Add that any products grown for trade are sitting unwanted in fields, or for aid rotting in warehouses because the government canceled the contracts for them. Food is often held in special warehouses where the oxygen is pumped out, but there aren't enough of those to hold all the excess that was expected to be sent elsewhere

It's a colossal mess, with an incredible amount of waste

That's just good old fashioned republican efficiency. These boys better get their bootstraps and figure out which conglomerate they're gonna sell the farm to.

At least during Covid the farms were transporting food to churches/communities at lower prices. They literally have no one now to pick up the produce. Waiting on farms to start pick your own systems like blueberry farms.

This won’t work for orchards and tree based produce. One idiot falling off a cherry picker will ruin a small farmer
