[QUOTE="greggy, post: 1625894, member: 38479"] Well, the only problem with that, is there is no problem till there is one. I get different feeds from different sources, one has dropped off a cliff as a lot of the clients served businesses like coffee shops and bakeries, they should be cranking right now which means plenty of by product to make feed.... I was overflowing with fruit and veg waste though, supermarkets were killing it, they are saying the buying is back to normal more or less now, the panic induced by the media reporting panic buying.....lol so yeah, some things are unforseen, and after being told all good a few weeks ago, that changed quick. One of the large feed producers were in a bit of a panic, not sure why as they are isolated and if paying by acc or even card, it becomes no contact in normal times, but it was put to me that if a few key staff in office and elsewhere were to go off at same time, it could be very disruptive, no doubt they were also scrambling behind the scenes to make sure transport etc would be kept up, severe drought for many years made things hard as it was, this just came along for extra stress testing :) One good thing here, is Ag was clearly set aside as essential, so anything tied to that could and would keep operating, I would imagine it is the same there, maybe it has not been relayed clear enough if yes ?
