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?

The cattle situation isnt as grim as you say. Busting ice in cattle troughs and ponds to allow them to drink has been goin on forever . My cattle didnt suffer. We did have hay to feed them and to block the wind off them. As far as I know we didnt lose any to the storm. Now predation is another matter.
