[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1742087, member: 24816"] Bottom line it ain’t the cattle producer, it’s not the feeders, The retailers are having to pay more for the products and thus pass that on to the consumers. That leaves the packers being the ones that are making money on both ends. I will never understand why even some on here will always make excuses for them. They are destroying the industry and agriculture as a whole by monopolizing as much of it as they can. Which is and will be causing more expense to the consumer. If current events don’t make it clear, I don’t know what will, our food supply is a national security issue if there ever was one. We should be raising and producing as much of our food as we can and no foreign owned companies should have anything to do with it. We should only be importing what we need to make up the difference. The industry model needs to change and go back to the local levels as much as possible. There are so many added links to the chain and added transportation that it is not sustainable. The family farm is becoming extinct fast. That is not good for local economies, and if the monopolies had not been allowed to interfere, many local economies and small farmers may have been thriving today or at least still going. [/QUOTE]
