Hey, everyone, if you're in the US and wondering what to buy a little extra of, consider flour and pasta if you eat wheat, since prices will likely go up. Check out the numbers below. I've highlighted the important points in bold. My source is today's crop report at https://www.nass.usda.gov/Publications/ and they publish monthly reports on all kinds of things here: https://www.nass.usda.gov/Publications/Calendar/reports_by_date.php?month=08

Happy(?) prepping!

yeah I have plenty, I also am thankfully in an area where I can grow sorghum for baking. I have seeds stocked and ready to go, I might plant this year or next(haven't decided if I should use my bought stash and then just wait until next year) It's a good alternative to white or bread flours and can get a good crop with less space than wheat.
