Show Notes
Skyrocketing beef prices and supply shortages are causing sticker shock for grocery shoppers in Simcoe County and across Ontario. Factors like rising costs for diesel, fertilizers, and animal feed are squeezing farmers and suppliers, while a dwindling beef herd and lack of new farmers are exacerbating the issue. Pork and chicken prices are also on the rise, with beef leading the charge at nearly 14% higher. Local butchers offer tips to help consumers stretch their dollars further amid the food inflation squeeze.
