    Seems to be the same story as beef. Beef prices for the consumer are up, but not for the rancher (who are rich and you don’t have to feel bad for.) But the giant companies in the middle are making record profits.

      As is the story old as time. Low margin small independent producers can’t absorb the hit to sales price with rising input costs, while the corporate CAFO’s that have oodles of capital simply absorb the independents.
