I remember the days of the 1980's, droughts, more surplus livestock that you could wave a stick at, pricing was something else well back the other way, the one-off incentive per head paid to farmers, SMP's, centralised meat ownership & market control, Meat Board then the independent operators' cartels taking on the big sheds for their own formats of attrition plans like hungry piranhas chasing their last meal.
Somehow, not a lot has changed in the Producer's appreciation & support of the reducing number of players. guess where that will lead . The same might be said of some of the processing players still in the mix for presence of some of those same inherent problems and issues evident even today.
There is of course another part of the industry equation we don't see or hear much of - that is the private operators - the Affco's, Progressive and myriad of others all carving their own slice out of what's available.
