Is it predicted there will be food shortages in the US? Just wondering.I am hearing and seeing warnings about potential food shortages due to the war in Ukraine. The president even read something about it from his teleprompter. Google or Duck food shortages and you will see hundreds of articles talking about how the bad is going to get worse. This is a foreseeable crisis. What are we doing about it?
Now Google or duck duck food shortage bio fuels; food shortage ethanol. Crickets currently. A few food shortage articles from the late 2000s forecasting increased prices and shortages. Why is this?
What would Putin do tomorrow if Biden announced American farmers would begin transitioning away from bio fuels to wheat and food with massive public investment to "warp speed" this transition? We could totally negate ANY reliance on Russian wheat. Add a focus on American energy independence to become a net positive exporter of oil energy also at "warp speed" ? What leverage would Putin have?
Remove the regulations and subsidies propping up the production of ethanol and subsidize transition back to food. It is unconscionable that we are burning food...... common sense.
Ethanol has become the third rail amongst the political class. This crisis should be a wake up call. ( Even Trump is for Ethanol)
Why do you think your grocery bill is exploding, Mycroft?Is it predicted there will be food shortages in the US? Just wondering.
Biden's gas prices.Why do you think your grocery bill is exploding, Mycroft?

That's not because of a shortage. It's because of inflation.Why do you think your grocery bill is exploding, Mycroft?
Actually, US food production is noticeably down in some major production areas due long term (climate change) drought, and that is contributing to inflation. I guess they don't cover that on Newsmax or Fox etc,?That's not because of a shortage. It's because of inflation.

Not just dumb.....unconscionable.Biofuel is dumb.
For one thing, making one gallon of fuel from corn produces 50 gallons of high-alkaline water, and making 1 gallon of fuel requires the use a total of about 4000 gallons of water, all told.
No. You are wrong. Do some research on what is happening to food production in major multi year drought impacted areas in the west. Your problem is that you are so politically bigoted that you've lost your ability to recognise reality.Wrong.
US food production is down because of inflation affecting the production - processing - distribution - retail system. That inflation is primarily driven by increasing energy prices.
It all rolls downhill.
You can thank the puppet in the WH for that.
Easy big boy. Corn is used because of the agricultural lobby in America, and guess what? It is one of the least efficient ways to make biofuel. Hemp and switchgrass don't need fertilizer tilling or much of anything really. Have farmers start using their fallow fields with these and biofuel is a whole different animal.Biofuel is dumb.

go to your favorite conservative "blog" and they will give you the "truth."Is it predicted there will be food shortages in the US? Just wondering.
Yeah, from the "right-wingers" at The Hill quoting the POTUS....go to your favorite conservative "blog" and they will give you the "truth."
Why should I? It's the OP's claim. It's what he's been "hearing and seeing".go to your favorite conservative "blog" and they will give you the "truth."
Wrong, inflation isn’t the only reason. Part of it is climate (all president are to blame). Part of it is the decades long practice of paying farmers not only grow (all presidents to blame). And that trade war with China that hurt US agriculture (that one is on Trump).Wrong.

I heard from Biden's own mouth as he read of the teleprompter. What is he going to do about it. Be empathetic?Why should I? It's the OP's claim. It's what he's been "hearing and seeing".

Biden warns of ‘real’ food shortage risk over Russia’s invasion into Ukraine
by Alex Gangitano - 03/24/22 6:03 PM ET
President Biden warned Thursday that there could be global food shortages resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine and announced steps to prevent a potential crisis.
“We did talk about food shortages. And it’s going to be real. The price of these 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,” Biden said at a press conference from Brussels, where he is meeting with NATO leaders. '
Not from you, from madman, the one who snarked...Not sure that a reply was warranted.
Seems like we agree that there are signs of food shortages and that nothing is being done.
go to your favorite conservative "blog" and they will give you the "truth."
of course "nothing is being done" This is the mind set of a conservative when a democrat is in the WHNot sure that a reply was warranted.
