China's hungry cattle feasting on alfalfa grown on Utah farm

Wait I know that since “globalization” there has been less loyalty to our society, and neighbors among the business class, but didn’t this article say that the owner (though Chinese born) was a naturalized US Citizen? I see nothing wrong with him profiting off selling beef to China as long as he’s actually a loyal US Citizen.

F__ the free traders!

Trading with your enemies is not free trade, it is submission.

Our moral sell-outs are costing us dearly.

I looked at that a bit in my post #57

>> “They aren’t set up to be able to farm like the US can.” <<

No kidding!

They buried their best farm land behind a dam.

Exactly so. My dear old Marine uncle took a stroll across Okinawa once. Years later in a steel town in Ohio I heard reports of Japanese flags being flown over my city. Good thing I didn’t hear of this before hand, I would have been pissing on Japanese flags all day long.

>> “I know a guy who just gave away 140 bales of last-year’s alfalfa (to a horse-rescue outfit) because he couldn’t sell it, and needed the room for this year’s crop.” <<

.
That makes no sense at all.

Cattle ranchers in Nevada, and California are buying up all the alfalfa they can get for “finishing” their grass-fed beef, which is the last great hope for cattle ranching.

Affected?

That “damn” dam. Turned the Yangtze into an industrial waste sewer too.

Greenies? Where arrrrrrrrrrrre you???

>> “Careful. You are arguing for a free trade agreement with China.” <<

.
LOL!

Since Nixon’s 1972 rescue of China, we have had a “bend over and grab your ankles” trade agreement with China.

140 bales probably isn’t even one boxcar load.

>> “Thank Clinton first..” <<

Sorry, but you have to go back to “Tricky Dick” Nixon for this one.

It started as “pity China” (which was rather backward) but it kind of nursed up a monster.

[editor-surveyor]

You miss the point badly!

[HiTech RedNeck]

Meaning that China was rather backward.

[HiTech RedNeck]

What’s all this accusing about?

Might have been so little that working a deal with faraway beef producers wasn’t even worth it.

[editor-surveyor]

The over-all market should have had some effect just about everywhere.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Could it have been that he wasn’t in any open-ended contracts?

[editor-surveyor]

Meaning specifically that China had literally gone under, and freedom was about to win in a big way, until Nixon stepped in and bailed them out.
.

[DuncanWaring]

No I don’t; it means the supply is not where the demand is.

[editor-surveyor]

With as many long haul truckers out of work as we have, it should flow easily.
