Our grain reserves are now at their lowest since World War II:
Due to high prices caused by shortages abroad, our stockpiles of grain are now being exported fifteen times faster than expected, and we have committed to sell ALL of it to foreign countries, leaving our own wheat reserves at the lowest level since 1946, when we had half the current population to feed. In fact, it seems our farmers have probably committed to sell more grain to foreign countries than they've actually planted !
.
To make matters worse, America's farmers have switched to growing corn for ethanol, in place of food grade crops. Couple this with worldwide damage to farmlands and crops from droughts and floods, and it's obvious that the worst will come yet this summer.

These two ABC news articles confirm the above:

The shortage of ALL grains, even hay, is so severe that now we even have thoroughbred horses starving - even dying - in Kentucky, Tennessee, and at least five other states; The price of hay has doubled, even tripled. Grain wholesalers from as far away as Central Kentucky are receiving calls daily from people across the eastern part of the United States looking for hay. Horses are being abandoned on federal land, and in city parks, or are given away.

The Rush For Biofuels Threatens Starvation On A Global Scale:
"The rush towards biofuels is threatening world food production and the lives of billions of people, the Governments Chief Scientific Adviser said yesterday. Professor John Beddington put himself at odds with ministers who have committed Britain to large increases in the use of biofuels over the coming decades. In his first important public speech since he was appointed, he described the potential impacts of food shortages as the elephant in the room; a problem which rivaled that of climate change."

The Sunday Times Says - We Are Running Out! (U.K. Times):
"THE WORLD is only ten weeks away from running out of wheat supplies after stocks fell to their lowest levels for 50 years. The crisis has pushed prices to an all-time high and could lead to further hikes in the price of bread, beer, biscuits and other basic foods."

Half Our Bees Have Died !
Half of America's honeybees are now dead and gone! So, do not expect abundant fruits, nuts, and vegetable crops as they will drop to as little as thirty (30) percent of normal production, for lack of pollination!

Per CBS - Sixty Minutes, Feb. 24, 2008. See: .http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/10/25/60minutes/main3407762.shtml

Summation:
Without grain, livestock cannot be fed. Without livestock there is no meat. Without bees, vegetables and fruit cannot grow. Without all three, a nation cannot survive.
