Our farmers are destroying their products such as milk,pork,chicken and beef at an alarming rate and it is absolutely sickening.
What else can they do with them. They can’t afford to feed them while they stand around doing nothing but looking pretty.It takes several years to put a beef cow on the market and several years to get a producing dairy cow. If they think that they can import enough beef cows from anywhere outside the United States but Canada and Mexico to furnish the population of the United States with reasonable priced meat, they are only kidding themselves. Ditto pork.
I don’t believe that for a minute. Chicken possibly but why would you kill a hog for a one month market disruption? An enterprising hog farmer would sell it live on the hood before he killed it and then had to endure the cost of disposing of it. My cattle ranching buddy said there is no way in hell he’s going to start shooting beef anytime in the near future. He can hold them longer and the price will go down but killing them would be a total loss.
