    There’s definitely more articles appearing talking about food shortages in the pipeline. I’m torn between taking it seriously or are the media bored of scaring us with Covid19 deaths and so have moved onto scaring us over something else.

    The main growing season for a lot of horticultural produce in the Netherlands, Spain and Italy has already been affected by the lockdowns and labour shortages.

    Field crops not so much a problem as most are machines harvested and most can sit there if need be and harvested later without too much loss of yield.

    But I do reckon there will be some shortages and prices will increase due to that.

    There will always be the usual ****ehawks in the press though. That's a given:pac:
