  • "The price hikes are trickling down to a wide range of products, including organic chicken and soy milk. Experts told Reuters that chicken feed prices — which account for 65% of the cost of the bird — will rise 40% by the end of the year."

Organic soy prices in the US hit record highs

An 18% decline in imports has resulted in price hikes that may affect manufacturers of everything from soy milk to organic poultry, Reuters reported.

Not my president. Let’s go Brandon.
 
Our chicken prices are 3 fold since Biden took office. It started to come down but went up overnight. Now it is more expensive than ever. Beef is on the decline for now, but I'm sure that's temporary as well.
 
Bojangles chicken sandwich now $4.50 from $3.99.

China buys soy beans to feed their hogs.

If forget what event, but everyone was chanting F**K Joe Biden during an interview. At a sports event. The reporter said everyone is chanting Let’s go Brandon. So the more public friendly phrase has grown in popularity.

Funny, they never harvested any of the fields around me. Just planted it and left it there.

They sold the crop and delivery was not required. It would be unethical and illegal for them to harvest it.

Hmmm wasn't there a New about how the government is paying to farmers to Destroy their Crops?

Yup. It happens all the time.
I was a recruiter in Dothan AL. I was talking to a to a potential recruit about a career in the Army. He wasn’t interested and had a career lined up following his dad’s footsteps.
His dad had a job going to farmers fields to verify a specific crop was planted, maintained, and destroyed at the end of the season. The crops were chosen by the gov.
The explanation I was given was all was done to preserve crop land. Supposedly this program was developed after the dust bowl destroyed/removed all the topsoil from the farmland.
This is all hearsay and I have no way to confirm the young man was telling the truth. He sounded very informed on the subject. I have no facts to back up what I just typed.
 
Ok I googled a little. Please ignore my last post. It’s apparent now the young man had no interest in joining the Army. He had a good cover story to trip me up on my sales pitch.
 
On some occasions some farmers use to plant and till under certain crops in their rotation to improve the soil. It likely isn’t going on here but they making some good soil for next year’s non-crop …
 
Most soybeans have not been harvested yet. Plenty of time left. I guess North Carolina farmers were left out of this plow the soybean under payment. Show me letters from the agri department for this plow or mow down program.

Seems unlikely to be happening this year given global demand and small stocks. I'm decades out of the family business, my memory is of actions in the mid to late 1970's.

Yep its called a cover crop. You can't grow the same thing year after year on the same land without artificially replacing the nutrients with commercial fertilizers.

A better way is to plant a cover crop that will return nitrogen to the soil like hairy vetch, etc. Ideally different cover crops for 3-5 years before growing the same crop/product again. Obviously this is less productive so commercially grown food is full of chemical fertilizers. To get any different buy organic or from local small farmers markets.
 
MIL is flush with SB's in Arkansas. She can store and decide when to pull the trigger on sale. I told the wife to trend it and tell her when to sell. MIL has alzheimers.
