Florida Braces For ‘Freeze-Mageddon’ As Citrus Growers In Cross-Fire
Not that long ago they were just dumping milk down the drain.
You can freeze milk, btw. If you have the space.
This going to have a muted impact as fewer Americans drink cows milk.
Start the shortage rumor, raise the price; no one’s the wiser.
Maybe Dairy Farms are on the decline as people retire and sell their operations.
This leads to consolidation & larger holdings with better pricing for the remaining dairy industries.
Here’s a scenario, a dairy farmer sends his children to college. After sitting in classrooms for 4-6 years, they decide the dairy business is “beneath them.”
They can receive better pay and compensation with less work, doing important stuff like scientific research for governmental-environmental regulatory companies.
It seems like many Americans want great pay for nonessential employment, while hoping a slave/grunt somewhere on the planet produces enough wealth for everybody. This model, the parasite model will fail every time and all the time, its unsustainable.
There is too much “do nothing” nonessential fat in the economy of the United States.
Buy powdered milk. Doesn’t taste that great, but you can use it for cooking.
Florida citrus is already suffering from globalism...which brought an invasive insect (from China, I believe) that carries the Lethal Yellowing pathogen that causes citrus trees to turn yellow, produce ugly, sour fruit, and die. Doesn’t take the trees long to die once infected! I lost my whole orchard.
Naw, that should be good for orange juice prices. Frozen oranges are used to make juice.
