$4.59 for supreme in Kaneohe yesterday.
We will all see $5 gas in the next year.
BTW: If you need PVC, get it now. I was at the hardware store and the good guy there told me there was a shortage, manufacturers are saying they don't have the right petro to make it.
Drought West of the Mississippi............ plan accordingly, take advantage of the situation
Drought is bad this year, probably as bad as I've seen in my lifetime. Known results at this time.
Hay production is extremely low.
General crop failure of Spring Wheat.
2nd & 3rd Order Affects
No hay means people will have to sell their cattle because they can't winter them over. The sale price of feeder beef and all beef will be low because feed lots won't be able to feed and fatten them at a profit. With few feeder beef in the supply chain retail beef prices will start to skyrocket in Calendar year 2022.
Spring wheat's primary use is bread and pastry flour. Supplies will dry up by Fall most likely. Bread prices are going up. This will cause the price of all wheat to go up, impacting all wheat based product. In fact, all grain prices are going up.
How to react
Plan to fill a freezer this Fall with beef. Find a local butcher, find a local source for Beef if you can. Buy the beef and get it in the freezer this Fall.
Buy Flour now at a minimum. Plus other wheat based products that you use, pasta, etc.
This is not for Doomsday Prepper reasons, it's an investment in stocks that you know you will use and that will go up in price. Spend some now while its cheap, save your wallet.
Possible political reaction
The Biden Admin started this Supply Chain panel, which allows them to redirect supplies to the most needed areas. History shows Commies love to take supplies from rural areas by force of government to feed their souless minions in the cities. The structures are in place to do that in the US. And this doesn't just mean rural hickville like I live in. If you are in the a Red State city, they will put the hurt on you.
