Quote HistoryQuoted: I grew up on a hog operation. None of the rural people out here complain. It’s only the city people who moved to the country for “fresh air” and “quiet” who bitch, moan and complain. We get what you’re saying, but it’s simply not how it works in small rural communities. So, if you were there first, and a hog farm (foreign-owned, no less) moved in next door and stunk the place up, you'd be cool with that? I wouldn't. |

Quoted: That’s why we raise our own. Quoted: Yup. Got hogs, turkeys, chickens and growing the cattle operation on my farm. We grow it, keep some for ourselves and sell the rest as a custom pork/poultry/beef operation. You buy the live animal, I take it to the local butcher for you and you pay the butcher fee. We end up making more per animal in profit and it’s lower cost per lb for our customers.

All processed by Tyson, Smithfield, or con agra. People associate Tyson with chicken but its a major beef processor as well. Having been involved in grocery store management for years all your beef,pork and chicken, regardless of the label name shown, comes from the big three.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I get the sentiment, but those are american workers getting laid off. When they bought out the family that owned the. Years back, there were concerns about them shutting down production here. But they decided to scale up and they began to export a lot of pork. The town I live in the entire economy is centered around that company. Sure we would survive but that would throw a wrench in the spokes so to speak. Everyone wants to be quick to throw out that edgy post, and I am with you on the Fuck China sentiment. But there is a bigger picture here. And yes, critical infrastucture, food plants, and realestate should not be owned by foreign national companies. Farmland owned by the ChiComs inside the USA is stupid beyond belief unless of course your goal is to Holodomor The USA...then it aligns perfectly with the world of Commies past. |

What's more strange about the Noel, MO closure is that its an Organic plant. It is one of the few plants filling the organic lines of chicken for both people and petrols (the "waste"). I wonder what all the Somali workers there will do now.
Its going to kill Noel though. There's two reasons anyone goes to Noel: they work at the chicken plant or somewhere the workers go (grocery store, restaurant across the street) or to float the river and camp. |
