Insanity that greenbacks dictate the destruction of mature peach trees because we prioritise shareholder dividends over people eating.

It’s crazy how much people allow farmers to scam them.

Removing about 50,000 tons of peaches from production could reduce oversupply and save farmers an estimated $30 million in additional losses

Translation: We need to keep prices artificially high because the stupid American public is going to pay it anyways. We need to fuck them over as hard as possible because they have no self respect and get mad at anyone who does.
