Start shipping to sell direct retailers like Omaha steaks and others, they are popping up like crazy. Restaurants won’t be the same for 2 years or more.
Fox News showed it on the news, I could not believe my eyes. Personally I think it is outrageous what these farmers are doing.
Note: this strategy does not involve government. Just ignore government.
Restaurants need to put tables outside spread at least 30 feet apart.
Landlords and governments need to allow this.
Good article!
American producers, distributors, and retailers have had months to redirect their products to eager buyers. Are they all lazy dullards with zero drive to get business? Or is government preventing them from adjusting?
Sell partially processed hogs to restaurants.
Let former restaurant cooks chop the carcesses apart. Get your fresh pork here!
Don’t forget to thank and vote for your local communist democrat as well... /s
Your chance to buy restaurant grade food at our grocery store will only be available for a few months.
The market structure is causing this disruption / effect. The markets are not structured for local delivery. In order to accommodate a shift from commercial (restaurant) chains to retail (grocery) chains requires a distribution network flexible enough at the local level to shift delivery.
This would also require changes to how food production is contracted. There is a current desire to contract production directly with farmers. This enables the commercial side to better plan with less disruption in their supply and avoid product shortages in regional areas. But it then takes that capacity out of being used for the retail chain.
I think the articls sets out quite clearly why farmers are doing what they have to do.
It would be much better to just sew stupid people's mouths shut.
We got here by listening to their bright ideas... all of which have sucked thus far.
I think I can take a few more pounds of butter. It is interesting that the price (of butter, for example), is not changed from a couple months ago.
Genius! 30 ft apart one restaurant will only need about a whole parking lot.
How about this? Let the restaurants open with normal seating. You can stay home or go. But it would be your choice.
30 ft part, did I miss the /s? Sorry if I did.
Our city just did this. Restaurants can set up tables outside on the lawn or in the parking lot, as long as their landlord is good with it. No code enforcement over parking spaces used, etc.
Oh, and the city put no restrictions on spacing, it’s all per the governor’s EO. Which I think is 6’, and no more than 10 to a table.
Maybe steak restaurants need to open a small meat markets so the distribution won’t be so out of balance. Just a thought. I have a son who works for Longhorn Steakhouse
