In Wisconsin and Ohio, farmers are dumping thousands of gallons of fresh milk into lagoons and manure pits. An Idaho farmer has dug huge ditches to bury 1 million pounds of onions. And in South Florida, a region that supplies much of the Eastern half of the United States with produce, tractors are crisscrossing bean and cabbage fields, plowing perfectly ripe vegetables back into the soil. https://www.yahoo.com/news/dumped-milk-smashed-eggs-plowed-160839647.html 4 Likes 5 Shares

Can they find a way of importing them to Africa instead of destroying them? With the way things will start going this week, NCDC will start getting their confirmed cases mixed up, thinking that the deaths recorded are COVID-19, not knowing that majority of the deaths are from HUNGER-20. And we know that when one is severely hungry, it can manifest with different symptoms. Too much hunger can show the combination of symptoms of Ebola Corona and HIV in just one manifestation. 443 Likes 30 Shares |

This might be the ultimate outcome in Nigeria if our police and other law enforcement agencies are not properly tutored on what essential commodities are and to also allow vehicles to transport people seeking to buy agric produce. You permit us to buy agro products but prevent us from transporting them. 44 Likes 4 Shares |

Amotolongbo:We might have so many problems, but for now, food shortages isn't one. If it's imported, will it be shared for free? Can an average Nigerian afford imported food? Everything is not about rubbishing ourselves. 111 Likes 13 Shares |

Too much food in the midst of so much hunger. Dumping food cos no one to consume, whereas somewhere, there is not enough to go round. Abeg Jor there is no excuse for ds kinda waste. The govt and other philantropists should be able to cover the cost of transporting/exporting this foods down the food chain. I dont like what i hate 39 Likes 2 Shares |

The world is going on factory reset. We will come out stronger and better in the end. The human race has never been overpowered by natural disasters.

Amotolongbo:Before everyone drags you through the mud in the name of some phantom "pride" (even the ones posting their account details on multiple threads here and every celebrity page on social media begging for money for food and talking about how basic feeding is a challenge), i want to tell you that it was a good submission from you. Sadly, i doubt that such an idea would be given a lot of thought -- as lots of these farmers will likely be battling enormous economic loss, and altruism might just be the last thing on their mind at the moment. 52 Likes 4 Shares |

Amotolongbo: You talked bringing them to Africa, when they don't even have enough money to push them beyond the limit of their locality. Its like you don't know what is happening in the State? A friend of mine left last June to go and do his MSc in the State, as we were chatting and calling each other on Whatsapp, he became too arogant and proud of the State as if he has been there for decades. It got me pissed, I stopped chatting with him. Few days ago, I sent few lines of messages to him in connection to his America, I playfully cajoled him on how America is humiliated and become the humble one now. He couldn't say a word but shamefully agree to the point. 42 Likes 5 Shares |
