Some people had a feeling we were heading down the wrong track for the last several years. Others are just now getting on board by reading survivalist blogs and learning how to prepare for an uncertain future. Some people have started stocking up because they feared job loss, a collapse in the economy or any number of things that they felt could go wrong. I know people who had stocked up on a years worth of food and suddenly found their self without a job. That years worth of food came in handy while they looked for work. They may have not intended for it to be used this way, but by preparing they were ready when it counted. You never know when those supplies you've put back comes in handy.

If you get all your news from the networks, it's likely you haven't heard about the Worldwide food shortage. For one thing, the harvest of wheat around the world is down. In some countries, it's down as much as two thirds! Here in the U.S., our wheat reserves are empty! Furthermore, this Springs wheat harvest around the country is down by 20 percent in most States.

Where has all our wheat reserve gone? The U.S. Government thought it was a wise idea to export all of the reserves. Now we're having to IMPORT less than top quality wheat from a few of the countries that have it in reserve! Imagine that, we expert the highest quality wheat to other countries then turn around and import lower quality wheat for our self. Does that make any sense to you? This is why many experts in the industry and predicting a food shortage in the U.S. this fall. Have you stocked up yet?
