The farm subsidy system is insane, but I haven’t heard one word about it in relation to the poison dog food.

Wasn’t it the democratic party that started the farm subsidy program?

The ethanol production scheme has sent grain prices way up.
Other feed has skyrocketed in response. Dairy farmers and others are squeezed, some of them going out of business.

In central and eastern Oregon I have heard of people releasing their horses into the wild because they could not afford to feed them (hay prices shot up in response to the grain feeds). I’ve seen some really thin beef this spring, bordering on starvation.

Grain products from China are a cheaper fill in.
