Thanks to several factors, Biden being a big one, the US will soon face massive food shortages. This will only further inflate the cost of living and could spell the end for the working middle class as the country steers closer to poverty. Some things impacting the food supply change are fuel, foreign fertilizers, and imports.
Famers were already struggling from to meet demands during the pandemic. This will hit the country hard and it doesn’t look like Biden has a plan in place to help soften the blow. I say that because even he admitted that food shortages are coming, “It’s going to be real”, he said in a presser last week.
The instability leaves many U.S. farmers, particularly those in the drought-stricken West, scrambling as costs soar for fuel, fertilizer and other key agricultural components.
Farmers in states that produce spring wheat such as North Dakota, Minnesota and Montana are faced with a tough decision: Should they plant more crop not knowing whether prices will hold up?

“With regard to food shortage, yes, we did talk about food shortages. And — 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. And — because both Russia and Ukraine have been the breadbasket of Europe in terms of wheat, for example — just to give you one example.
But we had a long discussion in the G7 with the — with both the United States, which has a significant — the third-largest producer of wheat in the world — as well as Canada, which is also a major, major producer. And we both talked about how we could increase and disseminate more rapidly food. Food shortages.
And in addition to that, we talked about urging all the European countries and everyone else to end trade restrictions on — on sending — limitations on sending food abroad. And so, we are in the process of working out, with our European friends, what it would be — what it would take to help alleviate the concerns relative to food shortages. “
