How about we start patronizing our local hometown butcher shops to purchase our meat and then we might know exactly where our beef/poultry/pork etc. is all coming from. Keep the business local if possible.

Yet we are still exporting hundreds of thousands of pounds of pork to China weekly. Pork prices have cratered in the last month - 23-27# hams were trading at $85/hundred weight at the end of february. At close today they were $30.33/hundred weight. What better way to get prices up than production standstill. If there is to be a short term shortage, shutoff exports until everything is back to normal, kind of like they are doing for PPE - like masks and ventilators

Thankfully I get my beef from a real local guy/farm and (hopefully) we still have the small/local plants willing to butcher. Good grief, I'm so over this virus...what's next?

The deal was the largest ever takeover of a U.S. company by a Chinese company,[4] roughly doubling the number of US jobs tied to direct investment by China.[7] Smithfield ceased to be publicly traded at the deal's completion.[4]
