Food Shortages
Have you heard about the food shortage in the U.S.?
What's Happening with the Food Shortages?
There is currently a major shortage of food happening in the southern United States. This issue has happened due to not having enough manpower in the army, Union jobs in the food-growing industry, and loss of slaves to work in the fields.
Farming
Believe it or not, the plantation farming system is rapidly declining! With less slaves to work and fear of rebellion, there isn't many crops being harvested at this time.
Cost
Make sure to spend money on only what is necessary, because although families spend an average of $6.65 on food every month, this price will soon skyrocket!
Food
It is predicted that main foods in an every day diet, such as meat, rice, and corn, will soon be a luxury in most if not all American households.
What should I do?
If you're worried about not having enough food to feed your family in these hard times, you've come to the right place. Try and make some of your own food now so you don't have to worry about buying fresh produce. Also, try not to waste any food. Only buy and cook what you and your family will eat. Finally, save your money to buy food. Prices are going to go up by a lot very soon.
