[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1454900, member: 25884"] The Mennonites here in the Shen Valley are all talking about money and milk prices etc.; and they never used to say a thing about money in any form. They are also being squeezed so tight that there are some that are going out too. The thing here now is the poultry houses going up on land that was once grazing and crop land for cattle. It's all controlled by the companies that handle the poultry business. They will guarantee a contract for 7 years....but it will take a farmer 15 years to pay off the cost of the building....what happens if they don't get their contract renewed????? And no sooner do the farmers get it paid off then the poultry company requires some renovations, or want you to convert from hens to toms or vice versa....and there are more renovations to do.... Yep, it is vertical integrating and all about control.... [/QUOTE]
