Around 4 days ago I started noticing the mentions of food processing plant fires and it caught my attention. I noticed that most of the threads and images that were being posted were repeats and that really only about 20 facilities were being listed.
3 days ago through the power of autism I began meticulously cataloging and archiving every single instance of a major fire or incident at food processing plants, large farms, grain/cereal storage/processing facilities, and warehouses that store fertilizer and agriculture related chemicals and large equipment meant for industrial level farms going back to 2019.
Incidents at food processing plants are up more than 100% this year, and incidents at large scale farms are up more 310%. It's more than 1000% if you consider each individual farm in a County affected by Avian flu as separate incidents.
This thread is the result of all my noticing.

Not hardly.
...”
guns and ammo if hunting is an option.”
If you can’t protect it, you don’t own it. Guns and ammo aren’t optional.
Except a lot of farmers are being ordered to destroy crops.
Interesting. I might try that. Any reason to use the grill.
An the massive chicken culling.
So far I’ve lived 62 years without having to fight over a string-bean. If I’m shooting people protecting my rice and beans stash, we know the pooch has been screwed... but you are right, these scenarios are becoming more believable...
We’re coming to a point that will be just this side of civilization collapse. You probably fortunately don’t live in a urban center where the worst effects will be felt. A paradigm shift is happening as we type, but I’m sure you are prepared. It’s all happened before, and it will all happen again. PTL!
Nice job of compiling it all!
Wait until this Summer. You think the Summer of 2020 was bad for riots/looting/murder, just wait until you see what’s coming. The left, commie, socialist, anarchist, liberal, BLM etc scum/filth/sewage are going to be “on the move”.
So, there are 680 food processing facilities inn every State?
Don’t think so. I think that number would be counting things that are not food processing plants at all but product manufacturing plants.
I guess you can do the same on a hot pan. Just do a few whole ones at a time and eat them right away. Dipping in salt water helps the salt stick. I had pickled ones from the store that were crunchy too. Raw is ok to. Good luck!
If I can’t defend this (only half), then I don’t own it.

Obviously enemy action.
A simple copy-and-paste.
The FR software did the rest.
I just learned it does not do that in the original post. It will only do it on replies.
It’s neither finished nor posted as yet.
I set it aside when the Xiden administration got put in its place.
Teaser no pleaser.
“...mine was like eating snot.”
The more I hear comments like yours, the more I’m glad I never tried it, over the years.
Take it up with the USDA. Google is your friend...
