Crop farmers to see $6 billion in disaster aid ā USDA Beginning later this month, farmers across the nation will receive around $6 billion in disaster relief for losses due to catastrophic weather and wildfires, said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack on Monday. The money, part of $10 billion earmarked for agricultural disasters, would be paid through the new Emergency Relief Program (ERP) to offset lower yields and value losses. americasfarmreport.com/farm-report/crop-farmers-to-see-6-billion-in-disaster-aid-usda-may-17-2022/I understand Bill Gates is the biggest farmland owner in the US. Does he qualify for this relief? He probably wrote the policy and passed the legislation for it. |

Being controlled by global elites is a failure of the nation state. Just about all the examples given above suggest the nation state is so failed that the political system is just a big puppet show. The tech revolution had promise but one thing got in the way. The human reptilian brain.
The internet could have been used to make geniuses of all of us. Instead we chose porn, facefart and online shopping. We still refuse to believe that boys will be boys and that we have emotions that are hard to control. Weāve had PC rammed down our throats as well as other super fringe and minority issues that simply donāt concern most of us. As a result we let the vermin slip in and make their nests of discontent, manipulation, wealth theft and personal attacks.

OK.... Mates... Being as electrical illiterate as I am... I think I could handle a small unit similar to these shown in the videos... This being a battery box, like shown, that you plug in you solar panel to charge the battery.. Also plug in Sweeties smart phone to charge... Or my dumb cell phone... A small lap top, maybe ?? I don't see myself using an inverter, or cigarette plug, so USB, and plug in (?) 12 volt is ample (??) Remember... Keeping it all idiot proof... Does this exist in this simple a form... ?? How about a marine battery box and battery that plugs into an ammo can control unit ?? Get your grey matter working... Come up with something useful you know your old North American shirt tail kin could use... eh.... For instance.... If there is a better place for this post, please move it as needed... Thanks.. Tim that is already in itās most simple form. You could always reverse engineer this to suit your own specs. |

Crypto is as productive as the roulette wheel.
gold would be good for peace of mind and not for making mega bucks. expect to lose money too but not as much as other investment options.

It is a weird war. i saw on msm a few weeks ago that a school was being used to manufacture plate carriers and other kit. It was all roses and love hearts for the ukranians. A week later i saw the ruskis had targeted a school which was probably not the same one and msm conveyed the hatred very well. I was left confused.
I still think if we bleed russia enough we wināt have to worry about that flank once we start to jiggy with China.

Each bank is different and apply strange restrictions on a whim. sealed roads and grid power was not a requirement for my neighbour. My bank restricted me to 50 hectares (120 acres) and enforced this. Solution is to shop around or use a mortgage broker, they can filter the crud loans and conditions.
Farmers apply for business loans and aim to make their money from farming but they pay big interest rates. Not many people can or are willing to do this. Some are unsuccessful due to the high workload and variable income.
My new neighbour paid big $$ for a property and logged it. 3-4 trucks a day were leaving the site for 3 months. each truck had $6k of timber on board. Do the maths on that.

More weirdness for the conspiracy theory guys. Had at least 3 news feeds on the issue. A List Of 16 Major Fires That Have Occurred At Key Food Industry Facilities In The U.S. Since The Start Of 2022
theeconomiccollapseblog.com/a-list-of-16-major-fires-that-have-occurred-at-key-food-industry-facilities-in-the-u-s-since-the-start-of-2022/Can anyone explain why absolutely massive fires just keep erupting again and again at critical facilities all over America? The tragic destruction by fire of the headquarters of Azure Standard in Oregon shocked millions of people, and since that news broke quite a few readers have been reaching out to me about the long string of unusual blazes that we have been witnessing from coast to coast in recent months. 5th column at play? So far i have not heard anything similar hear. Itās not just at food storage facilities either. i read a urea plant went up too. |

Iāve looked at a couple of websites that tell you how much you should store, and they end up at a number something like 1008kg grains in total for 6 adults for a year (based on 14kg/adult/month). There are amounts for other foods, but just looking at this one as an example. When I write out a weekly menu that I feel is somewhat generous, the grains include 1 large loaf bread/day, 5 meals with rice (2 are breakfast), 2 porridge for breakfast, 3 pancakes breakfast, 1 pasta meal, burgers (so extra bread and oats) - I get to a total of about 585kg grains in a year. Even if I add an extra kg or 2 of flour/wheat each week for snacks I only get to about 685kg. There are similar differences in my estimates of legumes and other food types compared to online recommendations. What do you think of the suggestions of various websites for the amounts of food to store? Has anyone else made their own menus to compare? I found similar numbers at a few different sites. That is a really good point to explore further tomatoes. Iād suggest you just use what you have calculated and forget the online experts but i assume they have added a significant safety margin for spoilage, pests etc . Apparently many of those freeze dried buckets of meals in the US are way below what is required for a working person. From what i had read they provide only 25-50% of your calorie needs per āmealā so essentially a starvation ration. They know how to charge you thoughā¦.. The best gauge is your own so why not bunker down for a week or two of eating only prepper meals? Iād like to know your final calcs regardless as they seem pretty on the money so far. |

Japanese encephalitis is impacting pigs in the Riverina and parts of qld. The meat is still edible but the disease causes stillbirths and abnormalities. Production on affected farms is way down, up to 60%.
People can also be affected and so far the death rate is 25%. 3 out of 11 have died. I believe the risk of transmission by mozzies is relatively low. fFeral pigs have been found to be infected in the NT.
Things are definitely feeling squeezy.
Go buy some more rice.

If you store fuel in drums place them on a raised platform off the ground and undercover. Place the bungs at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock. This keeps the bungs and seals wet and stops ingress of air and water due to expansion and contraction. Keep drum filled but not to the brim but not far off. Use one drum at a time and don't be tempted to crack one open to check unless there are issues evident. Drum seals can be used if you have others in your group that may be tempted to open a drum on the sly.
Also use good drums and check their internal linings before and after filling. Use a LED torch instead of a match please.

It is hard work and often quite variable in terms of expected outcomes or production. Meat will be my mainstay. Our crazy wet summer has had an impact on grown food. some things did well while others suffered but my walking meat larders kept on growing.

I am east coast NSW. Have tried a number of times to get what you call MAG or meets going, never been successful, had one meeting only one other family turned up, despite a number committing to be there. The other guys with his wife later the other went dark no longer on the forum.. There are a few members on the forum from your side of the world.... Anyone interested in a NSW meet.. Yep but also depends on location. Iād also like to raise interest in a northern rivers group meet. |

Having the word "SHOCKED" in the title is usually an indicator of clickbait. The whole youtube prepper scene is clickbait now, just cashing in using content that others provide them. itās laughable but people keep flocking back for their daily dose of doom porn. |

I think if poo-tin goes full retard heāll be topped before he can press the button. The Russians can see it, hell they have been stopped in their tracks by Ukraine. The generals are thinking there is no chance against NATO so if it getās too bad surely cooler heads will prevail. butā¦ā¦.
