Are we going to be starving in 6 months or what? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70969221 considering the relative ammount of gmo wheat and oat-based products that make up supermarket shelves, I'd say we're already well oversaturated. let's all just plow it under for a year already... $oft kill |

User ID: 79239756 Taiwan 09/29/2020 12:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | the plant has been operational for over 15 years now without major regulatory intervention. it certainly hasn't set any standards in the agriculture industry although clients keep purchasing and their trucks keep rolling in and out on the scales until the only capital left to be made is off the end consumer, eh. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77543681 Im allergic to gluten Gluten is most likely a cover for all the other crud they put in there. Bread makes me tired and depressed instantly. I don't know how people can survive on the stuff. I switched to bananas + nuts for snacks. Any more stories OP? Daozen appears to be mentally impaired, but harmless. Attention!

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78965502 Canada 09/29/2020 12:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | there's literally half an inch of pigeon shit covering most of the floors in our holding sheds with continuous input falling from above into the grain piles. all of it liable to getting scraped up and shipped out wholesale by the skidsteer or cat loader to a "food-grade" mill or processing plant. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77543681 ...i was wholly under the impression they were selling it as seed stock during my first few weeks. In a good grain year, you'll literally see the farmers just pile it in the field, sometimes covered by a tarp. (But not always covered!) All winter long. Absolutely full of mice, mouse shit, deer shit, etc. But still perfectly good for us to eat, apparantly. I avoid processed grain products whenever possible. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 78251673 United States 09/29/2020 12:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have a idea . instead of blaming the birds how about just stop feeding them with open door opportunities . That is the only reason they are there . Processers of finished products take the financial hit necessary to do it . We are long past the time when we could not and far past the time when the new upgraded facilities to guarantee it should have been built. There looking for meaningfull ways to create jobs and better our lives ? There's one for them. |

User ID: 77082640 United States 09/29/2020 01:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Way back when the farmers around here would hire my brother and I to shoot pigeons and blackbirds out of their barns. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5461667 They pooped in the hay and the cows wouldn't eat it. We got a quarter a head for dead birds. Righteous bucks in those days. We used .22 shorts we got for 50 cents a box at the hardware store. Easy money for a kid, clean hay for the cows. We also took care of groundhogs, foxes and any other pests the farmer wanted rid of. It's probably frowned upon by the tree lickers now. Love this story. thanks. |
