Among the ways Kentucky cattle farmer Joe Lowe is adapting to the pandemic: direct-to-consumer sales in Louisville. It's especially popular with 'that guy who likes craft beer and bourbon that’s hard to find.'
is being felt all the way up the food supply chain, with some farmers delaying the purchase of bulls for breeding – something that could affect the food supply in years to come.
In other words, the Lowes’ animals sit at the apex of the meat supply chain. Just as there’s no meat in grocery stores without slaughterhouses, there are no calves to enter the supply chain without bulls. “We also recognize that in agriculture we are one of the few industries that must operate business as usual as much as possible. Grass will grow, cows will need bred, calves will need sold, and people will need fed.”
Behind his 89-year-old grandmother’s house, Lowe cups his hands around his mouth and calls over a nearby herd with a slow siren of a wail. Historically, cattle hasn’t been an easy business. In recent years, U.S. farmers were the casualty of trade disputes with both the European Union and China. Then, just as tariffs were starting to lift, the pandemic hit. The Lowes are just trying to stay the course as they’ve always done.America’s Food Chain: Butcher for high-end restaurants shifts sales to direct-to-consumer
