Farmers in the South are selling their cattle below their usual size because they cannot feed them. The pastures cows eat from are dying from record temperature and lack of rain and hay growers can't supply the demand because they can't grow hay.

It's a combination of things. But one of the main factor is inflation. One thing you have to remember is that inflation can be broken down to different sectors and while the over all inflation rate is 9.06%, the inflation rate is going to be different for different industries. So you can look at the overall inflation rate is a base line, due to it being the same, higher or lower in a given economic sector. For example the current inflation rate in the food sector is 10.4%. It is the highest level it has been at since February of 1981 and it also has been on the biggest 12 month streak of inflation since the last inflation period that ended in April 1979.
Also you want to keep an eye on the current price of commodities. Because a market price increases in those will instantly raise or lower the price of a given good. For example the price of oil, hay and other commodities will increase the price of something like beef. Simply because a higher oil market price will make it more expensive it is to transport something like beef. Also the higher market price for hay, the more expensive it is to feed cows.
In a lot of ways commodities spiderweb into everything. We only see the end price of something on the price tag at a given store. But knowing the market price of commodities and what commodities a given industry uses will give you a better picture of what something coasts as much as it does.
NO. They are a result of high fuel prices, as shipping beef requires significant supplies fuel, and the oddly high number of breakdowns and accidents at meat packing plants, which has a good many people wondering if those were really accidents at all. Especially when the "Woke" (sic) and the elites appear to be pushing non-meat products.
Maybe "Soylent Green" was not a dystopian movie based upon a dystopian short story, but a blueprint for what the Global Elites want:
Last year ranchers were slaughtering animals due to covid, it was predicted higher prices would come because lower demand due to meat plants shutting down, meant animals could not be sold and ranchers couldn't sit on them. To cut costs means killing them. I know ranchers here that did just that, couldn't find a buyer when Tyson and others stopped buying so to avoid bankruptcy they cut their losses. Now that they are buying again after the plants opened, less sellers so they have to pay more. Of course throw in the Biden Inflation and its even worse.
The issue with climate change is that while we do have an impact on this planet, it's not as great as science or the gov would have us believe. Volcanos cause way more pollution than we will ever know and we actually slowed the next ice age down tremendously because of our carbon footprint. Does that mean that we should all litter and treat this planet like a garbage? No! As far as not being able to feed cattle or other livestock properly due to climate change, that's something we will have to ask science. Cheers 🥂

i think people use climate change due to poor excuses... sometimes it's bad leadership sabotage or in the case of CA fire forests the fact newsome didn't bother to clean up the forests not climate change... we've always faced extreme weather always it's never really stopped.
Cows eat more than hay and grass. Sure some farmers will grow their own silage to add to the diet of the cows but cost of meat going up is more because of the federal government. Everything’s gone up. Meat where I am is finally starting to sort of level out, vegetables are still stupid expensive, dairy has gone up.
I'm going to let everyone in on a secret I haul cattle so get ready there's no shortage in beef in fact they have so much sitting in freezers around the country it's crazy part of the cost if fuel for the trucks and tractors part of it is hay and the rest of the feed cost and part of it is drought however hay farms typically irrigate so that's not a big problem except the fuel to run it parts cost more and only so much can be grown at a time to feed with it's all a game of greed
The WEF wants you to own nothing and be happy, leadership is complicit in this arrangement with central bankers. They want you to eat bugs. Then they will feel truly "elite" and they'll still be eating ribeye, by the way. Enjoy your mealworms.
Yea, there's been droughts for a few years in a number of prime cattle ranching places and general crop failures all over the world driving up the cost of grain.
With feed prices so high, and inflation as it is the price has skyrocketed.
I'd suggest learning about aquaponics and raising your own shrimp or tilapia. Food prices aren't going down anytime in the forseeable future.
It is costing more to raise cattle.
Fuel is way up, fertilizer, seed, herbicide, pesticides, you name it has gone out of site, more than doubled in most cases.
Not to mention the cost of transportation and processing costs.
More than enough farmers have pointed out the issues created by the Federal Government that make doing their job difficult, from the high energy prices caused by limiting development to supply change issues caused by regulations and trade issue.
Well if everyone would eat vegan and produce their own food then we'd be fine. But cuz y'all wanna hang around on the corner at the fancy cafe uploading 100 pictures of your fancy food using 13 filters...
You can't come to conclusions based on a single year you need to examine trends across several disciplines over a long period. Climate change will affect prices but at the moment things like fuel prices will be hitting farmers.
