"We Can't Give Our Product Away" - Farmers Toss Thousands Of Acres Of Fruits, Veggies As Sales Plummet

Exactly. They're laid up on their asses drawing disability or some shit or working construction jobs for cash. This is all a bunch of horseshit. I'll grow my own. Fuck these motherfuckers!

At a local market that normally sells overstock dry goods I bought 2 cases of Bananas, 2 cases of Strawberries and 2 cases of tomato's for $20.
They were $5 a case or 3 for $10.

All my friends, neighbors, family and coworkers now have strawberries, Bananas and tomato's.

These were large cases that normally go to restaurants.

Also, aren't these bastards subsidized by the federal government?

One Green Karma point and a for not only thinking about your fellow human being but kind enough to share your extras with your fellow human being, Jeff 43. May you survive the later Christian Apocalypse events.

Lets pray the sme happens to the big pharma industry

And I MEAN KET US PRAY
AMEN YEH

OMG, this is terrible. I was about to ask why they would do this as grocery stores are still operating but I didn't think about restaurants and hotels which buy must massive quantities of food.

I wanna know where all the damn flour is though...everybody wanna bake bread and cookies but don't wanna buy fruits and veggies? I waited 2 weeks for King Arthur to ship 15lbs of flour and probably going to wait another for fedex to deliver.

My GOD, you people are so stupid it hurts my brain.

Just stop. You have no idea what you are talking about.

Stop being so fucking stupid. Please

The total number of people isn't changing that much so the demand for food shouldn't be changing that much.

Subsidy gap- no one in any business should get subsidies. If you want to bitch about capitalism you're in the wrong country.

Yes that post above has a ton of idiocy.

you are not a licensed food service business.

Socialism 101. Everything is free but there isn't any. This is Breakdown Point. Poeple will eventually realize it maybe. Are you waiting for the next shipment?

And someone gets hurt or sick.Cant see why they arent chomping at the bit to take on that liability for nothing.Greedy farmers.......

So there ya go, we've got folks like AC902 who will post a large number of quotes then say, Stop, ya'll is hurting my little knoggen, but they do not an effort to educate those that are accused of being stupid.

It's been said several times over the course of three pages that:
1. Farmers are greedy and want slave wage labor.
2. The product for the 'Consumer Super Market' supply chain is still entering the pipeline with out interruption; the root of articles, such as the one posted by OP'ie, is to get folks to panic and hoard again and absorb product not being sold to restaurants and dining establishments due to the effects of State orders to shutter their business.
3.Product going to waste is due to shuttered business, not to supply chain problems. While a portion of the excess produce is being given away, the shipping is not free. In Louisiana, food banks are being asked by donators to, "Pick up on site".

When you see articles such as the one OP'ie has linked to, take them with a very large grain of Salt. Use what ever common sense God, the Earth, Ya Mom en Dem, or what ever it is you believe in, to ask the question, what's not being said, what is the motivation, what is the rest of the story.

As Dr. Gregory House always says, "Everyone Lies".

You'll be required to get a certificate from your state DHH office (2 to 6 months waiting time. You'll also need a general business Lic. that would allow you to sell / make donations door to door. If you're doing this as a charitable, you'll need 501 certification else you'll need a state and county tax certificate, and pay tax on the 'inventory'.

You'll also be required to carry insurance and maybe a bond. You'll need a proper commercial vehicle (road use tax paid).

Your best bet is to tie up to a church

That is awesome! We need to look after each other.

Good luck keeping the goats out of your garden!

This is really awful.

first 5 replies are retarded consoomers who didnt read the article.

my heart goes out to them. a lot of them will be forced out of buisness.
this is actually horrible

If local farmers told me. We have fresh produce, come pick it. I would get enough and feed myneighbors etc.

Awesome now what are they going to do with the other 999,950 pounds of produce?
