I raised a quarter million hogs before I sold.
It was even hard to put down very sick pigs, it must be heart wrenching to have to put down healthy market hogs by the thousands.
Some farmers are never going to recover, financially or mentally.
‘Restaurants can set up tables outside on the lawn or in the parking lot’
tables in the parking lot...? yeah, that’ll make for a great dining experience; watch cars driving by while enjoying a meal, can hardly wait...
Had 51 sows in a farrow to finish operation when I was 21. I got out when the big barns started going up. They were not pets but this today is just brutal. Fortunately pork and chickens will recover soonest. Beef is four years. There is some recovery there in spots but 2 more weeks time after time kills innovation.
Basic math and logic are gone from this forum. People will say anything. Crap that just 4 months ago was ridiculed if said in the context of Climate change, guns, or enviro regs is now accepted at face value by Fearpers.

Experts, trust THE EXPERTS
Dodgy terms such as “case Fatality rate”
“We are saving lives”
The cost is justified by “saving lives”
Act now even if we do not know shiite about the situation.
The Freapers got rolled. Now they are post haste justifying what they helped cause...tyranny. One Freaper now class the economy was tanked and lockdowns helped save it.
30 some years of Let Freedom Ring and now “I afwaid”
The heavily subsidized farming industry will survive and they could care less if you do. When you drive across the midwest it is shocking to see signs in these massive fields that have corporation names on them.
Dont think so... look up prices on farming equipment. Fox news should talk about the dollars in subsidies. They are assisting in never letting a crisis go without trillions in aid from your kids tables.
