Deregulation and NAFTA has seen the American meat packing industry engage in union busting, low wage employment, and moving plant operations into Canada and Mexico. Cargill and National Beef have moved plants into Alberta, and in the latter case National Beef's operations in southern Alberta were able to keep out a union organizing drive by UFCW.

Cargill has always benefited from government largesse, not only from the American government but here in Alberta as well. When Cargill first began to buy up grain operations across Western Canada in the 1970's, their tell tale elevators now dot the landscape, they and the Alberta government came to a common agreement to set up a joint grain processing operation at the port of Prince Rupert, B.C.. Cargill's meat processing operation was able to take advantage of a market that had been deserted by Canadian companies such as Burns and Gainers, leaving it open to American companies who received support from the government under its agricultural diversification program.

In Argentina Cargill's fertilizer operations receive U.S. OPIC assistance. As an investor in developing countries Cargill has benefited from World Bank and IMF loans. A 1994 U.S. Treasury study* shows that U.S. companies, which included Cargill, won $2.7 Billion US Dollars in contracts compared to the $1.5 Billion US dollars the American government donated to the World Bank and its members.

JBS-Swift falls in line with COOL
Meatingplace.com
October 24, 2008

JBS-Swift & Co. said Wednesday it will comply with the intent of mandatory country-of-origin labeling law, saying it will label the majority of its beef products as a "Product of U.S.A."

The Greeley, Colo.-based company's statement comes the week after competitors Tyson Foods Inc. and Cargill Meat Solutions made their intentions known.

Like Tyson and Cargill, JBS had decided to label most of its product with the "Product of U.S., Canada and Mexico," or Category B, label to cut down on the costs of segregating livestock and products. However, USDA closed that so-called "loophole."

"This adaptation will require additional complexity and add cost in our facilities," JBS-Swift President and CEO Wesley Batista said in a letter to customers. "However, it is clear that despite the additional financial and business strains that may be involved, there is a significant amount of industry encouragement and government support to change our initial approach to labeling beef products."

Most of JBS-Swift's pork products have been produced as a "Product of U.S.A.," and will continue to labeled that way, the company said.

USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service has granted a six-month period of education and outreach, during which the law will not be enforced, that is scheduled to end in March 2009.

"During this time, it is our intent to continue working with our partners throughout the industry to develop ideas that will minimize the burden of COOL to all entities involved," Batista said.

I saw a News Hour piece on Maharastra, India, about farmers committing suicide. Monsanto, a US agricultural giant, hired Bollywood actors for ads telling illiterate farmers they could get rich (by their standards) from big yields with Monsanto’s Bt (genetically engineered) cotton seeds.

You didn’t just work there, you made friends. That shows in the flow of favors then and since. You were invited onto Walmart’s board, you were helped by a Tyson executive to make commodity trades (3 days before Bill became governor), netting you $100,000, Jackson Stephens strongly backed Bill for Governor, and then for President (donating $100,000).
