I see a repeating theme of warnings of coming food shortages. I have advised over and over again the importance of getting your personal or community gardens going; saving seeds, buying heirloom seeds and storing seeds. Here is another report which warns of coming food shortages:

The Space and Science Research Center warns over the next 30 months, global temperatures are expected to make another dramatic drop with years of devastating to total crop losses in the Canadian and northern US grain regions.

Recently a law suit was won against Bayer AG because they contaminated more than 30 percent of all rice cropland in the United States with an experimental strain of rice not approved for human consumption. This experimental stain is a genetically modified crop and the contamination to our “good” crops has made them unsuitable for export. The GMO crop was modified so that it would be resistant to Bayer AG’s Liberty-brand herbicide.

So much for amber waves of grain …. Thanks Bayer AG and Monsanto … Genetically Modified Crops should be outlawed.

Spring is sprung and it’s time to start your seedlings for a robust garden. Get some Peat Pots
and some good soil and start your seeds to be planted in your garden. Grow what your family will eat and maybe enough to trade or share with neighbors.

Get the seeds started in peat pots and get your garden ready by either tilling a garden spot or building a raised garden. You can also buy ready made DIY raised gardens: Frame It All Raised Vegetable Garden 4 Foot x 8 Foot

Make sure you have good soil. Get a compost bin or build one for future fertilizer.

Visit the website of your local Cooperative Extension for a gardening calendar of planting times/seasons of different crops that will thrive in your region.

Get your garden growing and have confidence that if there should be food shortages this year, that your family will be fed wholesome organic food.
