Farming...NOT for the faint of heart.
3 re plants and Mother Nature has other plans. It truly hurts your soul. Storm Damage from this morning.

Heavenly Father we come to you today with praise in our hearts towards your grace, mercy, love and goodness. Also Father we come with heavy hearts as the dryness and drought conditions worsen across so much of cattle country. Father pastures are drying up, hay crops are short and things seem to be going from bad to worse for so many, so we ask in Jesus name Father to send abundant rains to replenish the dry parched pastures and hay fields. We thank you Father that you are provider in all things. In Jesus name AMEN

Let’s pretend your house payment rises from $1500 a month to $3000 - $4000 a month. Then add on your electric bill which went from $100 a month to $300 - $400 a month. Then add on your health insurance that grew from $300 a month to $600 - $700 a month. Your heating bill went from $200 to $400-$500 a month, oh and you must add on a $75 delivery fee on top of that. Your food bill rises from $400 a month to $800 a month. Transportation costs rise from $100 a month to $400 a month.

Using the low-end numbers your expenses to survive go from $2600 a month to $5675. That’s an increase of $3075.

Oh, by the way, your wages have been cut, then the following month maybe up 5% and then down 25% or more.

Oh, I forgot. If it rains it might take away from your income. Or if it snows at the wrong time.

You’re beginning to see what farmers are facing and have been partially living with.

This spring – right now we are trying to decide what crops to plant. What do we need to continue to produce food. Seed costs, fertilizer costs, fuel costs – up 100% to 300%. This will kill some farms. This will greatly hurt other farms. Some farms will adjust and survive.

That may not seem like anything you should be concerned about.

Until . . .

The grocery stores are more empty. The food you can find will cost more. The medicines you need may be in short supply. Other goods – tires, makeup, clothing and on and on it goes will change in availability.

Pray for your country. Pray for your farmers. Pray for the upcoming elections. You can see the results of the administration we have now – and I 1000% believe it doesn’t have to be this way.

PSA: if you are buying from local farmers/farmers markets please don't question pricing. All prices are up, seeds, fertilizer, fuel etc. Most of us had to replant 2-3 times due to weather. Just remember, they can tell you exactly where your produce came from...
