Food Shortages in our future? Texas is wrecked.

Anyone know how much of the national food supply will be affected?

In Texas, thousands and thousands of gallons of milk had to be dumped. Baby chicks are freezing to death. Eggs are freezing and have to be thrown away. Adult chickens are freezing to death.

The entire orange crop in southern Texas is destroyed.

The entire grapefruit crop in southern Texas is ruined and can only be used for juice.

Baby calves will freeze to death or their mother's die of dehydration as soon as they are born. The water for the mothers is frozen and not available. There will be a beef shortage next year in Texas.

What grocery chains nationwide are depending on these supplies?

Yes, we can import some of it to make it up but expect higher prices for food, for home utilities such as electricity and natural gas, and for anything that is transported. We’ll have some serious inflation now. Several calves have died here some local ranchers have reported. And sadly a bull froze his balls off and now he’s just a steer. Will probably end up on dinner plates in the near future.

@cherokeepatti Yeah. I hate Rocky Mountain oysters, too, so...what a waste!
The price hikes will continue as Biden and the Keystone Cops create a whole new level of inflation.

@4meAndyou What’s really going to be damaged are the citrus trees, the freeze went all the way to the coast. I’ve read people in Houston can grow all sorts of things year round like ginger and their citrus and avocados etc. There are also many veggie farms next to the Mexican side of the border that grow a lot of veggies and fruit. Mexico is going to hurt from this too.
