See why potato farmers are destroying millions of potatoes

no demand.

The potato farmers in the video are growing seed potatoes. Their orders dried up because their customers aren't going to be planting as many potatoes. They gave some potatoes away to the public. They are composting some of the potatoes for cattle feed.

They're too busy to give them away. Idiots.

God Bless the potatoes!

How many tonnes could you take?

Food pantries..derrr

Indeed they can. That's what we've been doing. We started in March and already have little potatoes growing.

That is too bad. I guess many people do not know how to cook a potato.

I actually had a jazzed up baked potato for dinner--delicious.

And yet they were $1 a lb at the store yesterday.

grocery stores make profit not hard working farmers.

Im guessing the BIG picture is just TOO big for you to fully visualise.

millions? look smore like potato

Just excuses to create a fabricated food shortage so they can jack up the prices.

If supply went above demand, then prices would drop because they would have to wholesale a lot of product. They dont want that.

They rather have the higher price by destroying the supply and creating a shortage.

Its typical agri-business tactics.

This is why dairy farmers have to destroy everything about the the quota limit, its why apple growers have to toss away everything above their quota limit, etc.

This is such a gross waste of food, especially when so many people could use the extra food for their families. There are millions who are out of work. They could give them to homeless shelters, but I'm sure there's a law to prevent decency and generosity.

For more than ten years, landfills know that a tremendous amount of food has been thrown away in landfills. So there had been partnerships with food banks and gleaning opportunitoes to keep food out of landfills and feed the impoverished.

EBT cards have never been enough, and so churches and other nonprofits filled in the gaps. Now you have enormous need, hence the miles long lines to food banks. And also simultaneously, many of these are huge difficulties with getting donations and financial support.

It's insane to throw away food under all those conditions.

Wages are way down due to globalism/free and the destruction of the industrial base. So the actual amount of wages are a fraction due to the effects of inflation.

Omg

I'll be the one to protect you from all of the potatoes wheat and chicken. I'll be the one to protect you from all the pork and beef.

Potatoes are kinda racy, brown only on the outside but pale yellow to white on the inside. When you peel your potato the brown peel goes to trash bin! Get rid of it before Tyrone and his gang come to tear it all down...

1# the number of potatoes consumed did not decrease.
People not eating the potatoes at restaurants would eat thrm at home. Good chance potatoes consumption sky rocketed with poverty.


you then, dont trow away potatoes...you process them into pure powder, starch or even alcohol for hand sanitizer.

American ingenuity...trow everything in tbe garbage and claim government help.

Sad that there are so many potatoes being trashed because people only eat them when they eat out. Too lazy or incompetent to cook them fresh or frozen at home.

they twon it away because theycan claim money.

they aren't showing the whole pictures.

they were doing fine, problem arise and instead tochange plan or accept less...they destroy it.

People haven't stopped eating, this is total BS. The reason they are destroying product is because they want to keep the supply low to keep the prices high. This is OPEC but with SPUDS.

And there are more millionare "small farmers" than any other business.

They are going forward with the fed buys everything model. Since the fed can't really be a competing free market agent, there won't even be any theatrical markets like we have today.

Brrr they will try to print their way out of a hole that gets deeper the more they print.

those big blue tubs work great.

He also has some detailed videos on all things potatoes, so you understand everything, diff types, etc etc.

We used to do exactly that, the Emergency Ag Program as part of Civil Defense.

But Jimmy Carter and the Zinn-influenced Liberals around him did away with Civil Defense, replacing it with "Managing Emergencies".
The KGB considered that to be their greatest propaganda coup against the US.

As a driver I have hauled numerous loads of potatoes over the years. My deliveries have been to grocery distribution centers and processing plants.
These potatoes are bought, shipped and delivered in a matter of days.
That’s the logistics of just in time freight. It cuts down on costly warehouse space. What I can’t understand is why the brainiacs in government (oxymoron) haven’t devised a plan in case of a pandemic.
I’m sure or at least I hope these farmers have crop insurance.
