Potential for peanut butter, if eggs and meat prices stay high long enough to drive up demand for peanut butter as a protein source, and if global food shortages continue/accelerate (because peanut butter based supplements are a critical food for treating child wasting)

We had a discussion at my neighbors about peanut butter, last week. I was surprised how popular it is amongst all of us adults who were present. I eat it every evening before bed, usually with a banana or sliced apple (if we have fresh fruit).

I live in p-nut country!! Sheller within a mile, p-nut butter packer, 6 miles. That's one protein source not worrying me. :lol: honestly, I'm not feeling any shortage pressures. I even get p-nut hulls free -- supplemental feed &/or bedding.
Are peanut shells good mixed in with animal feed? Seems like the would be, IDK...

Peanut shells are better for bedding but some mixed in feed is tolerable. We get peanut skins and mix in with the cattle feed... adds a little bulk, extender so to speak.... and there are some peanuts in there so adds a little protein.

Thanks 👍

Probably not the right thread but have you experienced "silage eye" issues with you're cattle? Also effects sheep.
