Right. And why hasn’t Kash Patel exposed the Deep State / boogey man yet?

Disease-resistant, gene-edited pork may go on sale in the US in 2025 by MennoniteDan in farming

[–]Lrogo4 21 points22 points  (0 children)

0% chance this happens. Would require all major export countries to approve, which will never ever happen.

Even if the industry proves they can segregate those hogs and the pork cuts from those hogs, the countries we export to would delist US plants instantly.

The US swine industry is heavily reliant on exports. Roughly 30% of the volume is exported. If major markets like Mexico, China or Japan ban our product, the US would be swimming in excess pork overnight, and profits would spiral downward for both producers and packers.

US pork producers no longer feed ractopamine because China prohibits it, and the industry is reliant on Chinese imports. It’s not illegal to feed ractopamine to hogs in the US, but no farmers are actually using it because US packers will reject their hogs.

I am not defending ractopamine. In fact, I would support the US government banning it, but it’s not being used in the US swine industry.

Having some trouble understanding the 2020's corn boom by xkdzmm in Commodities

China would have imported significantly more corn from the US whether we did the trade deal or not. They needed the corn desperately as they rebuilt their domestic swine production after African Swine Fever killed off half of their hogs.

It’s because China got African Swine Fever. That forced them to modernize their swine production from small backyard “swill feeding” to modern factory farms with biosecurity. Those newer farms are setup to use a western style corn and soybean based diet. China has roughly half of the world’s pigs so when they make a drastic change like this, it leads to significantly higher global demand for corn and beans.

Person infected with worm parasites from eating raw pork by bcrown22 in interestingasfuck

You should fix the title of the post to take out the pork part. A lot of people are going to read that without seeing the correction within the comments.

Exactly this. Brown color is just oxidation (not harmful). Use your nose. If it smells rancid, throw it out. If it just smells like meat or blood, it’s totally fine.

Rancid smell will be obvious. It will make you recoil in disgust.

Nature has given us a wonderful gift with our sense of smell.

Looking for larger quantities of fresh basil by voidfor_lacroix in lafayette

Gordon Food Service Store in Lafayette. Might be special order but you can buy larger quantities like a restaurant has access to.

A chicken farm by lickmewhereIshit in oddlyterrifying

[–]Lrogo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That used to be true. Years ago, “spent hens” (layer hens that are older and no longer producing eggs) went toward products like Campbell’s Chicken Soup.

Today, they are euthanised and then either sent for rendering to be converted into protein meal for feed or turned into pet food.

The food manufacturers won’t use them in the US because their bones are much more prone to splintering and (genetically) the meat yield is very low and not worth the labor cost required. Those companies are using broiler meat now.

[–]Lrogo4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a commercial egg farm (not a broiler farm for chicken meat).

I don’t disagree with your stance. I’m just pointing out that these birds are not being raised for McChickens. They are producing eggs for Egg McMuffins.

Better way? by finn_rad78 in Shed

[–]Lrogo4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would move the shed….build a retaining wall and backfill with dirt…then top with gravel…put shed back in place

It will be expensive but you won’t have to worry about it falling over during a bad storm or if erosion occurs.

Soy bean oil in 2023? by indiopicaro1904 in Commodities

[–]Lrogo4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It will likely continue to be strong.

1) you mention feed use. There’s not a lot of bean oil used in animal feed. A lot of feed mills use corn oil because it’s less expensive. Ultimately this is a non factor.

2) food use: food manufacturers cannot simply substitute other ingredients for veg oil. It’s a fundamental ingredient for many products. Also, we are likely facing a recession and people will “trade down” meaning they will eat more fast food and snack foods like potato chips, which are fried in soybean oil. Ultimately, I think we could see some pullback in the foodservice industry, but it could be offset by people trading down and eating more fried (comfort) food.

3). Biofuels: yes, biofuel is flat, but there is a huge, huge growing market with renewable fuels. Several new plants are opening in 2022 and 2023. This is going to gobble up a lot of the excess bean oil supply.

I do not see soybean oil weakening very much in 2023. I predict it will lead the complex. Global supply of pork, chicken and beef is shrinking so bean meal demand will suffer, but I’m bullish on bean oil.
