Today's USDA "Dairy Product Price" report showed NFDM went up 6.2 cents per pound to $1.17 a pound. Big deal. Both Oceania and EU lists the high side of Skim Milk Powder which is essentially the same as NFDM standardized to 34%, as $ 1.63 a pound.
Why is there so much difference between USDA and Oceania and EU?
ReplyDeleteThey are trying to destroy our industry( and eventually our country) so the price is purposely kept low.
ReplyDeleteWho holds the USDA accountable? Are there ever any audits of the USDA's information?
ReplyDeleteA short time ago, the US Sec. of Ag. Tom Vilsack publicly stated that he has used every tool in his tool box to deal with the dairy crisis. I guess he wasn't lying.
ReplyDeleteDuring the Nixon era, his administration was offered/paid/bribed 3 million to manipulate the milk prices. Could it be possible that someone at the USDA is being compensated to manipulate the data to benefit the hedgers/speculators?
ReplyDeleteAbsoultley possible! Why did they stop working on the Justice Department Invesetigation of Dean Food and DFA, when it was reccomended that people be indited, why was the case never closed so that the public can view it? How can the majority of President Obama's cabinet not pay income tax or were delinquet paying? The list goes on and on....
ReplyDeletePoliticians and scum are alot alike, scum always rises, and the higher you go up the political ladder, the scummier it gets!
Look at it this way, what is the most common thing about politicians? Most hold a law degree. If they were any good at lawyering they would still be raping the system from that angle. Instead they went into politics, so we have the worst of the worst segment of our society running the place. question: what's the difference between a lawyer and his client? the lawyer hasn't been caught....yet. question 2: did you know that 99.5% of all lawyers give the rest of them a bad name? comment on DOJ by previous poster: Did this ever have a chance? Gonzales was from Texas, W was from Texas, Dean foods is headquartered in Texas, rumor has it ( and I have heard both ways) that CEO of Deans was either a frat bro of W or roommate of Gonzales at college. My question has been how many of the 11 or 12 that got canned were the ones working on the dairy case? which would mean now they have no one with knowledge of the case to take it forward. You know all of this makes even the most fervent anti conspirecy theorists sit back and say, hmmm maybe there is something going on.DWCovert
ReplyDeleteYou would think that the ones that got canned would be writing a tell all book by now. Wonder if they have ever been interviewed?
ReplyDeleteYeah, DFA in a newsletter mentioned conspiracy as a way to deflect the truth. The funny thing is DFA is blaming the media for the "conspiracy", don't they realize that the info is coming from the farmers and not the media?
Are these greedy coorporations (who are masquerading as co-ops and really running the country, we have no effective government or regulations) aware that the USA population does not have the money to keep buying their products and funding their astronomical salaries and bonuses? Oh wait, they do not care about the USA's people, they will continue to sell thier products to the countries who do have spending money. I used to laugh at the Mad Max movies, but there will come a time when people revolt.
ReplyDeleteWhat annoys the heck out of me is, that Pete through "The Milkweed" and John through this blog have been handing the governemnt the information on a silver platter and NOTHING has been done. NADA
ReplyDeleteExactly, 9:32, the mountain of evidence continues to grow by the day and yet nothing has become of it. Makes one wonder how deep the corruption goes....DWCovert
ReplyDeleteWe would be better off run by the Italian Mafia - at least they would know enough not to kill off the folks that feed them and their families. In fact I think I would prefer it. At least if they no longer had a use for us the end would be quick and probably far less painful. I think revolt may be sooner than later the way things are going - we can't afford to keep the cows and feed ourselves. The banks are only going to let some of us slide for so long, what if prices don't turn around before it's your turn in the hot seat? If a few of the larger farms would get together and do something, anything, a lot of us little guys would join in a New York minute.
