“Agri-Vation” or “Don’t have a Cow”

Agriculture officials called Texas’ drought a billion-dollar disaster today, in reference to losses to cattle raisers. It’s only going to get worse now, as they are going to be sued by Detroit automakers claiming that “Billion-dollar Disaster” is their new slogan.

The lack of crops means less feed for cattle, which translated to lower sale weights for beef cattle. Yet somehow, American people keep getting fatter.

Simply put, there is less meat from each cow sold. On the plus side, in this economy, who can afford steak anyway?
