America's mass hog cull begins with meat to rot in landfills

4. It has to be processed first.

and those who do the processing either can't our won't make their workplaces safe for their employees. It's not the farmer's fault and dividing "deserving" verses "undeserving" without knowledge and context isn't helpful. It also shows a lack of knowledge of just who farms and who doesn't. I say that because I'm surrounded by farmers. Dairy guys mostly. Many are "corporate" as we like to throw around because their ops are set up as LLC's, etc. BUT the bulk of these same LLC farmers have been farming the same land for 3, 4, 5 and 6 generations. One I know of, his family has owned much of the same land since the American Revolution. So it's easy to stereotype them if they're mythical to you. A whole lot different when you meet them face to face at the local gas and go. Or wave as they drive by on their tractor hauling hay. That's my world. Maybe it's different in Iowa or Illinois or California. But around here dairy guys have been crippled with low milk prices for at least 4 years now. Then came the tariff wars. Now this. But hey...if you want food to just magically fall from the sky, well go right ahead.
