The prices the beef and pork farmers are getting at auction here are terrible. They are losing money on every head. The mostly foreign owned meat packers and grocery stores are making all the money on the farmer's labor and investment. Last week at Degraff, boar hogs were down to 1 cent a pound and sows and market hogs were very low too. Choice fat Angus steers have been paying barely over a dollar a pound for weeks. https://www.facebook.com/JacksonLivestockAuction/Keith

The slimmer margins benefit the huge operators and weed out the little guy,I would imagine like any other industry.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Several neighbors have sold off their heard and are now just crop farming. Most are close to retirement age and just want to scale back.
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

government is buying them for 2300 bucks a head to bring on the nationwide food shortage same reason 97 food processing plants/farms have burnt since Biden has been in office. What does the Gov have to gain from a food shortage, I don't doubt you, just don't understand.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

The slimmer margins benefit the huge operators and weed out the little guy,I would imagine like any other industry. if your competing with the big guys in the same game, change the game and you'll win. Small farms that have various streams of income are better positioned to survive. Its not the yeild/acre that matters, its the cost to produce that matters more.

What does the Gov have to gain from a food shortage, I don't doubt you, just don't understand. Politicians receive huge amounts of money from the enormous, foreign owned meat packers for making it prohibitively difficult for any competition to start, that would lower their profits. Keith
