Meat ‘sticker shock’ looms with no end to worker shortage
to get better at mar- keting their career opportunities, a hur- dle facing other fields that rely on blue collar workers. “It can be difficult to compete with some of the wages being of- fered, as well as the type of work,” said Young, who has been with the trade group since 2013. “Our indus- try can be hard work, but also rewarding as you are meeting the needs of feeding peo- ple. It is going to take a while to get people back to work.” Smithfield Foods, the world’s biggest pork producer, is pay- ing workers more, but also touting perks like $2,500 relocation pay- ments and Walmart
gift cards. Rival JBS SA is offering signing and retention bonus- es totaling $3,200. And it’s trying to lure peo- ple to job fairs with free lunch. “It’s been a chal- lenge,” said Jim Monroe, vice president of corporate affairs for Smithfield. Meat processors can also invest in au- tomation to boost productivity and re- duce labor, according to Glynn Tonsor, a pro- fessor of agricultural economics at Kansas State University. However, the industry has been pursuing this for years with little to show for it, he said. It’s also pushing for the federal government to expand work visas.

Amazon alone aims to bring on 150,000 temps, a 50% in- crease from a year ago, at an average starting hourly wage of at least $18, which exceeds or matches a lot of meat processing jobs. The la- bor battle in retail has been intense for years, pushing chains to boost pay and add benefits such as parental leave and college reimburse- ment. Christopher Young, executive direc- tor for the American Association of Meat Processors, said there isn’t an easy answer. But the industry is working to establish butcher programs at colleges and intern- ships. He also said meatpackers need
exacerbated the hir- ing woes, while raising new concerns about how meatpack- ers will recruit in the long term. The in- dustry expected the labor shortage to get easier after extra un- employment benefits in COVID-19 relief end- ed in September, but it hasn’t. Across the overall job market, the number of people quit- ting is surging and job openings remain near all-time highs. Online postings for meat pro- cessing positions are up 66% from a year ago, according to Emsi Burning Glass, an ana- lytics firm. “Employers are go- ing to get increasingly desperate,” said Ron Hetrick, senior la- bor economist at Emsi Burning Glass. Meanwhile, retailers and shipping compa- nies are adding to the pressure with plans to hire hundreds of thou- sands of workers for
$3,000, but they’re still short workers and, as a result, there are an increasing number of sparse shelves. For America’s meat eaters, this is a prob- lem. Some cuts have soared 25% over the past year, while others are fetching near-re- cord prices, making meat one of the biggest contributors to pan- demic inflation. And industry experts expect meat to keep gaining through the holidays and beyond. “The sticker shock is what we all need to be prepared for,” said Bindiya Vakil, chief executive officer of sup- ply-chain consultant Resilinc. “This is here to stay, at least through the summer of 2022.” Before COVID-19, meat processors strug- gled to meet their labor needs, which increased the hiring of immi- grant workers mostly from Mexico.

OPEN ENROLLMENT… A DOUBLE HEADER
company and drug company revises their contracts annually so it’s a good thing to review to see if your medications are going to be covered next year and the new rates. For 2022, the Drug deductible will be $480. For those of you that hit the donut hole, you’ll be glad to know that the cap is narrowing every year. Once through the donut hole, Medicare picks up 95% of the cost of the medication. The big news is the addition of a couple of Medicare Advantage plans available in our area. Those bundle Medicare Part A, B, Medicare supplement, and the drug plans together along with some dental, vision and hearing benefits. These plans do have some copays, but the premiums are reduced. If you are interested in looking at these plans, call the office or stop by to pick up a medication form and list your current Medicare supplement premium so we can do an accurate comparison for you. For those of you 64 and under needing an individual plan, your health insurance Open Enrollment Period goes from Nov. 1st to Jan. 15th… . The enrollment period has been extended this year, but if you want want the effective date to be the 1st of
January, you’ll need to enroll by the 15th of Dec. Good news – in addition to Medica & Bright Health, that most of you are familiar with, we will have two new carriers coming to Nebraska called Oscar and Ambetter. All will offer Affordable Care Act (ACA) compliant plans for the state of Nebraska. Both new carriers have been providing services in surrounding states for several years. The average rate increase in Nebraska was moderate (between 1.3%-10% depending on the plan) for next year. We can enroll directly with the carriers or through the Marketplace if you are eligible for a subsidy. They have several options each with different deductibles and co-pays for next year. Some new plans even include dental for adults. Those of you receiving a Marketplace subsidy received a letter from your carrier showing the new rate but it doesn’t show the new subsidy, so the premium looks higher than last year. Don’t panic, unless your income changed, you’ll probably be paying about the same as you did last year. If you think you are eligible for a subsidy for next year, be sure to bring in last
year’s tax return and/or a check stub with a YTD so we can calculate your income for next year. Those of you that were previously not eligible for a subsidy due to your income being above the range may be eligible for 2022. Rather than a cap, if the cost of insurance is more than 8.5% of your income, you are eligible for a subsidy, which will reduce your premium. Again, you can purchase a “short term” plan that will last up to 364 days or up to 3 years. Again, these short- term plans won’t cover pre-existing conditions, and have a benefit cap unlike the ACA compliant plans but these work for some people and are substantially less expensive. Open Enrollment is a busy time for insurance agents with the Medicare and Health Insurance Open Enrollment Periods over-lapping. Plan ahead and don’t procrastinate. Call your friendly insurance agent, shop your options, and get your new plans and pricing set up. If you have questions or want to schedule an appointment with Rebecca Nordquist at Phares Financial, 319 East B Street in North Platte. Call 308- 532-3180 to schedule a time.

Are you confused with all the advertising reminding you that it’s Open Enrollment Time? Whether the ad is from AARP, Humana, or any other insurance company, you are being bombarded by the “sign up now” advertising. Let’s clarify, there are 2 open enrollment periods opening soon. The first one is the Enrollment Period for those on Medicare who need to review their Medicare Part D Drug Plan. It runs from October 15th to December 7, 2021 for a January 1st effective date. Medicare recipients should bring in their updated medication lists so that an agent can provide them with updated recommendations on plans for 2022. Just because their medication is covered by their current plan for this year, doesn’t mean it’s covered for 2022. Every insurance

A second logistical question that is raised during many harvest seasons is the supply and application of an- hydrous fertilizer to fields. Until recent- ly the soil was not yet cool enough for safe an- hydrous application. That has changed in the past week or two, but a sudden wet spell could potentially complicate anhydrous applications. More of an issue for farmers is the fact that anhydrous prices have shot up this fall. Prices have tripled in many areas, Holm said. Supplies are tight and few suppliers have any extra anhydrous on hand. Dry fertilizer has been less of a problem because dealers can stockpile and store it more easily than can be

The good news from a logistical standpoint during this fall’s har- vest is that most of the grain coming out of the field is relatively dry. That means lower dry- ing costs for farmers and fewer issues related to drying capacity. “That takes the pres- sure off of LP (gas),” said Dave Holm, ex- ecutive director of the Iowa Institute for Cooperatives. “If we had had a wet harvest, that would have been an issue this year.” Logistically, Holm said the harvest is coming in larger than was expected and that means some grain han- dlers are beginning to
