Another Meat Processing Plant Shuttered
Peeps, this i snot good and we must start to gather such foods as pork, beef, poultry, and eggs and milk if you can – not hoard but gather.

Here is a reason why some of this is occuring:
The closing of restaurants, hotels and schools has left some farmers with no buyers for more than half their crops. And even as retailers see spikes in food sales to Americans who are now eating nearly every meal at home, the increases are not enough to absorb all of the perishable food that was planted weeks ago and intended for schools and businesses.
The amount of waste is staggering:
- The nation’s largest dairy cooperative, Dairy Farmers of America, estimates that farmers are dumping as many as 3.7 million gallons of milk each day.
- A single chicken processor is smashing 750,000 unhatched eggs every week.
Many farmers say they have donated part of the surplus to food banks and Meals on Wheels programs, which have been overwhelmed with demand.
But there is only so much perishable food that charities with limited numbers of refrigerators and volunteers can absorb.

Hcane Update
K dawg is excited!
This looks to be an above average year for these with multiple threats to our homeland.
We have a La Nina developing in the tropical pacific which helps promotes tropical cyclones in the Hotlantic Ocean.
Fwiw, this is by far & away the strongest signal I've ever seen on the National Multi-Model Ensemble (NMME) for an active Cape Verde & Atlantic Hurricane season in the mid-late spring. An active hurricane season would unfortunately be very on-brand for 2020 🙃 pic.twitter.com/1aVSoA2Tiq
