Those “three big packers” know _exactly_ what is gonna happen next—they need to get what they can while they can....
Those three big packers are acting like google and apple in the phone market.
What surprises me is the Biden admin is going after meat since the monopolistic/oligopolistic behavior of the packers is going to result in less meat production and consumption but linearly programmed maximum profits.
While they are at it look at the Cargils and Conagras of the world.
Why does a US lemon cost 85c here in the US and the same damned US lemon is exported to central america and it is sold for 25c? There are bigger logistics costs to get it to the export market.
While I am at it, why in the hell is there a sugar import tariff? Corn syrup is vastly inferior as a sweetner in 90% of applications but subsidizing the beet industry and the Cargils and Conagras of the world is AOK I guess.
