It's not just Tyson but JBS(?), Smithfield and others. Then the crop farmers are either not planting or turning the crops under and dairies are dumping the milk.
Things going to get rough
Sounds like things are getting ripe for government take over. Is it by design ?? Who knows at this point, but if it is by design, then they have finally pulled it off.
Not a government take over. A corporate take over. Many of the farmers who are going under, are small family farms run by multigenerational families who live on the land. Everything they have is tied up in their farms - land, buildings, equipment and livestock. When they go under, these farms are snapped up by multi-national corporations whose owners exploit tha land for profit and care little for environmentally sound land management practices. No crop rotation or natural replenishing of soil. Think 1930’s dust bowl.
Similar, small businesses aren’t getting government loans. The government is giving out 10 million dollar loans to franchise chains, while small family restaurants are closing.
As with the banking bailout, shareholders are getting big dividends, publically traded corporations are getting huge interest free capital loans meant for small business, and small businesses are going bankrupt.
At the end of this, you will have more corporate concentration, fewer small businesses owners and wages will go down as the workers fight for the few remain jobs.
