...The reason for surging bacon prices is that hog farmers have pared their herds due to high feed costs after corn prices hit a record near $8 a bushel last month. Retail bacon prices hit $4.77 a pound in May, according to the Labor Department, and Rich Nelson, director of research at Allendale, told Reuters that it could reach near $6 a pound in the next few months.The bacon community is outraged.
?Everyone is kind of freaking out about it,? Mosley said, adding that some bacon lovers have already reported seeing bacon prices above $6 a pound ? and that's for the generic, store-brand ?cheap stuff.?
Still, bacon lovers aren?t to be deterred.
?I think they?ll make cutbacks other places ? stop buying other things so they can afford bacon,? Mosley said. He personally said he?s willing to cut back on some fresh fruits and vegetables ? things like bananas. ?Get some good tomatoes and lettuce and forget the other stuff,? he said.
Some bacon mavens suggest it?s time to stock up for the coming crisis.
?Bacon lovers should take this as a warning that it?s time to head to the store and stock up. Tomatoes are beginning to ripen and prime BLT season is just around the corner,? said Heather Lauer, author of the book ?Bacon: A Love Story? and the Bacon Unwrapped blog. ? As hog farmers do what is necessary to survive in challenging economic times, bacon consumers need to protect themselves as well,? she said.
Mosley also suggests using Bacon Salt to hold you over ? it's a salt that adds bacon flavor to anything you sprinkle it on, though it isn't made of actual bacon.
As if the nation isn?t suffering enough, with high unemployment and gas prices still more than $3.50 a gallon, now we?re faced with a bacon crisis and the need to stockpile bacon.
