AS a side note:
Hmmm, just reading that there has been an increase in the sale of vegetable and herb seeds. I wonder if it is a good time to invest in companies that sell canning supplies?
I had a friend up in Iowa who told me they had to hold clinics on how to can stuff when the area got hit hard by Carter 1970′s fuel and agricultural crisis and all the farmers got in trouble. They’d concentrated on cash crops for so long that a lot them had forgotten how to can things.
