What The MainStream Media is Hiding from Investors
"Consider the Grain Giant Cargill’s CEO’s extraordinary statement recently that the U.S. Government Mandate that Corn be used to make Ethanol for fuel, could lead to a 40% to 50% rise in food prices!"
I hadn’t thought about it for meat but I did just order two more live traps for the critters.
This list comes under the category of “no duh”.
Too bad we poison cows w corn at all. Grass feed is everywhere.
Once we get our new freezer I’ll be getting a side of beef from a place near here. They cut it all up and vacuum seal it.
For weeks we have been reading news stories that beef prices are dropping as herds are thinned due to high corn prices.
But our local beef prices have not dropped a penny. If anything they are still going up.
Maybe the grocers haven’t read the same news stories.
If you live in North Texas or Southern Oklahoma, take a look at this:

They raise their cattle themselves.
Another helpful hint would be to take up hunting and fishing. I bought a few ribeyes last year and this year but mostly we eat wild game. I put three deer 4 hogs 2 turkeys, over a hundred lbs of catfish, dove, quail and an elk in the freezer last year. We eat good and have fun in the process, my wife loves to hunt and fish and so do I.
A couple of weeks back I was watering flowers on my deck and I had to let the water run a bit to get the hot water out of the hose. In an instant a hummingbird was two feet from my face taking a bath in my spray. It landed near by did some cleaning and repeated this bath two more times. The deer have lost their shyness, and I saw a fox yesterday eating wild plumbs.
Buy Lean - not necessarily, always calculate the percent of fat into the unit price
Avoid Pre-cut - agreed, how hard is it to form a patty
Buy In Bulk - not necessarily, compare the price of a side of beef with what you can get on sale at the store. I don’t pay over $3 lb. at the store.
Look for Markdowns - many stores aren’t doing markdowns anymore. My store is ordering less so when they run out, they’re out.
Try “Meatless Monday” - hmmm, guess it would be too Christian to stick with the old standby of fish on Friday
pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from Costco - Costco isn’t everywhere so I’ve never been to one. The only time I’ve ever bought a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken was many years ago when the store had a promotion that was cheaper than a whole uncooked chicken. Bought several and put them in the freezer.
Add Healthy Fillers - who wants to bet all other grain-stuffs will rise in price, not just corn. Maybe adding grains is a regional thing. We only add crackers to meatloaf and not as a filler but a grease soaker upper.
Consider a career in rustling.
Come to Texas and kill a feral hog or three for yourself.
End ethanol, nuff said...Those votes cost 75Cents a gallon....
I feel like a Soviet citizen reading Pravda not knowing what to believe.
There is terrible inflation, I know because I buy groceries. The media, including "conservative" media, doesn't seem to know about it.
What percentage of this terrible inflation is due to gas prices, etc. and what part has anything to due with rainfall?
Is this drought stuff real, or just global warming propaganda?
Can any Freeper advise?

I buy the “expiring today” meats that go on sale. I immediately freeze them. You have to watch that they’re not changing the dates (it pays to know someone at the market).
Obviously this is only for the everyday stuff. If I’m going to binge on a great steak, I’m going for the best money can buy.
My husband and his friend when frogging. I made his clean them in his hot rod shop. Yuck! I know they are a french delicacy. Need I say more.
