How much do turkeys cost in the USA where you live?

@swirlie yell your right. the small farms. and dairy's. cattle farms. all selling off the land for housing. it's the corporations now that is setting the price of food,

@jackrabbit10
Oh boy... 🤦🏼‍♀ ...this is what happened during the 1930's too.

@swirlie history repeating itself.

@JimboSaturn
Jackrabbit10 told me yesterday that he paid 88 cents a pound at Walmart for a Butterball turkey! I told him that nobody's making any money at 88 cents, so who's making money at 50 cents a pound I wonder?! Not the farmer, that's for sure!

@swirlie I don't know. Maybe there is such a huge supply? Maybe the farmers are subsidized? The economics of growing turkeys can't be much different in the US. They eat the same feed which I believe is now tariffed. Gas is the same, all the inputs would be similar

@JimboSaturn
I priced a Butterball turkey in Zehrs before Thanksgiving and a 10kg (25 pound) turkey cost $80... WTF is that about, right?

The thing is, everybody made money along the way, from the farmer to the supplier to the store owner, so this is really what we need to charge for a turkey to make a capitalistic democracy work as it was intended to work. Everyone has to win and nobody can lose, otherwise everyone eventually loses.
