State collapse is inevitable when a society’s leaders are insulated from the negative consequences of their bad decisions.

The United States produces much more wheat then it consumes. Close to 50%. This is a staple, and producers should be encouraged to preserve affordable prices for our country and let the European nations pay for the shortage they seem to be experiencing. How to do this? Well, you either have government forces or market forces. I suggest significant tax exemptions for the farmers and producers that sell wheat and wheat products where the end consumers are Americans. The government can make it up on essentially reverse-tariffs for products that are exported. The only reason I hate this idea is because it involves the government, but perhaps a proper function of the United States government is to protect the American people… IDK.
Same thing for corn, although we consume a good deal more of the corn we produce than wheat, but we are still a net exporter. Perhaps, as soon as we are able to increase our own oil refining capability, more of our own oil will be used for OUR country, and our dependence on ethanol for fuel, which accounts for 43% of our corn production, will go down. Perhaps we could consider repealing the EPA’s Renewable Fuel Standard, the RSF Mandate, which would reduce the demand for ethanol, and thus reduce the price that farmers charge.
Basically up-regulate exports and down-regulate domestic products that are produced by Americans FOR Americans.
Good report of wheat before Epstein’s Fury War affected American Farmers.
Federal reports differ now that increased fuel costs and loss of fertilizer came into play.
SNIP The reduced production has tightened U.S. wheat supplies, with ending stocks projected at 762 million bushels, down from 935 million bushels in 2025/26
. Exports are also expected to fall to 775 million bushels, compared to 910 million bushels last year
. These supply constraints have already influenced commodity markets, with wheat futures rising sharply in response to the USDA’s projections
Farmers being rational saw reduced fertilizer and increased fuels costs as a problem reduced plantings and abandoned some this year.
Soybeans went up a bit as they don’t use as much fertilizer input.
SNIP For the marketing year 2026/27, U.S. soybean production is forecast at 4.52 billion bushels, a record high for the season
USDA ERS
. This figure comes from USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, which raised the production estimate by 44 million bushels from last month’s forecast due to higher planted acreage — now 85.8 million acres — primarily in the Delta and Central Plains regions
If we get away with less than across the board food cost increase of 20% over the next 12 months, I’ll be really surprised.

Seems the gov.com’s “management by favorable taxes and ethanol payments” kind of created this mess.
I SHUDDER at what the CONgress Whores will get bribed to “Favor” as other nations want FOOD and energy also.
After all, didn’t Trump tell the whole world “Need OIL? We have Plenty” and thus our strategic oil supply was sold off at LESS than Market prices.
Not sure the gov.com is in the business of protecting American people.
The food on the shelves RIGHT NOW is mostly last year’s production.
I’d suggest you invest in a deep shelf stable larder for your family and those trusted friends that are less able to do so.
A sweet Grandmother whose grandkids are crying that “I’M HUNGRY” can become a threat and History shows clearly that Commies LOVE to offer food rewards for information and betrayal.
