I agree, bacon prices are horrible.

Mainly it would hurt those corp hog farmers in Colorado but they were bought out by the Japanese so it will hurt Japan more that us and cheapen up pork for the rest of us.

.......
the chinese bought the biggest us pork company about four years ago.

China and Brazil have been buying up the meat processing plants. This week beef was at .50 cents a pound. At its height a couple years back it was up, trying to remember but think at around $2 a lb. That is when beef prices in the supermarket went sky high. The prices dropped at the sale barn but never dropped at the store. What do you bet it is China and Brazil pocketing all that.
