Robert Bridge — Strategic Review Jan 5, 2021<\/strong><\/h1>\n

In the United States, the local farmers, it seems, are being squeezed out of business, or paid not to grow food, while Big Agriculture is more concerned with exporting its supplies than keeping domestic food stocks safe and affordable.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In an effort to fight two wars at the same time \u2013 against a pandemic as well as purported climate change \u2013 the Biden administration risks putting the United States on a crash course with food shortages and soaring prices as early as this year.<\/p>\n

Sealed up inside of his White House fortress, surrounded by a ring of steel and thousands of National Guardsmen, U.S. President Joe Biden has been busy signing off on a raft of executive orders without the nuisance of democratic debate and congressional prattling. One of those presidential actions envisions the conservation<\/a> of 30 percent of the nation\u2019s lands and waters over the next decade. Where will all of that protected land come from? Perhaps from Bill Gates, who now owns<\/a> the deed to most of the farmland in the nation? Doubtful. The answer is from small, independent farmers, whose agricultural activities, the Democrats say, are responsible for 10 percent of the manmade greenhouse emissions purportedly frying up the planet.<\/p>\n

While occupying the previously unknown \u2018Office of the President-Elect\u2019, the Democratic leader said<\/a> he would pay U.S. farmers to \u201cput their land in conservation\u201d and live without their \u2018cash crops.\u2019 How much the tillers of the soil will receive has not been disclosed, nor if this program will be enforced upon farmers against their will.<\/p>\n

Another reason that the future does not bode well for American farming is that Biden\u2019s nominee for Agricultural Secretary is none other than Tom Vilsack, who also served as the USDA chief in the Obama administration. Biden said Vilsack will help American agriculture become \u201cthe first in the world to achieve net-zero [greenhouse] emissions.\u201d But is anyone considering what will happen if or when America achieves net-zero food production at a time when the rest of the world is hoarding limited supplies? Equally concerning will be the quality of the food being produced.<\/p>\n

Under Obama, Vilsack happily rammed through a number of delectable Dr. Frankenstein technologies, like cloned-farm animals, lab-grown meat and more new genetically modified organisms (GMOs), many from Monsanto. So while there will probably be something to eat in Biden\u2019s new America, it might be a stretch to actually call it \u2018food.\u2019 Indeed, for those Americans who prefer a bounty of farm-fresh, organic produce as opposed to some artificial, 3D meat knockoff<\/a>, the nightmare has just begun.<\/p>\n

A Brave New Foodless Future?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Paradoxically, at a time when the United States finds itself smack in the middle of a pandemic, which has caused supply chains to be stretched to the breaking point, it is not saving for a \u2018rainy day,\u2019 but rather exporting its farm products like there\u2019s no tomorrow. Consider the corn exports just to China alone, below.<\/p>\n

\n

Corn is the winner today and it\u2019s all about exports as China has stepped back into the market once again today with a huge 1.7MT export sale of US corn. it has been a busy week so far for US corn:https:\/\/t.co\/MDXdCJ7H7J<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/VJ5PuS3OIa<\/a><\/p>\n
