The White House said the Department of Agriculture will allocate $1 billion from the American Rescue Plan to help jump-start independent meat processing projects, provide worker training, strengthen financing systems for independent processors, and make changes to regulations that will help smaller processing plants keep up with demand. The Biden administration also announced other changes will be made, including new rules on using the label "Product of USA" for meat products and efforts to make the meat industry "fairer and more transparent." “Electric Glass” Could Unlock a $3.3 Trillion Energy Revolution This might be the biggest disruption the energy industry has EVER seen. A brand-new piece of battery technology that I call “Electric Glass” is not only 10 times more powerful than a lithium-ion battery and only a fraction of the size... But it could power your entire city for up to 150 years without needing to be replaced! Never before has so much energy been able to be stored in such a small space. And once “Electric Glass” is rolled out all over every corner of the globe... The amount of wealth that could be up for grabs is almost limitless. [Read more about the massive windfall potential of “Electric Glass” here.]( The White House blames rising meat prices on "dominant middlemen" who "control so much of the supply chain, they can increase their own profits at the expense of both farmers — who make less — and consumers — who pay more." It says, "Four large meat-packing companies control 85% of the beef market. In poultry, the top four processing firms control 54% of the market. And in pork, the top four processing firms control about 70% of the market" which creates a "lack of competition hurting consumers, producers, and our economy." And these efforts can help change that. But how will any of that help lower your grocery bill? Well, it probably won't. The administration's new plan really seems aimed to help farmers the most. The White House says, "Most farmers now have little or no choice of buyer for their product and little leverage to negotiate, causing their share of every dollar spent on food to decline. 50 years ago, ranchers got over $0.60 of every dollar a consumer spent on beef, compared to about $0.39 today. Similarly, hog farmers got $0.40 to $0.60 on each dollar spent 50 years ago, down to about $0.19 today." "Even as farmers’ share of profits have dwindled," the White House continues, "American consumers are paying more — with meat and poultry prices now the single-largest contributor to the rising cost of food people consume at home." But even if the $1 billion in spending and changes to regulations do help farmers increase their profit, the changes will likely do little to help lower your grocery bill. The price of food is rising due to a multitude of factors. It's not just one or two or even just a handful of things moving food prices higher. There are a million factors all adding to food price increases from energy to labor. Helping farmers won't directly help consumers. Unfortunately there is little you can do to control food prices. You have more control over the weather. But you can hedge against rising food prices. I've just finished putting the final touches on [a fully detailed, 7,000-word report]( that tells investors all about a tiny Canadian company that is insanely leveraged to profit as food prices continue to rise in 2022. This tiny, still unknown company is sitting on one of the world's most important deposits of what I've been calling a [“miracle mineral”]( — one that is absolutely vital to modern agriculture and the food industry and is being explored for cutting-edge lithium battery and hydrogen fuel cell technology.

A revolution that scientists believe is going to completely reshape what we know about science, society, and culture. But here’s the thing — the technology itself is not brand-new. We’ve already seen it at work. For instance, it played a big hand in the production of the COVID vaccines. Bill Gates himself said that it’s “one of the most powerful technologies of the 21st century.” In fact, it’s already growing at a rate that’s 10x faster than the internet… And there’s already 400 possible applications for it! That’s why I believe this technology I call “Helix-Scaling” is going to be the most important megatrend of the next 20 years… Billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Peter Thiel, and Mark Zuckerberg have already poured billions of dollars into funding this sector! But there’s only one little-known company standing at the foot of this $4 trillion market. That’s why you need to act BEFORE “Helix-Scaling” technology becomes mainstream news. Because once this technology has reached mass-adoption, the biggest gains are off the table.
