Bill Bullard of R-CALF USA breaks down how Big Meat flipped the beef market upside down — wiping out producers while charging consumers record prices. “When consumers were paying $2.40 per pound for beef, 60 cents of that dollar was going back to the producer… less than 40 cents

It’s hard to believe Rural America stuck its head in the sand when us “crazies” told them for decades the eventual end of this consolidation was imported lower cost food or foreign multinational corporations owning what’s left of production systems in US.

Sadly, I do believe that the climate is changing and that change is due to an explosion of greenhouse gas emissions over the last 200 years, creating a denser layer of insulation that holds onto the sun’s heat more effectively than previously. This is a pretty simple process and

The most concerning issue to me is the accelerating consolidation of control — where a handful of corporations now dominate seeds, chemicals, processing, and distribution — creating a fragile, centralized system vulnerable to economic, ecological, and geo-political shocks.
