Desmond Sobool, principal economist with Farm Credit Canada, says that for the past few years, dry conditions and droughts in both countries have prompted farmers to reduce their herd sizes by sending more cattle to slaughter, which has resulted in increased production of beef products.
Sobool says while this would normally drive cattle prices down, inflation and high demand mean prices are remaining elevated — and if there’s less supply in the future, that will drive prices up further, which could affect consumer prices as well.
And you never even mentioned the phrase 'climate change'. Amazing.
Human beings do not need to eat animal flesh. It’s time to transition away from animal agriculture and the government needs to help us move to a plantbased food system and follow the science based CanadaFoodGuide. transfarmation plantbasedtreaty .
It would be a very good idea to stop raising livestock. Animal farming is the leading loss of biodiversity, a leading cause of greenhouse gas emissions &endangers us all with zoonotic diseases. JustinTrudeau needs to axe animal ag subsidies & help farmers transition refarmation
No it won’t. There are local beef, poultry and pork ranchers and farmers near or close to your community. Shop local.
What drought?
But climate change doesn’t happen here. Oil companies said so.
Just feed the leftists grasshoppers. We can produce them too.
More frequent - more severe - more destructive - more expensive.
No shit.
C'mon, meat producers . . . if we can get men onto the moon, surely you can get water to your cattle. How 'bout starting now - by filling reservoirs that you build with your mega profits?
“Experts”.
That’s why they’re going to push organizations like Y2Y and CPAWS. Americans are after our water.
REALLY!!!? Extreme stuff causes problems? Let me guess, you're going to feed the public more global warming cult bullshit?
And here we go . . .
