Tyson Shuts Iowa Beef Plant Because There's Not Enough Cattle

5* and a bump.

Time for super beef price increase, as if it wasn't high enough!

This is what the lunatic food police want. Increase the price of the political incorrect food so the masses can not afford it.

It was only a matter of time. Beef has gotten prohibitively expensive here in Iowa. A pound of FATTY hamburger is $5.49. Any other cuts range upwards of $20 per pound. It is now cheaper for me to buy lamb imported from New Zealand than it is to buy beef raised in Iowa.

...and shit is only going to get worse.

This is the after affects of so many cattle having to be sold off during the drought in Oklahoma and Texas. It will take time to build those herds back. We have the bird flu causing havoc with poultry too. And now we have the drought in California and the mine leakage in Colorado causing havoc. Our food supply chain is very fragile. People need to grow as much of their own food as possible.

Being in the cattle business once in Colorado, I can tell you extended lack of water is a big problem. Especially for growing hay to feed the cattle.. without that, you have to truck it in, making it too expensive to operate long.

Plus the cows need water to drink.

So everyone reduces the herd to survive.

Tyson has done this with plants for years before
they got into the beef business.
They run tight and at full capacity at plants
or they shut them down.
They shut down the least efficient plants.
They're history with chickens is full of this
kind of thing.
Nothing wrong with it.

This will not end well.

And do you all remember what those low life BLM did to the Bundy Ranch Cattle????????????????
That was Deliberate killing all those cattle!

Who knows what other crap those BLM bastards done to other cattle herds!

Soon enough the drinkable waters will be undrinkable , the animals will be ALL gone.
AGENDA 21

Bananas - Beef - what's next?

beef has become ridiculously expensive. only seafood is more expensive.

Wasn't the Denison, IA facility also closed when it was owned by IBP?

Beef prices are down 20% in the grocery store I go to now. Spoke to the store manager about it (I'm in there like 4 times a week) and he said they're cutting all meat prices a lot to stay competitive with the 13 other grocery stores within the 3 mile radius.

I thought they crew corn there and not cattle?

They might think they braise cattle, but.....

no rain? look who is potus

They've already hit chickens ridiculously hard.

Beef is already higher than ever and been high for a long time- real easy to make it real expensive from here..

Food Inflation- food prices will continue to rise, but only faster now.

Colorado has decided that new housing units need water, but farmers do not. The farmers that need water to grow food are hurting, because they are low priority water users. New neighborhoods are popping up everywhere, and they get first shot at the water. This will end up with a lot of houses out on the prairie, full of corpses that starved for lack of food. Colorado is run by some of the stupidest socialist in the world. I think Californication sent their stupidest tree huggers to "save" Colorado.

Everything

or eating beans and rice

50 million illegals and their children in this country and we wonder why there is a food and water shortage.

I really hope people are starting to see the coming Clean Water Wars. And I also hope the GLP Effect will work.
