Food prices are rising, and it may only get worse. In this video, I break down what's actually driving grocery prices up in 2026, which foods are most likely to get hit hardest, and exactly what I'd be buying right now to get ahead of it.
We cover fertilizer shortages, fuel costs, drought conditions, what's happening to the U.S. cattle herd, and why multiple grocery categories are getting squeezed at the same time.
