Historically the process of pickling was a necessity and invaluable way to preserve foods through the colder months. Vlasic is a Michigan company, started by Joseph Vlasic in 1957, and their pickles are processed in Imlay City, Michigan but Holland, Michigan has the largest pickle factory in the world, processing about 25,000 bushels of cucumbers daily.

The U.S. has traditionally been an agricultural powerhouse with a healthy trade surplus. But global dynamics are changing due to a confluence of political and economic factors. U.S. agricultural imports now exceed exports, and the trade deficit is projected to worsen in the coming years.

The U.S. government shutdown has resulted in the loss of this month’s Dairy Products report, the U.S. Dairy Trade report, the World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates, last week’s Crop Progress and Crop reports, and many others, which meant less for the markets to feed on. It also put on hold any assistance to farmers, particularly soybean growers, hurting over the loss of export sales to China.

The per-diem rate for detainees at this facility is $291 per detainee per day ― an unusually high premium compared to the $75-85 the federal government reimburses other facilities used as ICE detention centers in Indiana. ICE will also reimburse the cost of translation services on phone calls for detainees at a rate of up to 89 cents per minute, according to the contract.

Meanwhile, the actual cost of providing housing, meals and transportation for prisoners at Miami Correctional is about $80 per person.

Furthermore, barring "acts of God" that would prevent the facility from running, Indiana is guaranteed to pull in at least $79 million from this contract. That's because after a 120-day ramp up period, ICE agrees to pay for a minimum of 450 beds, even if they aren't filled.

"I trust that you understand that some people have a different perspective, little bit maybe more focused on human rights and the real function of Indiana government, and wonder how we find ourselves in this position where we’re going to profit on somebody else’s misery," Indianapolis state Rep. Ed Delaney said.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security plans to reimburse Indiana 3.5 times the actual cost of detaining people at the Miami Correctional Facility.

The Wall Street Journal said separating the crop-seed unit from its pesticide business could help shield its seeds from any potential future liabilities associated with its pest and weed-killing chemicals.
