It's true. Agricultural imports to be banned. Retaliation for sanctions.

The Russian government is drawing up a list of restricted goods. It plans to ban the import of all U.S. agricultural products, including poultry, as well as all fruit and vegetable imports from the European Union, according to a report in RIA Novosti citing Alexey Alekseenko, spokesman for Russian food safety watchdog Rosselkhoznadzor.

A Nam Vet was talking about that in the store and said if they sent some round-up bombs off in the air above us they could kill our crops and we'd starve together.
