    Thought y'all might find this interesting... I graphed out how much the basic feed I give my ducks has gone up since 2020. Layer feed is up a whopping 79%! Scratch grains up 42%.

    With diesel up over 200% in the spring, fertilizer, and other needed chemicals for agriculture, I do not thing 42% is where it will stop. I am stocking up on dried dog and cat food (18 month supply), rice, and beans because those prices have not peaked yet.

    And a drought didn't help.
    Several weeks back I overheard feed store employees talking about how feed of all types has been flying off the shelves. They attributed it to the hot dry weather we've had; nothing is growing.

    I let my ducks forage for several hours a day, and only supplement them with commercial feed. They've been eating more feed than usual this year. Not as much stuff to forage through this hot dry summer.

    If this keeps up, the movie Soylent Green won't be fiction, it will have been a prediction.
    Remember the year it was supposed to take place???
