[Greenbeard]

Might want to get used to disputes over dwindling water supplies, folks. You’ll find them to be a motif of this century.

Texas doesn't produce much sugarcane. They lead in oil, NG, and renewables however.

40 years.

NO, a generation is a group of people born and living in roughly the same time period, which is 20 years, some might say 30 years, but it is in no way close to 40 years.

I am the 3rd generation of my family name, by dad was 25 years older than I, my grandfather was 50 years older.

Yes, this sugar mill is accurately described as existing for generations.

Ship the water in from somewhere else. The Great Lakes have lots of water, right?

Yes but what would be the cost to move water from North to South? The distance is significant and transportation costs would be high. It sounds easy on paper but the logistics would add additional cost in making the final product that will be passed on to the consumer who will pay for it at a higher price.

Then you would also have ice cover in the winter to deal with and since Canada and the US share that water.

If it was all downhill, the expense would not be much.

California's biggest expense is moving water. California uses most of it's electricity, to move water.

The great lakes water should not be shipped our to Southern states under any circumstances.

This is flat out horrible. Generations of hard working Americans have worked there and now its being closed due to Biden. How many plants and mills have shut down under Biden since his illegal installation? This list is endless!

DemoKKKrats like their sugar grown and refined by poor black people, not Americans.

Texas’ only sugar mill closes after 50 years in the Rio Grande Valley

Drought and inadequate water supplies devastated sugar cane harvests.

www.texasstandard.org

Water shortages in the Rio Grande Valley are already having catastrophic consequences for some farmers in the region.

For more than 50 years, sugar cane farmers in the Rio Grande Valley brought their crops to Santa Rosa after the harvest. Santa Rosa is a small town in a rural part of the Valley that’s home to the state’s only sugar mill.

Years of drought have devastated sugar growers in South Texas, however. So much so that the board of directors of the Rio Grande Sugar Growers co-op decided to close the mill permanently. Tudor Uhlhorn, chairman of the co-op’s board, spoke to the Standard about the decision. Listen to the interview above or read the transcript below.

okay
More U.S. companies have gone bankrupt in 2023 so far than all of 2022 or 2021

There have been more U.S. corporate bankruptcies so far in 2023 than in all of 2022 or 2021, as companies continue to struggle with high interest rates and a tight labor market. S&P Global Market Intelligence has recorded 459 filings as of Aug. 31, which compares with 373 for all of 2022 and 408 for all of 2021.

okay just curios as to why would you say that.

I understand the logistics and cost would not make it cost effective

but you sound pretty serious about this or maybe your just joking

 

[MAGA Macho Man]

The great lakes water should not be shipped our to Southern states under any circumstances.

Why? Explain in detail?

 

[initforme]

There's no cost effective way to do it and the great lakes are a resource to protect, not ship to other regions.

Gov Abbott should start doing full inspections on every agricultural product coming out of Mexico. Unload and inspect everything in every truck, fresh, frozen or on the hoof. Let the Mexicans lose 10s of billions and it might change their attitude.
