Might be closer to the mark than it is comfortable to contemplate.
This year's crop has not gone to market yet. The price rises we are currently seeing pertain almost entirely to fuel prices to move stuff around and get it to the shelves. Production prices (farm fuel, fertilizers - which have gone up by 400% - feed price increases, etc.) have not yet factored themselves into the shelf prices.
It might get interesting.
We've laid up 16 pounds of dry beans and 20 pounds of rice, and overstocked on some other odds and ends. That'll keep us going for a bit until I can get into thee woods and start dragging deer carcasses out for the protein.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
