[AT] quiet list(wheat prices)

[Rob Wilson]

Ah don't fret Ralph the answer to everything is just go to WalMart (or as I
like to call it white trash world) and buy your meat which they have shipped
direct to your plate from China. Granted you won't have a job to pay for it
unless you go to work for WalMart but they'll think of something I'm sure.
Saw a while back where Tyson was shipping chicken from China to put into
they're frozen meals here and those crafty Chinamen figured out how to make
a buck by NOT cooking the chicken just paint strips on them like they were
grilled and die them to look cooked. Now where's that country of origin
labeling law?.........

In fact the beef and hog business is in serious trouble here, mainly due to 
high grain prices. It doesn't make economic sense to put expensive grain 
into cattle when the market prices for that beef on the hoof is as low as it

is now. Same for hogs. There are some big "hog factories" here in Sask. that

are feeling the pinch too.
Of course I doubt this makes much difference when the consumer buys their 
meat over the counter as from what I see, those prices are still way up 
there.
Generally, when the grain side of farming is doing good, the livestock side 
is suffering. Been that way for years.
