In a field near the farm where I was raised, an unimaginable event has taken place. Hogs, normally sold for processing were fed one-by-one into an industrial sized woodchipper, blended with mulch, and buried in the ground. The Chairman of the U.S. House Agriculture Committee, in an act of pathetic acquiescence to failure, came to Worthington and announced that the shuttered JBS plant could open only to euthanize hogs destined for the woodchipper. These events all transpired after the terrible Covid virus was spreading and triggered a total system failure in our meat production system, a failure that was probably preventable.
Wonderful article, I'm going to repost to social media...
