Found an article today that talked about bacon price increases due to supply, anyone notice this is their area?
A year ago, 76.3 million pounds of pork bellies were in various commercial freezers around the country. In early August of this year, that storage figure had dropped to 35.4 million pounds.
The problem could be seen last week in Des Moines Cold Storage's minus-26-degree freezer, where racks stood empty that normally would be filled with pork bellies.
"Normally, we have 10 to 20 million pounds in storage here in our facilities," Muelhaupt said. "This week, we were down to 330,000 pounds."
Damn I thought Iowans were corn fed LOL,
