Food prices

Mad Mike said:
My brother is a chicken farmer with a 25k bird quota. He also farms 300 acres of family land and 3200 more of rented land. I have a little visibility into operation and economics.

Quota systems benefits older farm owners, nobody else. There are few businesses the govt guarantees height profit and near zero risk.

I don’t disagree on the quota system aspect but that doesn’t equate to farmers making ridiculous profits. It just means no one else can buy in until someone else is ready to sell.

I can’t speak to your brother’s chicken farm but tell me how many people would like to work the long hours and hard labour most farmers do for what is in my experience not a huge return monetarily.

I’m aware there are some farms that turn huge profits but IME it is not the norm.

Stopped off at the Scottish bakery to pick up some pies 'n such when I was in the Falls yesterday. Prices have increased 25% across the board since I was last there (month or so).

Chicken farmers don’t work hard, plus they only keep the chicken for just over 30 days and then it goes to process.

Then usually 2 to 3 months later they get another batch of chicks. Most farms are on automated systems

Sounds like we should all be trying to make friends with older chicken farmers that are ready to retire. Jump on that gravy train.

I’ve got a good buddy that farms over 300.000 chicks in one 30 day cycle
 
i Haven’t seen chicken in the stores down here for over a week, but prices had increased by well over 50% in the last three months.

Shelves are bare and in some stores there have been physical fights over what’s left on the shelves. who would have thought that you would ever see this in the US. It’s like a third world country.

A lot of stores are also shutting down as people just walk in, fill up a cart and walk out. No one does anything and the cops just watch as they are ****** at the city councils for wanting to cancel them and won’t get involved In case they end up on trial.

Our way of life is ending. Just get a compound and an AR15 as the zombie apocalypse is coming.

WTF. Not even sure how to ask what’s going on down there to cause this? Especially the shortages on the shelves…and where is this in the US?

The downfall of the West. Woke idiots, cancel culture, defund the police, decriminalize shoplifting, victim blaming, the oppression olympics. Wont be long before there are no stores left in certain areas and you can probably guess who will be blamed for it.

Yes, California. I think its a combination of things.

There is a months long backlog at the Port of Los Angeles where most goods from Asia come in so Walmart, etc. have no stock, but that's more for consumer goods. Many ships are being diverted to Vancouver. While ships are sitting idle there are no goods being moved.

The supply chain for fresh food has completely broken down. I think that is probably more Covid related.

People are also just walking into stores, filling bags and carts and walking out and people just watch. This is from ABC (Disney) who are quite left so its not only FOX that's reporting on it.


Still if you can do it with no consequences why not.

Drug stores are the thing that really pisses me off. They just walk behind the counter and walk away with hundreds of thousands of $ of medication that people need to live.

It sort of reminds me of this...

 
That’s effed @Delboy but that video shows what appears to be simple crime, not people taking food because of a shortage.

While I understand your point, the news spin is a bit off. Hell I can say ‘shortages at the LCBO’ are causing people to steal bottles without paying due to frustration’.

This is orgainzed theft for sure.

But I think Food is being severly impacted by Covid...

Although, if you are good at marketing...

Here the police don't show up in a hurry unless a gun is involved. For shop lifter / break and enter the guy is gone leaving only a fuzzy picture of someone in a hoodie and baseball cap. What employee is going to risk injury for a minimum wage that won't give him a roof over his head.

Crime, punishment, education, politics, and most of our world problems, read below.

A Costco Executive membership actually might sense for a family of three now.

Membership fee: $120.00
2% back required to recoup $120.00 = $6,000

So if you spend ~$500 a month on groceries you come out on top
