Supply and demand. They only grow enough to keep it profitable. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 48014693 The USA is nowhere near max food production mode. If they maxed out what could be grown we would be in the neighborhood of 3 times more produced in every average year. This year they will destroy crops and will refuse to even plant as many crops as usual. For profit farms do not operate like your back yard gardens. It is never the intention of for profit farms to grow as much as possible unless the price is high enough to make money doing it. I used to get about a quarter ton a week in rotting or expired parishables from one small grocery store for my pigs. Whatever they couldn't donate to the food bank got dropped off 1-3 times a week in the back end of my driveway. Last Edited by 11bpatriot on 04/06/2020 02:41 PM It's all about ID2020! |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 51754266 There are plenty of organizations this food could be given too, hell some of the charities, temples and churches will even BUY excess foodstuffs for the people they serve. I know this because when I and a family member used to work in food delivery, our refused loads or cancelled loads were always able to be sold to such local organizations. you just dont get it and never will... continue on with blaming the wrong people. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 55611245 As demand for hotel and restaurant food goes down, demand for home consumers will go up. They will need produce for home shoppers. Destroying crops will create a food shortage. Same as toilet paper. No longer using the restroom at work or school means people are using home bathrooms about 3-5 times a day more per family member. Luckily, the wholesalers don't care if it's an office janitorial company or a household buying their TP by the case. Exactly this. My concern is that it’s twofold. People are eating canned goods and frozen stuff at home and not buying fresh produce... So not only are they not eating the fresh produce which is going to waste, they are burning through the canned and frozen food supply so they don’t have to go to the grocery store. But wouldn’t canneries-food packaging demand more veggies for their depleted stock? Is it yet another supply chain issue? So we’re supposed to believe that people just stopped needing food Since they’re not going to the restaurant. This shite just doesn’t add up. ‘Whenever people agree with me, I always feel I must be wrong.’ ———Oscar Wilde |

"Growers said efforts to find retailers or food banks failed, forcing them to plow under their crops. Without immediate aid from government stimulus funding, they said they will have to destroy more food." We are doomed because people come to conclusions and make idiotic declarations based on on their own imaginary scenarios and emotions based on them without objective evidence for them. The goal of worldwide Agriculture is to provide a balanced supply to meet the demand + a reasonable surplus to deal with yearly weather variability to assure Food security and to maintain a profitable price to cover expenses. Read the International and National Agricultural Reports - They always provide demand vs supply statistics and trends. The Earth is nowhere near it's limit to grow food. Most arable land is still forest and scrub brush lands. Only 20% of currently utilized arable land is used for Grains, Fruits, Nuts, and Vegetables. This includes course grains for use as feed for animals. The remaining 80% of current arable land is used for Animal grazing which is predominated by Mutton and Beef Production by a large %. If more crop demand occurs, this grazing land can easily be converted to crops and Mutton and Beef meat production can be converted to more efficient Meat production land use by increasing Dairy, Poultry (Chicken, ducks, turkey, etc. ) and egg production while increasing World Animal based Protein from current with no increase in currently utilized available arable land use leaving all the unused arable land still in scrub brush and forests unused but still available for more Agricultural use in the future.. Thanks for the other cogent objective comments by others. The world is not coming to an end .....Yet and there is no intrinsic lack of food based on available land or even demand in the market.

It's dumb to depend on corporate farms for our food supply. They poison the food anyway, and a lot of the food they are talking about dumping is food that people have stopped eating because it's poison, like milk, canned tomatoes (BPA leaching in the lining), corn... They're gonna shoot themselves in the foot with this one as people turn to local, non-poisonous supplies and learn to cook and preserve again. Fuck those corporate farmers. Let them starve.

Stores are now running out of milk and limiting purchasing . The few dairies left are dumping milk.Why cant our dump shit Pres. put someone in charge who knows how to organize ,like the military who are experts at legestics. The only people left around him are yes men with no experience. THis milk going down the drain could be going to food banks, nursing homes, hospitals and any where needed. Farm prices are so low it wont pay to plant,but those can get crop loans will, and NO the government will not bail us out.THe 2cents a bushel subsidies last year was a slap in the face. Farm bankruptcies are at record highs,sueisides the same. One out of every 5 kids goes to bed hungry each night. WE can do better! |

Thread: + KEEP AN EYE ON THE FARMS - Communists are planning to STARVE those who do not accept the VACCINE - ( you have been warned ) + There has to be a way to distribute to food banks. When I drove home from getting groceries at 8am on Saturday morning, the lines were over a mile long for FAFSA food distribution. People were lining up at 7am (I know because I went to the store at 7am and was on my way home at 8am). There were about 20 cars early, and the lines at 8am went down 2 local streets as far as you could see, and I would guess the line to the north was a mile or more long, and the line to the west was more than a quarter mile long & were still coming up the road as I drove to the west. I live in a flat area in the Southwest USA, so you can see for miles. Some one has to come up with a way to get food that is slated to be dumped, as long as it's fresh, to people in need. Get it onto airplanes, or trucks, and get it out of there to people in need. We have the best minds in the world in the USA....now get busy and feed people! |

It costs money to harvest crops and it costs money to take them somewhere and distribute them. It costs money to insure volunteers from town to come in and pick the crops and then it costs again to clear up the mess that volunteers make. Farmers destroy crops every year for one reason or another. IT it part of farming. *** Good deeds bring rewards, bad actions bring troubles. That is a law of the universe. *** |

It cost them almost $5 a box to pick, gas, package, and store tomatoes. Would you invest $5000+ of your own money PER ACRE of tomatoes to harvest if you knew you couldnt get it back? Especially after you have already invested $2000 PER ACRE to plant and grow them? They have already lost tens of thousands this year, and are scared to plant anymore.. They normally plant 5 times a year.. |
