Does anyone know anything about the cattle market? Why are ranchers only getting 1.44 per pound and the price of beef has not come down at all? Do you think the President can do anything about this? Asking for a friend. I am working on this person.

I wonder about that myself. Also, the price of milk is unbelievably low, in my opinion, compared to the apparent cost of production. I’m in a women’s agriculture group online and recall instances where the women said they were getting out of the dairy business because they were broke.

I think one answer is buying local.

As an aside, I keep bees. The joke is, do you know how to make a hundred thousand dollars keeping bees? First, start with a million dollars, then . . .

Another joke is, “Think our honey costs too much? We have a pick your own program, we’ll even loan you a beekeeping suit.”
