During WWII, my Sister-in-law’s husband’s family ran a ranch in West Texas. They were self sufficient, canned their own meats and vegetables for ranch use. They had to be well supplied for the winters there.
One day. someone snitched, and the authorities raided,and confiscated all of their foods they had canned leaving them nothing. The authorities claimed their stockpile for winter was “hoarding”.
How did they survive? They had another smaller cellar off in the hills no one knew about.
And to think, just ten years before, those same authorities were buying up all the beef they could, digging a ditch, shooting the animals and burying them, trying to create a shortage so they could get the price of eat up.
