I'll assume those growers are probably fairing better right now. Takes longer to grow them without the 'roids.
Most of the birds we haul are not purchased directly by the end consumer. Most of ours are purchased at restaurant level. From what I understand, Publix only sells one line of our chicken and Walmart doesn't carry any of it.25(2)+2 and tommymonza Thank this. -
I read a similar one. It was talking about dairy farmers dumping half their milk and veggie farmers plowing 80% of their crop back into the fields because they couldn’t sell it. Between school closings, restaurant business being down upwards of 80%, and hospitals not accepting non Covid-19 patients, they don’t have a market for it. You’d think they would find a way to dehydrate all of that instead of letting it go to waste, but what do I know.rickyboricky and buzzarddriver Thank this.

Its returned to regular hit or miss out here. However I agree with the earlier post that you will see another run on stores. Produce will be the next big demand.
