And What is The USDA Worried About??

[YuccaFlatsRanch]

"So we have skyrocketing fuel prices (about $4.30 for diesel here), MSM reporting rice, wheat, flour, and cooking oil shortages in the US, lack of honey bees due to CCD, the possibility of a pandemic on the horizon and the destruction of poultry in some areas to stem the spread of bird flu, climate change causing weather patterns to be disrupted, drought in Australia and lack of rice production, the Uganda wheat rust virus spreading, too much population to sustain - - anything I'm missing?"

And what is the USDA worried about these days - NAIS. Priorities????? Go Figure!!!!

Yes but they need to know where to go kill those chickens and everyone elses within a 50 mile radius.

With the government often hiring untrained workers perhaps they feel the need for chips so it will indeed be poultry they are killing and not mules, sheep or hogs.

Is there something new? What is the USDA saying these days?

And you'll start to understand the answer.

Don't forget the Christmas trees. I had to sort through a bunch of seasonal promotion banners at work. One of them says we have USDA Grade A Christmas Trees.

I wish I was making this up. I don't really know if the USDA grades Christmas trees or not. But if they do, well, enough said. Some how, I guess I wouldn't be surprised.

And I won't even get going on the farm bill.

They are using the usual verey scary words. " We are from the Government an we are here to help you "
