Wheat exploded in price yesterday (limit up) after USDA forecast that over 8 million acres of HRW (Hard Red Wheat) will be abandoned in the Great Plains
That's 37% of planted acreage reported in the March Prospective Planting report, and means U.S. farmers this year will harvest their smallest wheat crop since 1972.
This comes on top of already record-low planted acreage heading into the season (lowest since 1919 in some metrics). Global supplies are tightening too.
Expect bread, pasta, baked goods, and processed foods to climb in the coming months — and pressure on livestock feed could push meat/dairy prices higher as well. This is another brick in the wall of rising food costs.
Grow your own food — that is the answer. Stock seeds, expand the garden, learn to preserve, and connect with local growers.

"The EU really wants to abandon Russian #gas, but reality says otherwise", - the publication writes.
The largest importer of Russian gas is #France which sells it to #Germany, followed by #Spain and #Belgium.

Africa’s Farmers Brace for Food Crisis as Hormuz Fertilizer Flows Collapse
The impact of the war led the UN to warn of spiking food costs for a continent where there were already alarm bells about potential famines and where governments also have limited ability to help. #Africa also has on average lower use of fertilizers compared with, say, Europe and that means the soil is already at risk of undernourishment, according to producer Yara International ASA.
Farmers in places like #Nigeria and #Lesotho say they are skipping fertilizers or scaling back the area they plan to plant crops. South Africa (#SA) is forecasting its lowest #wheat harvest in 12 years as winter planting begins. In #Senegal, some are using cheaper products.
“Across much of sub-Saharan Africa, where smallholder farmers use minimal fertilizer to begin with, any price spike can drastically reduce input usage and reduce yields that are already low,

🇺🇸🇨🇳Meet Zelensky 2.0:
DJT arrival in Beijing,
Apparently, President Xi Jinping had more important things to do than to wait for Pedo DJT to arrive at the airport.
#MAGA was said to be in spin mode heralding the red carpet treatment, but the visit was already off to a rocky start. Instead of a presidential welcome, Trump was greeted by the US Ambassador to China, #Xi's vice president, China's ambassador to Washington, and an executive vice minister of foreign affairs.

Hormuz Crisis Magnifies Impact Of Anti-Russian Sanctions On Europe
An unexpected food crisis has hit Europe: potato futures prices have soared from €2.5 to €18.5 per 100 kilograms in just a few days. This is due to a disruption in fertilizer supplies following the escalation in the Strait of Hormuz, through which a significant portion of global ammonia and urea shipments pass.
Fearing they would run out of nutrients in the middle of the growing season, European farmers began buying up contracts, triggering a panic on the exchanges.
This episode is merely the tip of the iceberg. Since 2022, food prices in the EU have steadily risen due to the refusal to import Russian energy carriers and the pressure of sanctions.
The situation in the Strait of Hormuz has delivered an even heavier blow than previous restrictions because it has cut off alternative logistics corridors. Consequently, Europe’s sanctions against Russia, coupled with the crisis in the strait, have burdened consumers' wallets.

🇵🇸 Israel’s organ theft scandal exposes a culture of desecration| The Cradle
On 25 January, Israeli President Isaac Herzog stood before a crowd celebrating what Tel Aviv claimed was a world record in kidney donations. The event, promoted after a lobbying push to Guinness World Records, was meant to project generosity, discipline, and moral purpose.
But Guinness listed only the gathering itself as a record, not the kidney donations that Tel Aviv had turned into a public relations show.
The bodies behind the numbers
In Gaza, where Israel has been returning Palestinian bodies in bags, sometimes decomposed, mutilated, or showing signs of surgical interference, the celebration landed differently. For Palestinian health officials, the question was not how Israel had produced so many donors, but whether all of those bodies had consented.
