[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1821970, member: 24816"] You’re right. The fit the box concept and all other stuff like tomatoes that are prioritizing made to ship rather than to eat, are indicative of where we have become once we got away from the concept of local production. Everything has gotten big and specialized into corporate multinational companies supplying national and international chain stores. I was in a local sheep meeting years ago and on the last a conversation about the tobacco industry came up after the meeting. It was at a time when contracts were starting to be the way of it. One of the men was saying that the big company had pretty much pulled out of the US as a result of all the tobacco lawsuits. They had rearranged their company to a global entity headquartered out of the country and we’re moving more of their production out of the US as well. Reason being he said was that new markets for selling tobacco products were opening up in other countries and those new to the products weren’t set on a certain quality product as were American smokers who were accustomed to our burley grown here.
