REVERSE BEANS- Ripe Bean Fields are being Plowed Under

Here - Late, Ripe, Bean Fields, are being Plowed Under Because Market Rate for Black Beans is Too Low

Remember, here we're entering winter. Late bean harvest time.

OK, so I'm in Brasil with an "S" - because "Z" is prohibited (haha, laugh with me Natasha) and mainly because it doesn't make sense to put a "Z" in there, the single "S" is fine.

Eevle puppet puppet-master Klausy's BraSSil of course is *NOT* fine.

And as a responsible business owner, I elected to put to a productive use, previously just grassland - & as a coincidence, planted 1+ Ha of bean on 23 Feb 2022, on the eve of the launching of the special military operation of current fame, which would eventually threaten the world with famine & disorder.

This is my bean that I made myself, it’s nice:

So:

1-    Here Fertilizer silos are full, too expensive, no-one buys

BR is full of fertilizer but no-one buys, it's too expensive:

=> according to Bloomberg, the glut of fertilizers piling up at the biggest Brazilian ports signals that the price of the nutrients has to drop further before farmers start buying.

In Paranagua, private warehouses reached their maximum storage capacity of 3.5 million tons, Luiz Teixeira da Silva, Paranagua’s operations director told Bloomberg. A terminal operated by VLI Logistics, one of the two at Santos port that store fertilizers, is also full, according to people with knowledge of the matter who asked not to be named as the information isn’t public.

That's a problem because the agriculture-heavy country and food-source for half the globe, imports nearly 85% of its fertilizer and Russia is the main origin. As supplies have normalized, prices have declined over the past weeks, but farmers still aren’t buying.

2- Beans are so dirt cheap, it hardly pays to harvest it here in the south

"Saca" (bag) of 60 kg Black Bean rate goes for BRL 200,00  ~ BRL 3,30/kg, USD 0,70/kg: marginally pays the harvesting.

The black "feijão preto" is universal people's everyday basic meal staple - with rice. Some pork meat & grease in it makes a feijoada - only decently made in Minas Gerais by emigrated Nordestinos. Never eat feijoada south of Belorizonte without seriously checking credentials.

 The "red" Carioca bean is subtler in flavor, and while widely consumed, more "upscale". It’s just less unpleasant when badly prepared.

The Rio-de-Janeiro "Red" variety goes for double the value with scarcity on the market:

 Some fields are being summarily plowed under to seed winter crop.

I'll harvest mine & store. Next time will plant red carioca.

Now I'll sow Centeio, look it up - catch me in the Rye: for flour & black bread - without *any* fertilizer or *any* pesticide, NADA.

But it smells like the Gold & Silver markets: rates repressed by paper derivatives, soon to collapse.

REAL physical stuff really produced and really existing and that I physically have, that will soon be *THE*  *THING*, me thinks.

The squirrel x snake pic is just a good pic, I didn’t take/make it. It’s good.
