I was at the local feed store last week looking at fencing. They seemed to 
have a lot of it, in many different types. The price  has gone up, but then 
I haven't bought any fencing for many years, so I haven't been tracking the 
price. I need some to keep the chickens out of the tomatoes; I'm thinking of 
going with the stiff plastic deer fencing; it's cheaper than metal and 
easier to work with.

Subject: [Homestead] shortages?


Last month - learned about shortages of chicken wire.

Yesterday, getting LP, learned that there are shortages of LP gas equipment 
parts - same reason stated as down at the feed farm supply store about 
chicken wire........ manufacturers bankrupt, and dealers going out of 
business.

If anyone is out shopping at small businesses, please start making 
inquiries, casual conversation. Suspect we need to know if shortages are 
getting widespread or are localized.

Anyone finding out about shortages please post.
