Have a little food saved up just in case.

[KJV1611]

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.

Meat processing plants across the US are closing due to the pandemic. Will consumers feel the impact?
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.

If you have the freezer space it would definitely be worth stocking up on meat.

Looks like produce is going the same way.

The meat processing plant shutdowns are insignificant when compared to the total processing capability. The shut downs are short term, and plants that shutdown earlier in the month are reopening. Processing is already returning to normal.

If you are going to stock your freezer, go to a local butcher shop. You'll save money. Leave the processed meats in the store.

Fresh produce production is being affected by lack of demand. The field life of produce is very short, so you see many farms actually plowing under many acres of produce. This too will stop as the country reopens.

Farmer have major problems with the low market value of produce. When the price to harvest exceeds the sale price, produce will be plowed under. They need some type of help to pay for the harvest. There are a lot of harvest workers that need work. There are a lot of food kitchens that could use the produce.

That is sad news indeed. I much prefer fresh fruits and veggies to tinned goods....

I agree with ordering from local butchers and farmers markets. In my area you can order a side of beef butchered up and wrapped. It is great quality. I have done it in the past and shared with neighbours/friends. That makes it affordable. Our local sea cadets were selling butchers' bundles as a fundraiser. Shopping local whenever you can is a great way of supporting your community. You also can build up a relationship with your food chain.

I raise chickens and fish but I buy my beef from a local farmer... definitely better than processed.

According to the chairman of the board of Tyson Foods it's not the processing that's the problem, it's the whole food supply chain that's breaking down.

I’ve heard milk is being dumped down the drain, because people freaked out about getting the virus from milk so the demand has dropped off a lot which is causing dairy farmers to dump the milk down the drain, it’s shelf life isn’t very long either.

You don't think that this was a ploy to jack up the prices of meat? The only meat that has been on the shelves are 30, 40 dollar cuts of meat...

I think we do a little better here in CO. The House does not have authority over exports nor imports. That is your president all by his lonesome. You need to tell this to the people on this tread. Trump started that paying farmers not to grow B.S.! I know first hand about this, born and raised...

If you guys don’t know what agenda 21 is google it. It’s important to know what this is. It brings new light to what’s going on in the world right now.

I respect you KGV and I appreciate all the knowledge that you have given me. But I have been working on a lot of issues in Gov. There is no perfect solution but I feel in my heart that once Trump is gone things are going to get better Fast. You and I can make a difference. Your a bright guy KLV...

In the 70's they offered loans to the farmers to buy tractors,equipment ect. with and provided seed,support ect. with a guarantee to subsidize the crops. As time went on many of the farmers ended up loosing farms that had been passed down from grandparents. I thought when I saw this that it was a mistake to agree to do that.

Before the 70's people lived on land and raised farm animals,planted gardens. They hunted and fished and built houses. After the 70's that style of life began to undergo an https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradigm_shift in the way that we live and think. Today everyone chases the fast,big money. Not many cook meals from scratch nor do many build a house instead they cover the old roof with metal roofing and the outside with vinyl siding to hide it instead of fixing it.

In the great depression the people lived on farms and grew gardens and animals and so when the stocks crumbled they had the land and the food they grew to fall back on. We ate chicken and tomatoes,milked the cows and put it in a mason jar and tied a string around it and let it down the well into the cool water to keep it from going bad. In the fall when you butcher a hog can be packed in sugar cure in a wood box and, or smoked in a smokehouse. There's a difference in what you need a pressure caner for and just a hot water caner. Gee and haw was left and right but then the yoke and the trace chain and the implement need to be considered first,and if the mule cut a root,it will strain and pass gas,just keep going don't stop.

After the 70's and the paradigm shift the people forgot how to grow the soil. The schools were telling the kids that they could be anything they wanted and that they were teaching them to become just that. The world though went from a depression to an good time and then to a recession. Many of those children of the 70's today live in the cities in pursuit of that idea that was told to them in school of becoming those things they imagined.

In the city there can never be another depression.the stocks can never crumble again. The reason why is that you don't have a smokehouse,or a chicken,or a mule,or a garden. In the city you can go to the water and fish but since it's polluted your not supposed to eat it. There's no woods in the city to hunt in and your not supposed to discharge a firearm. It wont take long for anyone to realize that if they walk out on the patio or back yard it's just not enough space to grow enough food to eat.

In the old days if the economy crumbled and money was nonexistent then you would still eat the food you grew and drink the water from the well. If that man of sin came and said you could buy or sell with his mark you could opt out and still eat and drink water without his mark even if the economy crumbled. This is the price paid in being taught that you could become anything you wanted when all that was needed were taxpayers. The economy cannot crumble because Babylon is who sells the oil,and incense and such and it is said that no one would buy her merchandise anymore. Let her fail,let the ships captains and merchants tear their coats and cast dust in their hair. We act as though the Scriptures say it's not going to fall and that Babylon is to be healed.

The farming bills of the 70's were designed to eliminate small farms... and it did! This is part of Agenda 21.
