agree mostly. however extended shutdowns is going to ruin many producers as demand is down. people eat less when limited to grocery, and also economic damage people will be spending less. I think there will be lots of supply destroyed, namely smaller farmers. There is an opportunity for them to sell direct if they get some marketing going. But how they get around regulation for dairy, meat etc...is another subject. It's time to open up some more local meat markets and processors!

the foodservice distributors have to be getting killed, Sysco, US foods etc... that biz has been decimated.

we'll be the last country to ever starve but things will be severely impacted from what they were.

I wish local independent butchers would come back. It's been harder and harder to find a local butcher that is an independent (I don't know of any near where I live now). I preferred going to them, the meat was much better because they were usually selling their own animals that they raised. Now, it's all grocery store chains or big box stores.

look on craigslist, FB marketplace, or web search. they're out there. There will be many more after this disaster. so much better and cheaper. I got 28 day dry aged for under 7 bucks a lb on average. steal of a deal. custom cut, wrapped and delivered.
