A lot of other companies that do on line sales are canceling orders. No stock, and or can't get the material to make the items.

Our freight ports are empty. No freighters waiting to be unloaded.

Good thing we aren't reliant on China for our food.

We are starting to import beef from Brazil. Livestock farmers are having trouble getting people for work because of this virus. Packers told the farmers to stay away because they don't have anyone to process the meat.

Farmers are behind in their planting because of flooding, frozen ground plus the virus.

Look for food prices to jump.
