The Importance of California to Food Supply

,

From WisdomAnswer:

Is California the breadbasket of America?

California has often been referred to as the breadbasket of the world. Interestingly, California only possesses 4% of the total U.S. farms, but supplies the nation with the most agriculture products. California is the leading dairy state in the United States and is the leading producer of dairy products.

Where is the bread basket of California?

San Joaquin Valley. Additionally, the San Joaquin Valley in California has also been called the breadbasket of the world. The San Joaquin Valley produces the majority of the 12.8% of the United States’ agricultural production (as measured by dollar value) that comes from California.

Moral of the story: Bad for California = Bad for the United States

Last Middle East oil shipment reaches Southern California

,

From ABC 7 Los Angeles

Excerpt:

Gas prices are at a four-year high and experts are warning they could climb even higher.

The final oil tanker from the Middle East has docked in Long Beach, putting the region's supply chain under pressure. According to a report from the Los Angeles Times, it's the last shipment from the Strait of Hormuz to reach California.

After that tanker leaves, it could be weeks or potentially months before the next one arrives from the Middle East.

"The war in Iran and the closing of the Strait of Hormuz has actually been buffered by the fact that all of these tankers were at sea at the time that the Strait of Hormuz closed," said UCLA Professor Michael Ross. "So all of that supply has still been making its way to consumers. This is the last shipment of that supply that was keeping prices relatively stable."

70 Percent Of U.S. Farmers Say...

…That They Will Not Be Able To Purchase All The Fertilizer They Need In 2026

Excerpt:

“We might want to listen to what the farmers are telling us, because if they don’t grow our food we do not eat. Coming into this year, we were already facing the worst farming crisis in America in at least 50 years. Farmers all over the nation are drowning in debt, and farm bankruptcies have been soaring. In all my years, I have never seen America’s farmers so angry, and now the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz has made things much worse. Spring planting season is here and there is a global scramble for whatever supplies of nitrogen fertilizer that happen to be available. As a result, prices have skyrocketed and farmers all over the planet are facing some incredibly tough choices.

That is even true here in the United States.

According to a brand new survey that was just conducted by the American Farm Bureau Federation, 70 percent of U.S. farmers say that they will not be able to purchase all of the fertilizer that they need in 2026 because it has become so expensive.”

…As Farmers Begin Spring Planting

From one of our recommended resources, Zero Hedge. Honest, alternative media. Excerpt:

“The southern US is already experiencing severe, extreme, and even exceptional drought conditions, putting pressure on key crops such as sugarcane, rice, and peanuts, while fruit trees have also been damaged by extreme temperatures. Across the Great Plains, otherwise known as the nation’s breadbasket, winter wheat farmers are being forced to decide whether to keep the struggling crop or cut losses and replant, with dry soil also making germination harder. The drought also complicates matters for ranchers, as the nation's cattle herd is already at its lowest level since the 1950s. As a result, some ranches may further reduce their herds, which will only push beef prices to new record highs…All bad news for food prices.”

Stock up on food now, while supply is still good and the prices are still (relatively) affordable. Buying in bulk can save you tons of money. Don’t forget to stock up on water too.

What is happening to the world? Is a great chastisement upon us? Is is pay-up time for our many sins?
