“Chicken producers are struggling with higher costs of running their business...”
I would guess a large portion of the increase in costs is in feed...stop the wasteful practice of using corn for fuel - costs a lot to convert corn to ethanol for fuel and then the ethanol producers are subsidized...waste all around.
The chickens are comin’ home to roast.
I think Tyson is a major democrat contributor.
Well, take my cock and pullet.
Well they do need food for Greyhound One.
Everyone I know is buying & eating more chicken now than before. Beef isn’t on our menus very often anymore.
“The Department of Agriculture, keenly aware of these issues, announced Monday...”
“A chicken bailout?”
In case you hadn’t noticed, iron-grip control of the food supply, food prices and agriculture was achieved by the federal government in the 1930’s. This has been going on for that long.
Expect Holder to investigate whether brown chickens are being treated unfavorably.
There is somewhat of a contradiction here. First, if there is a glut of chicken, wouldn't the prices be falling which will encourage more eating of chicken. Leave the problem alone and it will fix itself. Too bad, Dims, you think you have to micromanage everyone and everything.
So I assumed that chicken prices have been falling and that is why a bailout is required Correct?

Was in the store the other day and noticed they had whole chickens going for $1.99! I didn’t buy any because I thought they must have been lying around for a long time to be going for that price!!!
“The USDA steps in occasionally to buy up food products that are in surplus supply in the market. By doing this, it helps shrink the glut of product, raise retail prices”
Thanks a lot assholes! Using my taxpayer dollars to deliberately drive up the cost for me to buy food!
Just another Obammunist vote-buying program at my expense.
Are you cocksure about it?
