The new Wendy's restaurant in Timnath is the first place I've noticed hanging signs notifying customers that some menu items are not available because of shortages due to COVID-19.

I asked one of the employees what they were doing differently in response to their new limitations, and she said replied that:

However, Fort Collins is not the only area experiencing fluctuations in the supply chain. Florida tomatoes have been rotting in their fields and Colorado's peaches were ruined by a spring deep freeze. The CEO of Tyson meats even took out a full page ad in The New York Times, The Washington Post and the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette warning the public of the difficulties the country could face if meat plants remained closed.
