Loading ...As ranchers liquidate their herds , the price of beef will fall. When the herds are liquidated, prices skyrocket. The ranchers just got their herds built back up from the last drought and are liquidating again. This liquidation will permanently remove a lot of the older ranchers who run cow/calf operations because they are too old to go through the cycle again. It takes about three years to go from a newborn calf to that calf having a marketable calf. Most of the pastures are overgrazed so it may be two years before more grass is available.
The wheat farmers have been hit by drought and not fertilizing as much as they normally do. Some are raising other crops or putting wheat land into pasture. This guarantees a short wheat crop next year. Those who can will plant cotton which will cause it to go to half the price it is today. The corn crop this year will also be short.
Plan accordingly, we have a lot of new mouths to feed and no place to house them. Violence is running rampant in some areas. Convenience store clerks will be killing people to stay alive themselves. The self defense for police officers is not arresting the good shooters because they are prosecuted by the DA’s who release the slimeballs.
I’m glad I live where I do. The definition of self defense is getting wider every day.
