s I think about topics for my columns here in Ozarks Farm & Neighbor, I jot down notes of things I might like to address so I can do a Julie Turner-Crawford little more research before writing. is a native of Dallas The stack, however, is too big this time to focus County, Mo., where she on just one or two things. grew up on her family’s There’s the investigation into the big meatfarm. She is a graduate packers and market manipulation, the claims of Missouri State of food shortages, foreign meat brought into the University. To contact U.S., the pandemic, and the list goes on, and Julie, call 1-866-532-1960 each item seems to be intertwined with the or by email at editor@ other. If you pull one string, the others ball up ozarksfn.com. to make it an even more complex knot, and the more you try to work at untangling it, the worse the knot gets. Claims are circulating that there will be a shortage of food lasting up to two years, sending consumers into a panic. In my opinion, people tend to create their own panic. How can there be a shortage of food if producers are dumping milk and tossing eggs, and there are threats of mass livestock euthanizations, keeping food out of the supply chain? Seems there’s a problem somewhere in the middle. One positive in the farming world today is more and more people finding ways to connect directly with farmers. I have several friends who are direct marketing their farm products, and they are seeing an upswing in demand. A few are even talking about adding animals to their production rotations. That’s good news, but it’s hard to direct market 20, 50, 100 or more slaughter-ready animals, tons of raw milk or thousands of eggs at one time, so many producers are dependant on those
