It shouldn't, says "Farmer Brad," a Texas-based farmer who said in an interview about food security with Mike Adams for Natural News TV that during Hurricane Katrina, an inventory of local farms and what they produced was conducted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
"FEMA was doing an inventory of all the farms around ... metroplexes," he said, which included nearby Houston and other large cities. "They started calling up farms and wanted to know where farms were, and they were being prepared to maybe take food if they need to, from farms, you know, for a crisis like that."
Brad, of HomeSweetFarm.com, said that while the agency didn't come right out and say they would confiscate crops and cattle, "they were making food assessments, you know, what is in the local food shed in a metroplex."
He said the agency's assessment took into account a number of potential emergencies and disasters, including spikes in fuel prices or even sudden disruptions - anything that might hinder or prevent the delivery of food to stores. Such scenarios would also lead to dramatic increases in food prices as well, Brad said.

I see FEMA getting "exposed" to alot of lead if this ever happened.

Farms, food distribution centers, etc.. but the distribution and storage centers first.
AND.. my great grandfather buried stuff in old jars and plumbing pipes with the screw on ends. He died suddenly and my dad and his siblings, and later me and my cousins have dug up probably acres of land over the last 60 decades trying to find his goodies. I think the mean old man told us he did that and never did.. and is cackling at us in the spirit world for being digging fools... Of course the treasure has grown to one rivaling any pirates treasure in the world... when in reality its probably a few coins and some junk if anything at all.
Youre correct though, it was VERY common for things to be buried due to the justified distrust of the banks at the time.. and the FEAR of the federal govt, robbers, and the future. There is a side to the great depression that isnt in the history books and that you can only get from the ones who lived through it.. and theyre almost extinct. So many have been abandoned by their families and left to rot... and all of that knowledge lost. A guy I know who is the son who actually listened to his grandfather has recently been stockpiling things in buried containers.. including gardening supplies and seed banks in his barn in a hidden fridge. I know I feel thats a little overboard, but I swear... sometimes I wonder anymore.
