Potato shortage due to poor harvest this year. More of that climate change they have been talking about. Now we are talking something serious.

And I thought I was the only one who had some serious concerns.... I thought the McDonals drive through looked a little busier than normal....

can probably use yams. Ireland's potato crop also experienced bad weather this year, so probably no opportunity to import 'IRA potatoes' this year

I just went to the grocery store and stocked up on potatoes. Went to three places before I found the Russets. They had a few left. I wanted to be fair and leave some for others.
