Today I mowed for the first time this year. I have a bagger on the back of my lawn tractor and collected grass clipping for the birds to scratch in. They love it.

@cmom, I can't remember if I said hi to you or not so .

I'm having to revamp my chicken feeders. My feather heads are wasting way too much food. I'm trying my old bucket feeder again with the pvc elbow in it to see how that goes over. I've had a tray sitting under their hanging feeder to see how long it took to fill it up and today there was at least two gallons of feed in it. I spent an hour sifting out coop crud getting it as clean as I could. I keep telling them that their food doesn't grow on trees....They just cluck at me, or crow.....the little ingrates.

hoarding of flour

I haven't been to a big store since this started. Have a couple times went to one sorta popular (never was before). Weeks ago went there no flour, today still no flour (did pick up a bag of masa, they had three bags) saw they had a sign said see bakery if you want flour. Must be they sell flour weighed from their bakery , didn't check it out we still have plenty.

they have milk to give away, bring containers! It would seem more logical then just dumping it in the nearest gutter.

Drive through dairy all over here, Chobani yogurt, Suputos, Kraft, giving away tons of dairy products, food banks plus just them. Food banks +++
Doesn't put much of a dent in the dumping though...

That is right, PAY to have your product thrown out.

I thought the farmer still getting paid as long as they had a contract. Heard they are not, insurance doesn't pay in the event of a emergency/pandemic...

I have not seen any local stories other than one about all the craft beer going stale!

Beer is essential here...

The claim is that the supply chain is working but people are buying more. It is not all hoarders but people actually cooking at home more

Exactly. Why I keep saying our food supply is at risk. They say food is getting thrown away because restaurants are closed.
Umm, those people are still eating, they didn't disappear. You can't dump quadzillions of pounds of dairy, meat and fresh produce and say no biggie just cause restaurants closed. The people that ate that didn't just cease to exist. Eating at home now.

Right send it to stores or food banks!

I've got such a taste for potato chips now But, I like the Lays brand wavy ones with 50% lower sodium. Haven't been able to find that in weeks. I don't think it's hoarding, I think people don't want low sodium. so stores don't carry it anymore.

I hope you can find some soon!
