they were worried about producing too much, the price of eggs collapsing, the market demand being so low they couldn’t move product, and thus, losing money. It’s a big problem with industrialized farming. Localized farming helps to solve this issue.

Sure but why not just give the farmers what they needed and pickle the extra or something?

i mean, that’s an option. Although after having done some reading, it seems like this was more in cohorts with like a million chickens being killed due to swine flue or whatever the fuck happens in industrial bird farming.

Either way, industrial farming is just not a very good system at handling anything even remotely shenanigan worthy.

Yeah chickens dying or quarantine concerns would be real shit, but ‘concerns of overproduction’ when a natural resource isn’t being wasted (the chickens were still being kept alive, right?) Is just so dumb to me.
