“The agency, blaming higher grain prices and a difficult economy, expects broiler meat production in the second-half of 2011 to fall below last year's level and also anticipates broiler meat production to slow down in 2012.

Roenigk hopes the latest government assistance quickly stabilizes prices for poultry producers.

While that would be a good thing for producers, it could happen at the expense of consumers since reducing supply tends to raise retail prices for the product.”

OK, High grain prices are hurting the chicken producers, so the government starts a program to force up the price of chicken in the supermarket?

Why can the dumb@sses do something to deal the the high price of grain? Dumping the stupid ethanol fuel subsidies would help the chicken ( and beef, pork) farmers without raising the price consumers pay.

A lot of the comments are funny, but I see no humor in what the parasites on both sides of the isle are doing to us. How long before we’ve had enough and drag all out? As for elections, does the retention of the two flee-baggers give you pause? Washington laughs at us.
