cant find numbers but here

“Combine and tractor fires cause over $20 million in property losses each year and millions more because of lost time and downed crops during
photo of a combine corn header after a fire the busy harvest season. Fires not only cause huge losses and waste time . . . they also cause 40 or 50 serious injuries each year, and occasionally a person is killed because of a farm machinery fire.”

Another site in UK said they have fires on farms each year that cause about $20 million in damages

How does it compare with the number of fires in previous years?

The only relevant question. Are there more of these fires, or just more attention being paid to them? But I do know that comparing fires, at deca or centa million dollar food processing plants, to fires at empty barns, is the act of a clickbait troll farm.

Unless someone can show connection, I think this is all a stretch. It’s like the reports of mass shootings everywhere. There are not, just 24x7 reporting of every incident makes some think there is.

It’s pretty obvious to me that there is a concerted campaign to make food shortages a real condition. Our government is doing everything it can to make our access to food more and more difficult. They are deliberately causing transportation issues, shortages, sky high gasoline, inflation, and deliberately getting us involved in an expensive war between two corrupt governments. They’re trying to destroy us. Midterms cannot come soon enough, but really, read the book of Revelation; we’re in for hard times, very soon.

at this point, it wouldn’t surprise me if some federal dept (FBI) is starting all these fires under orders from the dems in the WH

Considering that Cascade Investment has a controlling interest in “Beyond Meat” then yes.

The people who run this country at the behest of the NWO want us all living in poverty and hunger. It is pretty clear by now. Those they don’t kill outright with their drugs, they’ll beat into submission on the twin anvils of hunger and want.

Ok. What was it before 2015?

I have not found any public sources for that information. The best source I can find is from the National Fire Protection Association.

The latest published data seems to be from 2020.

At that time, there were approximately 36,000 facilities classified as "food production and processing sites".

There seems to be an average of 5,300 fires per year in the category of "All manufacturing and processing facilities". That includes a lot more units than just 36,000 "food production and processing sites".

According to the Census bureau, there are about 310,000 such facilities.

A grossly over-simplified estimate then would be an expected value of about 600 fires per year in "food production and processing sites".

Having 40 serious fires per year in such a population is certainly possible. If anything, we are not being told about how many fires truly occur or what an expected average might be in such critical facilities.

Sad to say, we just don't have the right information to assess whether something is going on here. It would not be difficult to collect the right information. But it is not being done. I would be wary of all claims regarding this topic.

The card trick is done with the left hand while the magician is distracting you with the right hand.

With any story like this, what is a normal number of events like this in a year.