If only Biden would get his boot off the neck of the fuel producers then…
If the government backed off and literally did nothing, US agriculture will be better off than any subsidy or regulation anyone could ever possibly imagine
They are rising because the cost of feed grain is rising rapidly (and yes, this is partly due to the war in Ukrain) but mostly because several beef processing plants have recently "mysteriously" burned down, while thousands of cows have "mysteriously" dropped dead simultaniously. That, and, oh yeah, Biden and the Green Deal Dims are trying to drive the fossil fuel industry into the toilet!
You're confused. Hay and cattle feed can be imported faster and cheaper than grown. The beef problem is more down to supply- than demand. American farms are losing money as Trump fucked most of the market up.
The weather is fine and there has been lots of rain so climate is not the reason. Most likely, it is the government since everything the government does is harmful.
Yes but not much, Climate change can affect growing feed for livestock and the lack of rains and water will make beef prices raising rapidly, importing beef or feed for livestock is a solution with bad side effects.
They are feeding them what they need. Due to the faked hyped up inflation cause by oil companies for their corporate greed
Its all part of the design to bankrupt and collapse all of North America
Could very well be. Might be a high chance prices are being artificially inflated to encourage others to not use as much beef, because cattle are a high producer of methane, damaging the environment.
It is a result of higher prices for everything else. The cattlemen have to raise the price of beef to cover their larger than normal overhead.
Beef is still normal priced in France not more expensive there's also lots of sales here making it cheap.
@_Aragorn no, I live in the countryside. Pretty good, I haven't noticed any change, people complain a lot but nothing change, the gas is at a high price but that's about it, I haven't noticed price rising at all since our grocery shop make tons of sales on everything so I just buy everything on sales and it cost me even less than before the war. Last tile for example I bought 1 bottle of tournesol oil for 1, 80 euros which is cheap. The prices haven't changed and if you're smart the price have even gone down cause you just need to buy everything on sales and that's it you pay cheaper than before the war.
The only stuff is really the piece of the gas that's truly the only annoying stuff it literally doubled. Nothing changed except this. I don't get why people complain so much (they all complain they're super poor while all going in the south on holliday go find the logics in this).
Also baguette is more expensive by 10 centimes and price of very high quality cakes are more expensive but that's it.
@_Aragorn It will continue, it been hundred years there's sales every time. There's sales on every product but the product that are on sales is different every weeks. Like this weeks Boursin (a cheese brand) is on sales as well as some ice cream brand and beef (with tons of others stuff) and the weeks before it was others brand and veal meats, etc... there's sales every weeks and it has always been like that, that would never change especially since grocery shop have asked the government a new laws to make it ok to make bigger sales.
Here we need government approvement for everything (even for private society).
People protest over everything really so yes they would XD
every weeks there's a brand of butter, eggs, milk being on sales, etc... so since I'm a baby my parents always bought the one that was on sales (except for nutella we keep buying it even without sales cause it's too good but if not we just buy everything ons ales since always cause it's cheaper and tons of people do this except the one who only like one specific brands).
@alice55 Thank you, I really appreciate your opinion and the information you give me. People should sometimes complain and protest, but as you said people still go to holidays, they still buy everything they want. Every country around the globe has economical struggles. Some countries have more problems than others. We should be thankful ofcourse of what we have. But governments should also listen to their citizens. They should listen to the farmers in different European countries for instance. And they need to come to an agreement. That is democracy.
I like the humble manner you're telling me about that you always buy your products when they are in sales. You mention a lot of products of French origin. Your kitchen is one of the most rich one in Europe. What is your favorie cheese by the way? :) It's true, products used to be always in sales, and it will be also in the future. Good to hear that your government made it possible to make products cheaper. Do you mean taxes? Let us see what future would be like with increasing world population. I hope everyone can get reasonable amount of drinking water and food.
So you were raised on the countryside. Did you ever think about moving to a (big) French City?
@_Aragorn You're welcome :)
They don't buy everything they want they buy less but they can still buy things they like, things they don't need so they really shouldn't complain so much, they act as if they're dying all the time.
And they're often too lazy to be careful about the price of stuff they're buying or using their sales coupon there's even apps with sales on it for food (where you choose 8 product every months you want to be on sales personally for you, for example I choose tomato sauce often cause I love it and I get sales on it).
There's different sales too the one where the product is 1 euros and you pay it 25 centimes and the one where the product is 1 euros you pay it 1 euros but they give you the 75 centime on your cards so the days after (up to one years you can use it) you can buy something and they would use this 75 centimes as reduction for example if the day after you buy a product that cost 2 euros you tell them to use your cards money and you only pay the product 1 euros 25 centimes.
@_Aragorn We have hundred of sales (so much that actually our farmers aren't getting paid enough, they sell their product for less than what it cost them to make). There's a brand in Intermarche though that give more money to the farmers (enough to make them live) and I often buy from this brand cause it's actually one of the cheapest there's, good French product and give enough to the farmer (my father always bought the dairies product from this brands).
