why not deer?

At some point this is going to affect our feed grain prices big time. Perhaps should sell out the feed grains now.

Bigger is better mentality gets a reality check right between the eyes. I thought the barns were wrong from day one. Yes most agree the pork is barely edible, marinated in liquid manure. And the smell! Holy Sh*t! We can get it 12 miles away. More empty white elephants in the country side.

If it moves, shoot it, trap it! I don't like that thought.

Slow down. That works. Especially at dawn and dawn.

Leave the moose out of your killing shark frenzy. There hasn't been a reported case of CWD in moose yet.

Leave the coyotes alone. They are great mousers. With the exit from the livestock industry something moveable has to fill that prairie void. And it isn't the wildlife that's causing it.

Does anyone have non-sprayed feed barley or feed oats for US sale?

One Earth Farms stakeholders take notice.

Don't usually agree with you beetle but you have hit the nail on the head.

Add some of those other investment firms that overpaid for land when durum and wheat were high. Can't pay hundred thousand dollar salaries to these land managers for sitting on their duffs.

The hog industry: may it rest in peace. Pork production will be relocated to Brazil. The big problem comes in getting all of our grain out of here without domestic feed comsumption and the US market. Only so much rail capacity going west. As far as small pork producers: they were extinct a long time ago. Bottom line: expect lower prices for grains.

Maybe the days of export markets are over and the Dairy and Poultry model will be extended to pork and beef. I don't see any bankruptcy in those models and fair prices to consumers. Time to stop subsidizing food production when consumers only spend 10 percent of their disposable income on food.

ajl. Small pork producers are not extinked. Imho they are more under the radar. I approched a couple of producers with empty bioteck shelters to see if they were interested in selling one. They were not. Said the day will come when the hogs will be worth more and feed grains will be worth less. Olso know of some very small producers that sell localy. They always seem to get alot of free feed from farmers that have a bit of grain you cannot sell. Or cheap screanings. Can't wait to get mine for I am out of pork and won't buy from the store.

Once all major producers are all broke mega barns will be back. But Cargil will own them and the hogs and the packers. Setting the price for feed to feed the cattle that they already own and the hogs.

Think we will get rich?

[Hopperbin]

Well the corporate grain farm here just put their canola bags in the bottom of a water run again. Last year they pushed one whole bag into a slough. Their help one does not need.

[may-be]

Think we will get rich?? Not if your going to grow cheap feed.

Parsley, are you looking for "transition" grains or certified organic?

[parsley]

Query. Feed buyers. Huge. Export. Main thing is no GM. Fd Bly. Cert Org. Possibly transition, too. Farmer integrity important. Looking to establish conmtracting and continuity. Eight bucks at the farm.
