[QUOTE="cows sh#t me to tears, post: 9270606, member: 44958"] There is a fine line though. And once crossed that's it, no coming back. Case in point. Dairy in Aus. Previously a major export industry. Shrunk significantly by government water policy, drought, old age and poor poor prices 15 years ago. Now the processors are scrambling for supply, prices are good as a result. Problem is, to much stainless steel now so processors are shutting factories/ pulling out. International prices low, so supermarkets are importing cheaper product. line crossed..No going back. Further contraction is guaranteed. So. Cheaper food elsewhere. Won't be your government imporing it. It will be your supermarkets. Profit trumps everything else. [/QUOTE]