@_Aragorn Nobody give a shit about the farmer here truly because even if we don't have farmer here anymore there's still tons of them in Spain or Romania who are cheaper, half the vegetable and fruits selling in France come from Spain and Morroco cause they're cheaper, people mostly only care about price.
Even my mother who's so obsessed with French product and French being put first mostly only buy foreign stuff cause she find the other stuff too expensive (she always complain about the price and everything while she have more than enough money, we live on 1500 euros a months for 3 and we live well, we can still buy stuff we like (not as much than before but still some) we can also go to restaurant with restaurant ticket her company give her make the restaurant completely free. So we can have free meals.
@_Aragorn I don't get why people complain so much we really shouldn't.
The inflation is more than 20 % in Estonia cause they're too poor to take mesure to limit the inflation and you don't hear people rioting everyday.
I just find it more smart to buy stuff on sales cause if I do not it make me think that I just wasted my money. For example last time I bought 20 pack of pasta since they were a big sales on it as well as olive oil I bought 4 bottle since they were a sales. I nearly never buy stuff that aren't on sales except sugar cause I only eat brown sugar (there's a history of diabetes in my family so better be careful and white sugar is truly bad, brown sugar isn stronger in taste so less is needed).
It's hard to choose just one cheese but I guess it would be Beaufort or comte, they're a sort of gruyere used to make fondue or just to eat like that. Its extremely good and there's hundred of recipe where we can use it.
I think biggest problem with people is that they often always buy the same brand they don't like t change so obviously they end up paying more instead of buying the same version of their product in another brand that is on sales or they're too lazy and just always buy the same things without caring for the price then act shocked when the time to pay come. (while there's always a huge sales portion at the start of the shop).
@_Aragorn Increasing population is not a problem in Europe or developed countries but it's a big problem for Africa or some Asian countries. In Africa for example there's a very high risk of not having wheat anymore because of the war in Ukraine. Ukrainian and Russia wheat are the cheapest so they sell it to the poor countries while in France and Italy we got tons of Wheat in our country so us we would never have any problem concerning wheat maybe just price rising a bit but that's it. We always would get food even if Ukraine and Russia don't send anymore to us, we're also in no risk to get electricity or gas problem in France un like in Germany where there's a risk of recession since they depend on 90 % on Russia and if I remember well it's 100 % for Hungary (we're going to help them obviously we're all European but for the most dependent on Russia they're still going to have to make huge effort if not they would have big trouble this winter).
No never, I don't like city it's too polluted, it's hard to breath there and I faint every time there's heat, the heat there is horrible it's much hotter in city in the summer than countryside (except the south where it's hot everywhere except on the coast). I just go to the city in the week end to go shopping or buy some high quality cake / chocolate. But the city have too much foreigner honestly and people (and police) are really not nice in the city, people are much nicer in the countryside. I also love to go on walk on the week end so countryside is much better.
The weather story is a load of bs. California cows have lived in 115+ temps with drout for at least 4 decades that I am personally aware of.
No. High prices result mostly because market speculation
Weather is cyclical. Some years we have a excessive amounts of rain, other years little rain.

-watches the hate-
No, it's due to Western countries' war on fossil fuels.
Yes. But it’s buried in inflation prices. So the climate continues to silently suffer while we squander over the ashes.
If you seriously read, and have the wherewithal to analyze what you've read. It should be easy to discern like almost everything: DO ARE BEING LIED TO.

Your wasting your time
They believe it is happening therefor it is happening because that’s what they believe.
@EarthRealm You may be right, I'd rather not starve, or worse have some overlord regulating worse. The contrails could be halted with moderately sophisticated antiaircraft. It's like with the shots, now child casket sales are starting to take off, that's a little more agita. Short MRNA puts, 3 & 4 months out...
Isn't it rather that cows have discovered... BODY POSITIVITY?
It makes sense. The higher the price, the less people will consume it and less demand it will have which then won’t be contributing to global warming
It's because the world economy is crashing. Fuel prices make everything increase on top of all of problems going on in ports
Possible but equally with the NWO looking at massive depopulation as part of tye agenda could be trying to kill people given how badly COVID did
Please seek professional counseling.
Maybe where you live it is. Here in the UK it's more likely due to supply chain issues.
Nope they're a result of inflation caused by insane climate policies.
Not yet. Its going to be much more expensive.
No, it's President Putin's price hike!
We just raise our own beef.
Lol, no it’s because of inflation, dummy.
no not at all, it's left wing policies
God damn that Putin, roflmao.
@StevieNix Hehe.
A few idiots said "yes '.
Not really, no.
Read the farmers almanac the climate is no change
It too high
