    Farmers dumping milk on the ground. Butter and cheese producers they sell to are set up for restaurant packaging and can't easily or quickly convert to consumer packaging. 7% of milk production dumped.

    Dairy cows being sent to slaughter.

    Farmers plowing under vegetable crops.

    Poultry operations disposing of laying eggs due to dropped restaurant demand. May start killing and burying chickens.

    Pork producers going from profitable bacon production to lard production - due to, you guessed it, restaurant demand drop. They also cannot switch to consumer packaging easily.

    Simply insane. Thanks to the mass hysteria.

    Some of this would bother me more if I hadn’t said spent 30+ years seeing farmers grow corn year after year just to let it burn and collect the insurance.


    “Lost crops” seem to be a business model.

    There was a time 45-50 years ago that we were paid not to grow crops on our farm.

    Today’s numbers for Texas show total of 8,562 total positives and 1,252 hospitalized. That’s about a 15% serious illness rate because the hospitalized numbers were all tested. On the flip side the 8,262 positives represent 9% of the 88,649 tested in Texas.

    So, at this point, even if we include the major metro areas, there is currently a 9% chance of testing positive and, if you are positive, an 85% chance of having no or minor systems.

    Run for the bunkers, brothers!!!

    Some pretty smart physicians think the most serious cases are attributed to a cytokine storm, and are exploring how to control that.

    That other article posted got me interested in why some meds work and I read an article like this last night.

    I’m really interested to read about all of this several months after it dies down. Hopefully we get some factual insight about all these theories and what worked and didn’t.
