Another beef rancher says goodbye

I like to source our beef from small family ranchers who produce clean meat at fair prices. Sadly, one of our providers is saying goodbye and exiting the market, victim of through-the-ceiling inflation and other input unsustainable price increases. Our sourcing options are getting fewer and fewer, with prices going through the roof. The ol' supply and demand rules of economics.
Here is an excerpt from their farewell letter to their customers:
'Dear
The last four years have been such a gift to us in the form of wonderful customers and the fulfillment of being able to share our livelihood and beef with you.
You've been with us through COVID, cancer, and navigating life after the two. We have loved providing your families with delicious, well-raised beef while thanking God for your support and praying for your well-being with each boxed packed!
With input prices continually on the rise, and our time being directed to more activities as the Fisk and Lee kids get older, we have decided to re-focus our time and energy back within the walls of our home for now. '
Where will it end?!?! Drastic changes are needed, and we all know where and with whom they start.

Farmland and ranches will continue to be bought by corporations and foreign entities until someone puts a stop to it. Foreign persons or companies should be restricted from buying active farmland.
Another country controlling our food supply is bad news

Fiscal bills originate in the House - which has been led by Republicans for 22 of the last 30 years.
If the Republicans won't get our fiscal shite in order, no one else will. They seemed disinclined to.

I have some cattle and I always will. But my little cow-calf operation has gone from turning a modest profit into being a net loser.
I'm not that bent about it because I mainly do it because I want to and for ag tax benefits and a Schedule F.

Most farmers I know, are very well off, yet milk the U.S. teet for every dime they can and use a working force of 95%-98% illegals in order to make money by not paying a legit min wage.
I used to be all for the Farmers in the 80's with FarmAid etc, but after seeing the REL American Farmer.... yeah.... We all wish we had it so good.

He should just raise his prices, according to Big Scrub TX.

Sad to see. We raise our own beef. I like to keep around 8-10 head of cattle including a bull. This should ensure that we have the ability to continue to provide our own beef and if needed we can sell one or two here and there if needed to keep herd size down.

With input prices continually on the rise
