CHINA IS EATING OUR LUNCH! – We Are Losing the Food War!
Other countries are protecting their food supplies. Argentina, Russia, and Ukraine have all stopped exporting to be able to feed their people. Yet the USA continues to export hand-over-fist to China — based on the data from the USDA. How is this happening? Who is in control? Christian asks some hard questions tonight on this troubling Ice Age Farmer broadcast — and the answers demand that we start growing food immediately.

Other countries are protecting their food supplies. Are we?
Argentina is normally the world’s second biggest corn exporter, with sales of about $4.4 billion. That represents nearly 15 per cent of the world’s corn export market, a significant amount that the global food system expects to see through the normal course of trade. But this year, that’s not the case.

Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust – Wikipedia
Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust – Wikipedia
The Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust (BEHT) is a strategic grain reserve held by the United States for the benefit of other countries. It can contain commodities and cash held in trust to supplement food aid made available under programs created by Public Law 480, the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954.
The Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust | U.S. Agency for International Development
In 2008, as global food prices spiked, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) sold the remaining stocks (about 915,000 MT), converting the trust into an all cash reserve for the purchase of U.S. commodities. The 2008 Farm Bill authorized the Secretary of Agriculture to invest the funds in low-risk, short-term securities or instruments to maximize the trust’s value. The BEHT is under the authority of the Secretary of Agriculture, with the USAID Administrator overseeing the release and use of the funds.
The Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust | Fact Sheet | U.S. Agency for International Development
The Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust (BEHT) is a special authority in the Agricultural Act of 2018, also known as the Farm Bill, that allows USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance to respond to unanticipated food crises abroad, when other Title II resources are not available.

Ice Age Farmer – America’s Top Owner of Farmland: Bill Gates — In Control of Food
Sell out massive agricultural products for a fortune cookie. The fortune cookie says “Your future does not look bright.”
Well, at least it’s an honest fortune cookie.
“CHINA IS EATING OUR LUNCH!” is accusatory. The blame china model that is so popular at present. “WE ARE SELLING CHINA OUR LUNCH!” would be much more accurate. It’s not as though China were stealing it. China was one of 168 countries that banned the import of US meat because of its use of the growth hormone Ractopamine that is suspected of being carcinogenic. The US twisted China’s arm into resuming imports so we can’t blame China for eating North American pork. Russia and some other countries are behaving wisely in reducing food exports. Every country should grow enough food… Read more »
Agreed about the article title. You beat me to writing a response. Well done and well said.
I was unsure about how to address this exact qualm I had about that part of the way the information is presented but this thread has provided me with a way of doing so.
Though I agree and am of the same belief, due to the importance of the information I have left it to the discretion and discernment of the reader to separate the wheat from the chaff as they might see fit. In any case he does make sure to clearly differentiate fact, from opinion, from conjecture.
Having followed his work for well over a year, I have no doubt that his intentions are honest and even though I might not agree with some perspectives, the raw data speaks for it self, specially if you delve deeply into the sources.
