My daughter and her husband own a pig farm. Last night they were telling me of new regulations that could very well put them out of business. There is actually something regarding the “social” aspect of the pigs. How they are to be treated if they’re misbehaving, etc.
The animal rights and environmentalist are going to put an end to free markets and capitalism. The regulations being inflicted will drive people out of business. They even tell my son-in-law how high his grass is allowed to grow and in what proximity to his barns it can exist. He’s looking at $$$$$$$ to cage his light bulbs a certain way. They are forced to update two generators (which are working perfectly fine) or he cannot get fuel delivered - another $4,000.00 needlessly.
What on earth does it take to fight this?
I have a pig farm in the Philipines- hardly any regs over there-just inspection-keep it really clean and healthy-and grease inspector`s palm a little; easy to make a profit- feed is s cheap, hardly any overhead and Pinoy family/part owner manages it= $500 3-oinker investment yields 1500$USD. multiply by couple thousand prokers is a lot of bacon.

Bigger British companies in Phils export to rest of Asia. No taxes neither coz runs thru Pinoy family account and $$ stays in Phils.

A friend of mine ran into this problem. He started a egg farm by borrowing money from his chicken supplier’s bank. He worked hard and paid it off.
The day he paid it off, the supplier (and bank owner) demanded upgrades before he would bring in new chickens. Back to the chicken supplier’s bank to borrow money.
He then worked hard and paid the loan off again. Then the supplier demanded more upgrades, so back to the bank.
If he went to a different bank for the loan the chicken supplier would have dropped him immediately as the supplier owned the bank.
After about 15 years of this cycle he sold out and has not raised a chicken since.
At this point in the game? Bullets.
I wish I were joking.
