Well well well, we work our back side off to feed people in these uncertain times and guess what CHEAP FOOD IS BACK IN STYLE AGAIN!
But wait in the grocery store its still up up up. Yet the price farmers receive is going down down down.
Pork farmers get paid pennies going broke yet pork in store is selling for a premium.
Beef in tank yet still premium.
Last time i looked they weren't blowing out canola oil as a lost liter. 3 for a dollar.
Seems only farmers who still made money the last year was dairy. Protected industry. HMM
As I see it if the world keeps subsidising US farmers and EU to over produce Where is the incentive to cut your costs, Simply its not their, yea yea they watch costs like rest of us but no incentive at all to say to Chem and Fert companies go to H E Double hockey sticks.
But as we start into this harvest where all the pressure is on us farmers who spent a fortune to grow a crop and each day we listen to the market reports of prices tanking and tanking hard.
So whats a farmer to do, sit back and take it like we all do, Yes as long as every other farmer does nothing nothing will ever change. Price takers get the shaft over and over again.
So to all have a safe and enjoyable harvest again stay safe slow down.
But the clock is ticking only 7 weeks till November 1st.
