    Places that package mostly single serving for school lunch and restaurant are pretty much out of the market, and they absorb a good share, normally.

    Brother and nephew still have cows.

    A very sad day here at Diehl Trucking......after nearly 42 years of hauling milk.....we were told today for the first time to dump two full loads of milk. The uncertainty of the world has hit the dairy industry. The lack of demand for milk and milk products and plants that process have been hit by sickness.
    Please keep all in your thoughts and prayers ❤️

    This is down in my area.
    A little south and east of Syracuse ny

    Sorry to hear that.
    We are slowing down on the pig hauling but that's mostly because the slaughterhouse going into overdrive the one I go to alot broke down just about ever other day do to over working the machines in the last week.
    I cleaned out about 6 or 7 barns in the past couple weeks now im down to one or two load a day if I'm lucky. Been hearing if they keep going at this rate well might not have anything to move for a couple months but we'll get there when we get there

    Very interesting, the food chain is the most important part of our economy. Can’t survive without it. The reality hasn’t sunk in yet. Only starting. Hard to imagine what to expect.

    As long as there are Americans that are free and willing to work there will be no serious problems that we can not overcome.
