In the pork production world, NC is the 3rd largest in the US following MN and tops being IOWA.

There is this very BIG Chi-Com connection— and can tell you, when the takeover happened NC people stopped buying Smithfield== period.

This “shortage” can’t be connected to Chi-Coms continued invasion of US and Europ by weaponized Coronavirus.... could it?

“The Largest Pork Producer in the U.S. is Smithfield Foods, a wholly-owned subsidiary of WH Group of China, formerly known as the Shuanghui Group. Based out of Smithfield, Virginia, Smithfield Foods has 55,000 employees, 40,000 in the U.S. and 15,000 in Europe. In 2019, Smithfield Foods generated $16 billion in sales.

Smithfield Foods consists of 530 company-owned and 2,100 contract farms in 15 states and produces nearly 18 million pigs annually. Sixty-five percent of farms owned by Smithfield Foods—203 and 139, respectively—are located in North Carolina and Missouri.”

Expected - the assault on meat begins, right about on schedule (with this bunch in power).

[jjotto]

Don’t panic.

Iowa alone produces around 50 million hogs per year.

Most Smithfield hogs are raised in NC and MO.

We have wild pigs eating our garbage and roaming around my yard at 3 am. The damn government won’t let us kill them.

Those who won’t raise an eyebrow as our country is annexed by CCP will fight to the death for that last pack of bacon.

This is hugh and series!

Lamb is almost unheard of in stores here.

[Starstruck]

Or stop eating pork. I stick to beef, chicken, lamb, and fish, enough there to keep me satisfied.

Why do I not care what keeps you satisfied and only care about what keeps me satisfied?

[sockmonkey]

Wow, I have 2 racks of baby backs in the smoker right now.

[tflabo]

Feral hogs anyone? I had a pulled pork smoked BBQ plate one time. Pretty good eats.

[Rebelbase]

“the takeover happened NC people stopped buying Smithfield== period.”

Short memories. Smithfield is the dominant pork product present in the majority of grocery chains I frequent here in NC.

[tflabo]
