'The food supply chain is breaking,' Tyson says as plants close
CNN ^ | 26 April 2020 | Rob McClean

New York (CNN Business)Tyson Foods (TSN) is warning that "millions of pounds of meat" will disappear from the supply chain as the coronavirus pandemic pushes food processing plants to close, leading to product shortages in grocery stores across the country. "The food supply chain is breaking," wrote board chairman John Tyson in a full-page advertisement published Sunday in The New York Times, Washington Post and Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.

US farmers don't have anywhere to sell their livestock, he said, adding that "millions of animals — chickens, pigs and cattle — will be depopulated because of the closure of our processing facilities." "There will be limited supply of our products available in grocery stores until we are able to reopen our facilities that are currently closed," Tyson wrote.

Actually he’s not - he wants the reopening specifically because of food chain issued and he already ordered the state department to support and bail out the US oil companies as they can. But there’s not much you can do when there’s a world glut - but thanks for your concern

TYSON is tied to CHINA. It’s high time to support local farmers and butchers.

This story is definitely getting ginned up as the next fear-porn pushed by the MSM. If there isn’t a shortage, they hope to panic people into buying then they can report on the shortage, which will panic more people into buying.

The real virus is the MSM.

BTW - I will point out, again, to the fearbros that this is exactly what would happen if we did the shutdown.

I’d welcome a couple steers. I’d butcher them myself. Knowing how to do this helps a lot. LOL.

He’s a notorious germophobe and he’s scared to death. It took three years to build the strongest economy in the world, but only a month to make it worse than Obama’s - much worse.

IF he does anything, he’s irresponsible and killing people deliberately (according to the media) and acting like a dictator (according to Democrats). The powers that be have painted him into a corner deliberately. Darned if he does, darned if he doesn’t.

Funny thing. Have not noticed quite as many deer or Canadian geese in the area. Wild turkey flock not around either.

Very nice Mr. Tyson. You are deliberately instigating a panic that will cause hording. Even if what you say is true your ad is irresponsible. F*** you Sir!

....

I’m laying this mess at the feet of Trump! He’s allowing the decrees of Fauci and Birx to destroy our economy!

Btw, where is Trump at? He hasn’t said crap about our oil industry being destroyed, meat production in serious trouble, and Americans having their lives destroyed!

Trump is allowing this to continue!

I find it hard to believe a feedlot would kill a few steers or even hogs. It would be cheaper to feed them than to lose the whole steer.

So the board chairman of Tyson is only now just noticing the supply chain is broken. It’s been broken almost from the beginning of this shutdown as anyone who visits supermarkets more than just occasionally would know. And it’s broken for more than food items. And it seems to be getting worse instead of better.
