Food for Thought


Big headlines lately about tariff cuts by China, particularly for US pork....

But is US pork really US pork?

Or is it Chinese pork produced in the US by American farmers?

Will tariff cuts and diversion of resources leave our shelves bare of bacon? (Ack!!!)

Just who is being aided by these cuts as China sells pork to itself?



Read these and decide for yourself....

China cuts tariffs

Smithfield changes a few things

All about Smithfield....

Working on the first Farm Side for 2020 here......

And just for NY interest, Empire Farm Days has been sold!

Life without bacon and ham is not worth living.

Chinese pork produced in the US by American farmers--- is what I think. Smithfield is Chinese pork raised in America.

Jan, no lie there! All those photos of bacon day about killed me. lol

Linda, yes, we are allowing far too many countries to buy our land and ag infrastructure and to control our production. I am afraid we will regret this sooner rather than later.

I agree! A sad predicament, me thinks.
