These days we all have been noticing a lot of empty space in all our favorite grocery stores.  Some of our favorite foods are missing. It's all because of a big problem in the supply chain that’s affecting people nationwide, and mid-Michigan hasn’t been spared in the shortage.

Over the weekend I noticed a shortage in the produce department with many fruits and vegetables low, or not even on the shelf.
