• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Do you have any idea how much wine the US is importing from Argentina?

Also. Diplomatics.. The Queen of Holland is from there.

The problem with the meat (and other farm product) prices is that there is to many middle men in between all of it. The second thing would be some office people decide the prices, via the stockexchanges. You can do a bullrun tactic on for example corn.. Or during harvest periods extremely lower the prices.. Etc. You do the math.

That egg from the backyard is worth a few cents, the egg in the supermarket (in EU) 50 euro cent per egg.
I’m well aware of the disconnect between farm & consumer prices. Every time I walk into a grocery & see pecans selling for &15/lb after we scraped through another year selling to the brokerages for $1.50llb Farmers have zero control over what they receive for crops. I currently have right at 25k lbs of nuts at a cleaning/brokerage facility with more on the way & won’t know what we’ll receive for them until the cleaning is through & the shellers & the brokers decide what prices they’ll allow.
 



Take a hard look at this drone footage of London, where the night sky is ablaze with Diwali celebrations a stark reminder of how far we’ve fallen. While these imported festivities light up our capital, the native English are silenced, afraid to fly the Union Jack or St. George’s Cross without the jackboot of racism accusations stomping down.

This isn’t multiculturalism; it’s a takeover, and our spineless leaders let it happen. This is the erosion of our national identity, England belongs to the English, not a parade of foreigners drowning out our heritage.

We’ve bent over backwards for decades, tolerating every imported custom while our own are mocked or banned under the guise of inclusivity. This Diwali display sticks in the throat when you realize our own celebrations are stifled by fear of offending the ever-growing influx of immigrants. It’s time to draw a line in the sand, it’s time for Remigration.

Have you Pecan Farmers ever thought of organizing and controlling the market yourself.

Now days you have the internet and shipping companies galore.

Just create a website like www.nuttypecanprices.com

Then you sell them direct to consumer for $7.50 a pound 5Xing what you get now and the consumer gets your product for half price.

Give price breaks for larger quantities/orders.

Use Facebook/Instagram adds - mom's that cook live there.

Fuck the middleman.

Also go Buccee's and have all the different flavored pecans.

BTW -

* I want an 1% override on all sales for pulling your crew into the 21st Century.

BTW Part II

Starlink is available across the USA and works great for farms.

Get busy I need some mailbox money for my South American adventures!
