Has No Life - Lives on TB
I wonder if these processors aren't being threatened to comply with an agenda or lose their facility. Like the Chinese mafia or some other organization (WEF) applying mussel to force them to do what they want. If not, they destroy the business. Same people who were behind all the other violence and destruction we've seen these last few years.

AGCO's business operations disrupted by ransomware attack

Leading U.S.-based agricultural machinery producer AGCO (Your Agriculture Company) has suffered a ransomware attack, which has impacted some production facilities.

AGCO noted it is still investigating the extent of the attack and is anticipating that business operations will be affected for several days. AGCO, however, carefully noted their expectations with regard to resolving the issues are forward-looking statements, and actual results “could be materially different” due to several factors, including their ability to successfully reinstall software and restore IT operations at the affected sites, AGCO said.

Headquartered in Duluth, Georgia, USA, AGCO had net sales of $11.1 billion in 2021 and has 1,810 dealerships in North America. Amid the ransomware attack, Reuters has reported that dealers are struggling to keep up with backlogged orders due to supply chain constraints.

Ransomware attacks against critical infrastructure organizations have increased globally. Recently, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) warned that ransomware actors are more likely to attack agricultural cooperatives during critical planting and harvest seasons, disrupting operations, causing financial loss and negatively impacting the food supply chain. In addition, between September 15 and October 6, 2021, six grain cooperatives experienced ransomware attacks, the FBI said.

A significant disruption of grain production could impact the entire food supply chain, commodities trading and stocks and have cascading effects down to the farm level.

In a ransomware attack or other security incident that results in network downtime, organizations must be prepared with proper backup and recovery efforts, says Craig McDonald, Vice President of Product Management at BackBox. A solid backup and disaster recovery plan must include:
  • collecting a complete inventory of all applications, software and hardware
  • outlining specific individual responsibilities in the event of a disaster and ensuring those individuals understand their responsibilities
  • having alternative communication methods in place
  • carrying out regular reviews of this plan as a whole.

“Scheduling regular backups, as well as knowing exactly what is being backed up and when, are key components to ensuring overall business continuity in the case of downtime,” Craig adds. “Companies that prioritize best practices for backup and unplanned network downtime will radically decrease time spent offline.”

I don't know if this one will count, I can certainly delete if not. 500 chickens and ducks, while not commercial per the article, that's a lot of poultry! Perhaps raising them for backyard flocks:

Va. barn fire that killed 500 animals ruled an accident | WTOP News

Va. barn fire that killed 500 animals ruled an accident; no cause determined
Rick Massimo | rmassimo@wtop.com
May 9, 2022, 3:16 PM

The barn fire that killed more than 500 animals in Prince William County, Virginia, has been ruled an accident, although fire officials say the barn was so badly damaged that they can’t tell what the exact cause was.

The fire started around 3:30 a.m. Sunday in Gainesville, along Lee Highway. About 500 chickens and ducks, four dogs and three pigs died in the fire. No humans were hurt.

“Due to the severity of the destruction, an actual fire cause cannot be determined,” fire officials said in a statement Monday.

They said the barn was privately rented, and was not part of a commercial operation.

Fire personnel were sent to the Cargill Canada poultry processing plant in London, ON Monday morning after a blaze ignited at the facility.

Arriving at the Cuddy Boulevard location, firefighters observed a large volume of smoke and flames in an area of the structure, officials told Global News. The news organization described damages to the plant as “substantial.”
Crews were able to douse the flames without injury, London News Today reported. An investigation into the cause of the fire is underway. The incident was said to have started in a part of the facility used for trash compaction.
Officials stated that fire does not appear to be suspicious in nature.

Cargill Canada’s plant in London processes more than 100,000 chickens per day, according to information on the firm’s website. The site has a headcount of 900 workers.

Didn't see this listed. Fire was May 25th


PROSSER, WA A spectacular fire demolished M & E Seed and Grain Co. in Prosser and left one person with burns. A smoldering pile of twisted metal and charred lumber was all that remained Thursday morning after firefighters battled the blaze in downtown Prosser all night. A few firefighters remained at the scene to monitor the fire.

“We’re getting many calls of the grain elevator just exploded ...” emergency dispatchers told police initially. The fireball lit up the area and sent a huge plume of smoke into the sky over the Lower Yakima Valley. About 22 fire units from various fire agencies through the valley were called out to the old feed store and grain elevator where flames could be seen shooting into the air. Firefighters closed 7th Street and Stacey Avenue while they battled the flames from the ground and from aerial ladder trucks.

HOWARD LAKE, Minn. (WCCO) — Massive flames burned down a barn with tens of thousands of chickens in Wright County.

The fire started late Saturday night at Forsman Farms in Howard Lake, causing major damage.

