Feeding the animals so that the party members get fed, if there is a food crisis developing.

Let’s guess that they know what they’re doing. It’s all about money. Maybe they think they can get an extra crop?

American media is completely ignoring China’s inhumane, dystopian and nearly satanic covid lockdowns - done purely for political / power reasons of the CCP

Part of it is because China is non-western, and China controls access very tightly - and partly because China’s political-covid insanity reflects very badly on our own deep-state, who is guilty of some measure of the same thing.

What? We got crazed Chinamen farmers razing wheat fields 3 weeks early. Stupid China farmers.

China is communist so they get a pass from the communist/Democrats, as does, Russia, Venezuela, etc.

Chinese grain silos are full. No room left for new grain.

Shouldn’t China’s agriculture ministry know that?

It is a common practice to cut and bale wheat before the head and stalks normally mature for grain harvest.

Can feed dairy cows and feedlot steers during Summer.

If they’ve got some kind of mildew or fungus from the floods, then it won’t be fit for human consumption anyway. So cutting it early for animal feed before it’s contaminated any further is the right move.

One thing I know for sure is that farmers in the field, even Chinese ones, know more about what to do than any reporter or government flunky does.

All this about droughts and diesel and fertilizer and war is making Doomsday Preppers look more and more rational by the hour.

Dairy in China? Tell me you haven’t been to China without telling me you haven’t been to China.

Aside from a couple of phrases, I don’t either. If course that didn’t stop someone from telling me,”You speak excellent Chinese!” So polite. Anyway, cheese and butter are practically unheard of and milk (if you can find it) is found unrefrigerated in the type of boxes you get chicken or vegetable stock in. Point is, farmers are looking to feed dairy cattle.

In 2021, China produced 36.8 million metric tonnes of milk.

Shouldn’t China’s agriculture ministry know that?

They know what amounts of grain they have, and since they have the major portion of the World’s grain supply locked up, there is little room for more. So they arrange an operation to pin the problem on someone else in typical CCP fashion.

If you think Orc Land is corrupt, the CCP’s China makes them look like amateurs.

About a third of what the US produces in a country with four times the population.
