Back in April, we warned you that a nefarious agenda was afoot that seeks to destroy the agricultural food chain and starve out the country. Now, that warning is being confirmed by the industry itself.

The latest reports suggest that animal feed users throughout the Southwest and West Coast are on the verge of completely running out of this critical input. Should that happen – and they are saying it might in a matter of days – then animals like cows, chickens, pigs and turkeys will starve to death.

If that happens, then people will starve to death, too, because these are animals raised for human nourishment. If the railroads stop delivering animal feed to companies like Tyson Foods, then you can expect more empty shelves at the grocery store and a hungry tummy.

"What I'm hearing from our members is fewer equipment issues and that the equipment and engines seem to be not breaking down, but the train times – the amount of time it's taking to get the trains – and the reliability of receiving them is still quite a problem in quite a few areas of the country," says Mike Seyfert, president and CEO of the National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA).
