Sell/buy local

I ran across this post from The Lizard Farmer on selling beef locally vice big chain stores. GREAT IDEA.

Now if we can keep the government out of it, so they don't pass 'just one more law' to make this illegal.

Of course, Obama will say its his perogative to just take the beef, too.

I along with most of the other local beef ranchers here have pulled our stock from the public market. We’re selling to private parties only at what amounts to a lower rate than supermarkets charge. We finagled a local butcher to slaughter and package the beef once it’s sold (so in essence folks are buying a live beef and for their cost getting a final product). Why is this important? We’re making more money, people are saving money and we’re throwing the finger to the markets. Watch this type of movement because it’s going to gain momentum and is already happening in several states. And not just beef either. A friend of mine whom is a major supplier to Tyson poultry didn’t renew his contract with them after they tried to force him to lower his price. He went local and he’s making more and folks are saving more. Bottom line:
The Inner cities may control the vote but by God we control the food. And to the man we’re ready to scorch the earth before we let them take it away.
