Oregon farmers have cut back on production, and now many areas in Oregon are forced to buy expensive groceries imported from Canada. Oregon needs to expand domestic production of food, while at the same time California can send food to Oregon, including Bakersfield, Bakersfield grows a lot of food that can be shipped to Oregon.
And markets such as Northgate, Von's, Stater Brothers, Ralph's, Albertson's, Trader Joe's, and others, can expand to sell products in Oregon, as well as in Kentucky, and Arkansas, and Tennessee, etc. And they can also expand into Australia, etc.
( Of Note, they need to open a Hard Rock Hotel and Casino owned by the Seminole Tribe of Florida right in the middle of Tokyo, Japan, with the best food, and the best American Rock and Roll entertainers, etc. And they can open Vegas casinos all over Japan, and McDonald's, etc. And we can flood them with the American ideals of a 40 hour work week, and Saturdays and Sundays OFF from work, and paid vacations, etc, and the companies need to learn to be altruistic, etc. )
We can also export food from California to China, including sending Sunkist products and Andre Cold Duck, and wine, etc, and cheese, etc. Mexico can also send food to China, etc.
We need for Future Farmers of America to teach our young farmers, and we need for community colleges in rural areas to teach farming, etc, and we can increase production for the people of Oregon, etc, and for all of us, we can all benefit as the farmers produce more food. And the Teamsters can deliver food all over the nation, along with the railroads, etc.
Salute,
Tony V.
