As a farmer I understand economics, but the wheeling and dealing Mike Schussler writes about is so shady that it leaves me dizzy .
Schussler points out that Brazilian farmers make no profit on the chicken being exported to SA, but as he suggests, the bigger picture is that profits are definitely being made elsewhere, to allow this price-cutting to take place. Why else would they continue at a loss? I have 12 full-time workers who depend on me for their living, and we all rely on the market staying strong, so that our client does not scale down the number of cycles in my calendar.
