What Marshmallow said
There are currently farms that have crops withering in their fields without anyone to pick them, and no one to plant the next round of crops due to ICE.
Prepare yourself with some cute winter boots.
Friends, as a farmer I say this to you with no sense of irony, and a great sense of urgency:
Plant a garden.
If you are in a small space, plant a container garden.
You are going to need to be able to sustain yourself/trade with others if this keeps up.
Food is life.
Food is currency.
I'll leave you with this completely unrelated message from Marshmallow the Kunekune pig
As farming faces numerous challenges, including lack of labor and unpredictable climates, starting your own garden has never been more critical. For those limited on space, container gardening is an ideal solution, allowing many individuals to cultivate fresh produce in small areas. Not only can gardening provide essential food, but it also offers a form of self-sustainability that can be invaluable during uncertain times. Implementing this hobby can enrich your life by connecting you with nature and providing a rewarding sense of accomplishment. Beyond personal benefits, gardening can foster community, as homegrown excess can be traded among neighbors, creating a local economy based on food security. Engaging in gardening and understanding its value in times of crisis may serve you well, emphasizing the age-old adage: Food is life, and sharing is community.
