I wonder how farmers fertilized the ground before chemicals came along? How did they deal with pests before chemicals came along? I know there are a couple of farmers on ATS buy I'll still call them out.
Farmers use any and all excuses to up their prices from "the grounds too hard and the crops haven't done so well" to " the grounds too wet to get the crop in" to "we don't have the manpower to reap the crops".
Now come on farmers with your "but the wholesalers dictate the price" to " transport costs have risen" to "labour costs have risen". There have been too many farmers (especially large farms) reliant on chemicals and now they can't get them the price has to rise because "but with chemicals we get a higher yield and if we don't use them it would not be viable to farm".
Just how did farmers make a living before chemicals? Very, very hard.

The news is making it around that the wheat supply is disrupted globally. Its being blamed on the Ukraine hoax, but its really manufactured.
The food crisis is here. The EU’s agricultural ministers held an emergency meeting and are set to activate a “Food Crisis Contingency Mechanism” in anticipation of the shortages resulting from the blocked 40% of global wheat exports that are no longer flowing from Ukraine/Russia.
S. Korea’s animal feed producers are preparing to declare force majeur, unable to produce feed without the 300,000 metric tons they’d expected from Ukraine now stuck in the Black Sea.
