Midwest Flooding Effects Will Be Felt for a Generation Beginning with Astronomical Food Prices As Well As Food Shortages

Grain bins are gone. Seeds are washed away. Runaway prices for food is right around the corner as well as extreme food shortages both in the United States and around the world.

And Feinswine’s husband will make a fortune when the farmers lose their land to foreclosures and distress prices. Who will own the land, and half the country?

Due to our advanced age and various illnesses we need to stock up on non-GMO (organic if possible) staples (sprouting seeds for fresh greens, beans, brown rice, grains, etc) now before prices go up. We are working on water filtering (and distillation?) since we live in a boat. We'll only be waterless if all the oceans dry up. (That's predicted in the Bible) If power is not available we want to be ready with a home made solar oven (plenty of directions on the internet). We are also looking at other locations to live: Hawaii? Malaysia? (too close to China) South America (very small country that has lots of personally-owned guns--please don't let the cat out of the bag).

True-!!! 1st Alliance - in relience - is Christ + Him crucified for you + resurrected to receive your spirit when releasedfrom your mortal Earthly soul- for this universe "will burn with a fervent heat" to entomb the evil one + his hordes of fallen which will include you if have no "ticket" to the New Heaven + New Earth in another dimension which He promised to have for you if Reedemed + trusting in His payment of His own perfect Blood for your sins. Guns- food- gold etc et ain't gonna help you if not spiritually prepared once mortality ends for you. For apacolyptic events Dave speaks of those things needed to preserve life while being a good steward in all things esp providing for family + helping others. Having trusted like minded folks around close to coalesce with in times of trouble will allow those groupings to "ride-out" the storms to better protect + help others also= by having extra as well as heirtloom seeds + established well composted garden areas for serious food production. A simple homemades solar food dehydrator system will be wise as eventually all electricicity will end- even fuel for generators- means wood stoves[w/removable tin oventop]= pressure canners + loads of jars w/reuseable lids. DRY BREANS + RICE tho are cheap-esp in quantities[+can be sprouted adding nutrition] or planted yielding a 100fold[esp taters w/root cellar or fascimily]. Having extra tradable goods + services are bettertextragold= you can't eat gold but people will learn of + kill you for it. Mefical supplies w/training on how to use them also essential + courses sre offered locally + online.

It's not around the corner, it's already here for some produce. I was grocery shopping yesterday with celery on my list, among other things. I never saw it over $1.59, but yesterday one store had it for $2.99, and the next one I went to had it for $3.99, and both stores are normally inexpensive for quality produce because they carry a big variety in abundant quantities. Aldi (a discounted grocer chain with limited items) had it at 1.49, but that probably won't last long, either. Aldi even put a limit on how many cans of vegetables one can buy, for some items, and I hadn't seen that before. I hadn't planned on stocking up, but with the floods in mind and how that'll shorten the growing season, I bought probably another 3 weeks' worth for relatively cheap, in addition to "preparing with Dave".

I believe that’s a little over reaction to this situation. Yes it is tragic when this happens but the water will go downj just as fast as it came up . The land is still farmable a farmer may have too put in a 95 day corn vs a 120 day corn (change the game plan) . We deal with flooding on this farm every year. As farmers we should all have plans in place for events like this. After all God is in control and no one can change that.
