I have been doing that for months!>>8944638
Plants and factory farms infiltrated by China, I sure hope this gets sorted quick, same happening in Canada. We are ranchers.>>8944639
Question is why, 22 million out of work, so a few employees getting COVID can easily be replaced. Why, we need information.>>8944753
With meat packing plants closing down, Cargill just south of Calgary chief among them, nobody will be more affected than Canadian ranchers.
While protein is running out and stores might soon see shortages of meat, ranchers are going to be losing out on their primary income.
Ranchers don't live on a CERB lifestyle. Their standard of living is decided at the weigh scale when selling that year's crop of cattle.
Feedlots are filling up, unable to deliver shipments to the meatpacking plants. The people left holding the bag are going to be the upstream cattle producers.
This is of course all the result of the meat packing plants and the federal government relying on a labour force that is temporary and foreign. The standards in which temporary foreign workers live and commute are substandard.
Alberta's Chief Medical Officer said it herself. Packed carpools have caused these outbreaks. The Temporary Foreign Workers flagrantly disobeyed public health advice, and ranchers are paying the price.
Government regulations does not allow off farm sales. Must be processed at gov facilities. Impossible to find a good butcher anymore. I can't do meat birds this year cause I can't book processing. Killed the ostrich industry and small farms. That was their intention though.
