THose potatoes and onions you've been eating all year? That's the reserve supply, because the local crop was wiped out by flooding last year.
This year is going to be more of the late frost, early Winter story. It's planting time, right now, and a good chunk of North American farm land is covered in snow.
There are food shortages incoming. This Summer you will start to see it.
Trust me on this one, you want to turn your lawn into garden, now.
Don't really have much room for a garden. But I do have bows, firearms and small arms training. My hope is, in a dire situation, someone like you and I could arrange a mutually beneficial deal.
If not there's always the alternative. I'm going to get my family fed one way or another.
Yeah, for sure. I'd work and I'm sure guns and training will be readily accepted when less than savory people come around looking for food and stuff.
Trust is built over time I'm sure it will come.
Also not to sound weird, but you have sons, I have daughters. So it would be misty beneficial for all. Only idiots would not trust in such an arrangement.

Definitely not a theory I have discounted.
There's some seriously weird shit going on, that is certain.
Nobody is talking at all about the coming food shortages, either.

RE: Food shortages. Do you have links?
Been watching /r/farming for signs of problems, but it seems food production is fine atm.

I'm a hobby farmer. Only ~100acres
Feed stores are low, seed stores are low/gone.

Yeah. I can't farm by myself. I will eventually need more help than just my sons.
Difficult to establish trust, though.

There's NO SNOW in North America right now. It was a VERY mild winter. You should know that.