The Trebesch family thought they would spend Saturday night around their bonfire, but just after 10 p.m. they noticed massive flames across the field at Forsman Farms.

“It was unbelievable how quick it grew, it was insane,” Andy Trebesch said. “It was the whole sky, it was quite large.”

Just horrifying! Is it possible the owners are doing this on purpose due to potential losses from bird flu? Do they receive compensation from their flocks being culled or do they eat the loses? They would have insurance from the fires right? I hope whoever investigates these farm fires isn't bribed to look the other way and actually does their job. I don't hold out much hope though based on other explanations I've seen.

Fire at massive composting facility blanketing High Desert with smoke, foul stench

A fire at a compost facility that processes grass clippings and sewage has blanketed nearby small High Desert communities with smoke and stench.

Fire at massive composting facility blanketing High Desert with smoke, foul stench
Charlie McGee, Victorville Daily Press
Tue, May 31, 2022, 7:12 PM·4 min read


A fire at a massive compost facility that processes sewage and grass clippings from San Bernardino County and Southern California has blanketed nearby small High Desert communities with smoke and stench.

San Bernardino County Fire Battalion Chief Mike McClintock told the Daily Press that the fire could last a week. The department was first dispatched to the fire on Saturday.

The compost-facility operators are now leading the handling of the blaze while the fire department monitors the fire-fighting efforts, McClintock said.


The hard part is they have acres and acres of this compost that’s a deep-seated fire, and it’s been very windy,” he said. “Just putting the fire out is easier said than done, so the facility on site is going to be handling the suppression efforts. They’ve got to disassemble and break apart the piles.”

The Nursery Products Hawes Composting Facility sits less than a dozen miles west of the unincorporated town of Hinkley near Helendale Road and State Route 58. The facility is owned by Baltimore, Maryland-based Synagro Technologies Inc., which in late 2020 was acquired by an arm of investment-banking giant Goldman Sachs Group Inc., per a report by Global Legal Chronicle at the time.
Multiple surrounding High Desert community residents posted about the fire’s effects in private Facebook groups for locals over Memorial Day weekend.

“Could somebody please tell me what that awful smell of something burning has been going on for a few days I smelt it out here off the grid by Fort Irwin?” one resident posted Sunday afternoon in a group for Barstow locals.

A Hinkley resident responded that the plant between Harper Lake and Hinkley “apparently (is) on fire and will take days to put out. The wind is making worse… I had wondered if you guys in Barstow could smell it too. It’s awful!”
Another group member responded to clarify: “is that the plant that has the dry human waste.”

“Yes, it is,” the Hinkley resident responded. “Call air quality control.”

A Barstow resident posted in a different private group Monday evening: “Is there a fire somewhere — it’s 8:33, and I smell a fire near the Rite Aid area!”

“It’s the poop farm please call and complain,” one resident responded, adding a screenshot of the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District’s website page for complaints.


The fire “jumped into other large piles” of waste Saturday due to complications including extreme winds and a lack of a residential hydrant system in the area, meaning firefighters were relying on their water tenders and fire engines to carry water from off-site to the compost facility, McClintock said.

“To continually flow high amounts of water is very difficult, and then couple that with the crazy winds that we had up there during that period, the suppression efforts were futile,” he said.

County firefighters remained on-site until Sunday morning.

People have continued calling in to report the flames for days, the battalion chief said, adding that the property operators are working as fast as they can to mitigate the fire in tough conditions.

“They’re managing the fire in their piles, and they’re working with their heavy equipment and their folks to manage the fire on the property,” he said. “If it escapes or threatens to escape it, we’d respond out there and activate suppression efforts from the county side.”

County Fire is aware of previous fires it has responded to at this facility, but McClintock said he didn’t have the dates in front of him, adding that this fire is the largest to date.
Synagro spokesman Richard Ruberti told the Daily Press he hadn’t heard about a fire at the facility until the Daily Press called to inquire about it Tuesday.

The High Desert facility handles waste for all of San Bernardino County and behemoth neighboring regions as far as the City of Los Angeles.


“Permitted to manage 400,000 wet tons of material per year, we are the closest and largest biosolids recycling option for the five largest counties in California,” Synagro stated in a 2018 fact sheet about the facility.
The site spans about 160,000 acres and is permitted by California to take in up to 2,000 tons per day of biosolids, or what the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dubs “sewage sludge” and green waste. This solid waste is delivered to the facility by trucks from outside facilities such as wastewater treatment plants to compost it into useful resources like fertilizer.

Hinkley, a community of about 2,000 people a short drive east of the facility now on fire, is no stranger to environmental problems: The Oscar-winning 2000 biopic “Erin Brockovich" depicted the successful real-life lawsuit by the film’s namesake against Pacific Gas and Electric Company for contaminating the town's groundwater used by locals for basic needs like drinking and cooking.
