SAVING YOU MONEY...DID YOU KNOW?
Hill Spirit was watching the U.S. Farm Report today and one of the segments was about the pig virus that is in 30 states. The southeast is one of the few places that hasn't had a reported case yet. This pig virus (closely related to the China virus that is wiping out their pigs) has killed 6 million little pigs in the United States so far this year. This is one reason your bacon and sausage have gotten so expensive. There is a vaccine that is waiting for approval but in the meantime pork prices are going to continue to go up. They are not coming back down in the next six month so don't count on that. With that in mind, watch out for those sales on pork products and stock up. It might well be worth buying a small deep freeze.
