Farm Crisis Leads to Huge Tech Breakthrough

Amazon, Walmart, and even Google are embracing the next disruptive trend in delivery services. Is this the supply chain fix we've all been waiting for? [Wealth Daily logo] Farm Crisis Leads to Huge Tech Breakthrough [Alexander Boulden Photo] By [Alexander Boulden]( Written Apr 13, 2022 In the early 2000s, I saw John "Cougar" Mellencamp perform live at Ripken Stadium in Aberdeen, Maryland. This was just after a big thunder storm had rolled in, forcing Willie Nelson off the stage. We were all disappointed Willie couldn’t play longer, but then John Mellencamp stepped on stage and rocked the house. I’d never heard “Rain on the Scarecrow,” and it really blew me away. The song’s stuck with me ever since, and it reminds me of how easily we can forget the impact our farmers have on the world economy. It’s a haunting tune written about the 1980s U.S. farm crisis (and farms in general). Back then, U.S. farmers suffered some of their biggest losses since the Great Depression. Midwest farmland lost 60% of its value, farm debt doubled from 1978–84, and farming income was only $5.4 billion compared with $20 billion in the 1950s. Minnesota alone lost more than 10,000 farms. Nearly half of farmers who held Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) loans were in delinquency in the state. Farmers lost their land, and generations lost their future jobs. When I see terms like "farmageddon" and "farm crisis" floating around the internet today, it feels insincere, especially since this coverage is a little late to the party. We've been writing about this since the start of the pandemic. Not to mention, we've been showing readers how to play the crisis. More on that below... How to Play the $30 Trillion ESG Trend ESG (environmental, social, and governance) investing is predicted to become as big as $30 TRILLION... And with climate change making the headlines every day, one tiny company could become an ESG darling. Early investors already made 1,172% within a few months... And as soon as a green ETF includes this firm in its portfolio, shares could soar much higher. Today, you can get in for less than $5. But with a radical new global climate policy unfolding, there’s not much time to act. [Click here for all the details.]( Farmageddon The '80s crisis happened in a few stages that I’m sure to oversimplify. But it's important to go through them so we can compare our current situation to the macroenvironment back then. First, in the 1970s, the Nixon administration urged farmers to plant “fencerow to fencerow,” causing farmers to take out more loans to buy equipment and land. But in an attempt to bring down interest rates because of sky-high inflation, the Federal Reserve tightened its money policies, which caused farmland value to drop. Add to that Jimmy Carter’s 1980 grain embargo on Russia (which only hurt U.S. farmers) and crop prices dropped because there was a glut of supply. Farmers couldn't repay their loans and had to give up the land. Similarities today include sky-high inflation, the Fed raising interest rates, and an economic war with Russia. The importance of farms is something we take for granted every day at the grocery store until prices go up. Then people understand the butterfly effect that farms can have on the economy. The Ukraine crisis alone has caused wheat and corn prices to soar more than 19% in the last month. And today’s input costs for things like diesel and fertilizer are at all-time highs, which has further contributed to global food prices increasing 75% since mid-2020. That's an insane increase! It's something our mining and precious metals expert Luke Burgess has shown his readers how to profit from. Find out [the most profitable way to play the farming crisis here](. One big difference today, however, is that we have new technologies that are capable of offsetting the effects of the farming problem. A Supply Chain Fix? I finally caught the bug last week. For me, it felt like a mix of the flu and bronchitis. Following CDC guidelines by isolating myself, I spent roughly $150 on Postmates because I was unprepared to ease my symptoms, which I find completely unacceptable in modern-day society. I know inflation is high, but all that for some Tylenol and Pedialyte? If only there were a cheaper delivery service that didn’t charge sky-high fees... Apple’s Ultimate Masterpiece About to Hit the Market Folks, Apple has been running the personal technology game for decades. Every single gadget it's ever released has been a smash hit. And now, it's ready to release what could be its final product. Its magnum opus. One product that could replace every single device you own. And best of all, it could make you unbelievably rich. And as if that’s not enough — you don’t have to buy a single share of Apple’s stock to do it. [Click here to find out what Apple’s planning...]( Well, delivery drones from Amazon, Walmart, and even Google are making their way into the friendly skies and might just patch up this supply chain mess by supplementing deliveries. Google’s Wing drone could be seen delivering Walgreens packages to residents in Frisco, Texas, this week — no added delivery fees. [drone] These are the types of big, disruptive trends that can produce outsized returns if you know where to look. Amazon said it hopes to deliver 500 million aerial packages a year. We may even see robots reaching rural areas and transporting people, equipment, and livestock. It hasn't passed regulatory requirements yet, but the industry could do really well in this inflationary environment, especially now that many delivery app services have gone out of business by spending too much cash, giving out too many discounts, and not meeting their delivery windows. According to Bloomberg, venture capitalists invested nearly $10 billion into rapid-delivery companies in 2021. The problem is these companies relied on expensive human capital. It’s still a growing industry, but the companies that'll come out on top are the ones investing in drones and drone technology. For our best picks, we have [four companies right here]( that are at the forefront of the trend as we speak. And be on the lookout for more robot plays later this week... New Trade Service Coming Soon! Billions of dollars are ripe for the taking... With a few flicks of the thumb, it’s now possible for ANY investor to make a trade that’ll deliver their fair share of this money. But there’s just one problem: these trades are invisible to most investors. They have no way to see what America’s biggest corporations, institutions, and hedge funds are secretly up to behind the scenes... And so most investors are completely missing out on the enormous profits from these predictable insider trades. Until now... The Insider Stakeout system changes all this.

Wall Street loves a good overreaction, which we've been seeing lately in response to the market's volatility. This week, the market reacted to three big stories. First, pandemic fears ramped up again, with Shanghai, China, entering a scary lockdown and new COVID cases on the rise in the U.S. Even though hospitalizations and deaths are decreasing from this time last year, experts fear we’re in a surge right now. But with so many people testing at home, it's hard to gather accurate data on new infections. Second, economic numbers still don’t look good, with March inflation hitting 8.5%, the fastest increase since 1981. This is reflected at the pump, which is why Biden has authorized the sale of E15 gasoline this summer. The fuel, which is blended with 15% ethanol, is $0.10 cheaper per gallon but could lead to more smog. Traditional gasoline is already blended with 10% ethanol, and E15 is less efficient, meaning people will be filling up more often. It's just a Band-Aid, not a true fix. What it means is [alternative fuels are entering the market](, and [they'll explode in value]( sooner than you think. Third, there’s analyst talk about the microchip industry correcting and losing its influence in the economy, with Morgan Stanley citing high inventories. This may be true in the short term, but microchips are an ever-evolving technology. They aren’t going away anytime soon. Don't let the market news deter you. Keep at it. And I hope you have a healthy Easter.
