It has finally happened my friends. Yesterday I came across an article where Trump had issued an order for meatpacking plants to reopen. NOW! This is a contradiction to the fact Ranchers are being told to cull their herds while beef from Namibia Africa. What in the hell part of their brain went down for that decision? Why are we importing beef when we have an amply supply here? We just have to get them moving. This is 50 shades of stupid. 

After watching Christian’s video at Ice Age Farmer, he brought to my attention that the National Guard is delivering food for food banks. Okay, for now, they are helping out with the growing demand for food banks across the country. We were already heading downing this path prior to the pandemic. No! The pandemic didn’t help. In the Fall we will the effects of the spring planting if we have one. Grocery stores are hustling to find beef and pork while the plants are empty and there is beef imported from Africa. This situation is so serious that Tyson has taken out an ad in The New York Times saying “the food supply chain is breaking”. Actually, it’s broke.
