Plus it's not like you can replace the crops next week IF demand improves, once gone, they're gone until NEXT harvest (after tilling, planting, fertilizing, watering, growing, weeding, harvesting). That MUST mean a GAP somewhere in the chain.

exactly, i have a consumer goods manufacturing company and laid off 120 people. People say. gee it'll bounce back. NOOOOOTTTTTTTT my sales cycle is up to 1 year for product. Massive orders have been cancelled for the rest of the year that CANNOT be made up. and future shutdowns are looming. This isn't a once and done virus.

EXACTLY. SO many other considerations that simply "supply" and "demand". Yet our leaders, I guess, though aware, think we (public) can't handle the truth? SO MANY things that are not considered? It's why I PREPARE for life WITHOUT government leadership. I hope you have too.

Price of milk has gone up where I'm at.
I saw something earlier, about a plan by the govt to purchase the products directly from the farmers and send it all to food banks. It was on yahoo, and of course they aren't showing that article right now... Anyway, if that is true, I hope it truly helps these farmers.

Fuck that. Prisons should be hard labor 15 hours a day and prisoners should only be served bread, water, rice and beans. Prisoners shouldn't get that jewish magazine where they order all kinds of good food. They also shouldn't be allowed to have video games i ntheir cells. The prisons must be totally redone.

I buy meat from a small local farm. I no longer trust mass market meat. I get produce from same farm in summer and a health food market near me. You would think prices sky high, they are not. And fantastic quality. If you can do it, find a farm and buy local. Get a freezer and stock up.

yep, some have websites, but most are on craigslist, bookface marketplace etc.... I think we are heading back to decentralized local food production and sales, which will be a good thing that comes out of this.
