues.

"There is no route to the UK mainland for us otherwise. We produce more animals than we need you see and we can't just keep them," he said, reported The Sun.

Germany: Gas and diesel could soon be rationed

German authorities are preparing the economy for possible energy rationing. “Numerous companies have contacted us because they have received letters from their gas suppliers telling them that their energy supplies may be rationed or shut down in the future. The measures are being taken against the background of the Ukraine war.

A scenario that was considered unthinkable just a few weeks ago could become reality: that German companies can no longer produce because the authorities are turning off the gas tap.

In addition to gas, diesel is also likely to become scarce soon, and there is a risk of rationing here too. [IAF: consider the impact not just on trucking/supply chain, but on farm equipment/food production].

Bread & circuses keep the masses asleep...and they are taking away the bread!

As Biden announces food shortages are coming -- prompting many to go stock up, and likely necessitating food rationing -- two massive attacks are being perpetrated against our food supply:

- a "bird flu" epidemic is sweeping Europe and the US, again fueled by PCR tests, forcing mass depopulation of poultry & "backyard flocks."

- farms contaminated with PFAS are being shut down as it is finally revealed that the "Biosludge" applied to farms (including organic!) was the equivalent of salting the Earth to destroy food production.

In this Ice Age Farmer broadcast, Christian breaks it down and explores what is going to happen next: a great awakening.

Ukraine conflict could spark food riots in poor countries – WTO

Many African nations depend on food supplies from the Black Sea region

“The conflict in Ukraine and sanctions against Russia from Western countries are driving up global food prices, as Black Sea ports used to export grain remain blocked. The situation could lead to hunger and food rioting in poor countries, where food security depends on imports, the head of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala told the Guardian on Thursday.

“I think we should be very worried. The impact on food prices and hunger this year and next could be substantial. Food and energy are the two biggest items in the consumption baskets of poor people all over the world,” Okonjo-Iweala said, adding that “it is poor countries and poor people within poor countries that will suffer the most.”

Okonjo-Iweala specified that Russia and Ukraine provide 24% of global supplies of wheat, noting that food imports from the Black Sea region were crucial for survival for 35 African countries.

Maine potato growers expecting hit after Belfast fire



Latest example of spontaneous combustion of our food supply: see #fire tag:

The large fire at a potato processing plant in Belfast is expected to have ripple effects across Maine’s agriculture industry.

The Penobscot McCrum plant processed Maine-grown spuds into products sold around the country.

A fire tore through the building Thursday morning, destroying the facility and leaving the 138 people who work there without a job.

Don Flannery, executive director of the Maine Potato Board, said the loss of the plant will have a negative impact on the state’s potato growers. “There are producers across the state who have contracts with the plant who may need to make adjustments to their 2022 growing plans after the fire.

“We are at the onset of a global famine of historic proportions. In a staggering defiance of logic, many US politicians are still attacking the lifeblood of our own energy production infrastructure, looking to score political points against “the other team,” blaming price-taking producers of global commodities for gouging, threatening producers of energy with windfall profits taxes, resisting calls to remove bureaucratic hurdles to new production, and refusing to open an introductory physics textbook to help guide them through the suite of policy choices that require true leadership to get right. They remain stuck in an endless loop of platitudes, blamestorming, corruption, and ignorance.

Unprecedented cold spell in Cyprus destroys potato crop:

Potatoes fall victim to war and weather

“A frost wave in March is unprecedented.”

It has also proved deadly.
“Approximately 70 per cent of aggregate potato production in Cyprus has been destroyed and the crop left relatively intact is of subpar quality,” he said.

BEIJING, March 25 (Reuters) - China’s pig farmers, suffering record losses due to surging feed costs and weak hog demand, are switching to lower quality grain from pricier soymeal and even selling off assets in a bid for survival.

The pain across the world’s largest hog market, however, could last until next year, said analysts, shrinking incomes across China’s rural economy and likely reducing imports of soybeans and meat by the world’s top buyer for a second year.

Arkansas joins Georgia in “bird flu” emergency. Note exemption based on faulty PCR test, which forces people to test their birds, ensuring the “outbreak” will continue to grow via false positives.

ie They are now using the COVID “testdemic” script to destroy animal agriculture. Heavens to Betsy, man.

“Under the emergency rule, it is prohibited to exhibit poultry and domestic waterfowl or move poultry or domestic waterfowl from or within an affected area.

“Poultry and waterfowl cannot be sold, bartered, traded, auctioned, or given away at fairs, swap meets, auctions, flea markets, and similar events and locations within an affected area.

“Poultry with commuter agreements or premovement avian influenza testing by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or antigen capture are exempt from this provision.”

Sri Lanka: Chicken feed shortage drags down eggs production by 40%, stops small farms:

___
The poultry industry is yet again faced with a shortage of chicken feed which has affected the availability of eggs in the local market.

According to the All Island Poultry Association (AIPA), egg production has contracted by about 40 percent.

Due to the increased cost of feed, the MAJORITY of small-scale farms have halted operations, AIPA President Ajith Gunasekera told Mirror Business.

South Europe fears livestock culls as Ukraine conflict prompts feed shortage

Ukraine is a major global supplier of animal feed, stocks of which are falling fast across import-reliant southern Europe. With Hungary, Serbia and Moldova also banning exports as they safeguard their own supplies, costs for farms like Ferrari's have spiked, threatening their future. Many face culling animals if the situation doesn't improve quickly.

"I hear growing reports of farmers slaughtering their animals, but I want to avoid that," said Elisabetta Quaini, who keeps 1,300 cows for beef and milk production on her farm in Lombardy, northern Italy. "I'm determined to keep going, but I am very worried."

"It's not just corn, it's also soya and numerous by-products that are hard to find. There is a tremendous fight to get hold of what is available."

Michele Liverini, vice-president of livestock feed producer Mangimi Liverini S.p.A., said if dairy cows were slaughtered it would take seven to eight years to build up a barn to produce milk again.
