Reporter mackenzie drigo spoke to a beef farmer in oroville.

Mackenzie, it's one type of meat that they can't keep in stock?

I spoke with megan brown who is the manager at table mountain farm, she wants people to know there is an abundance supply of beef but the issue is that she can't keep her pigs in stock.

Brown tells me that when the stay at home order, farmers had to go back to their roots.

Brown depends on her cattle for income but she also sells pigs for people to raise in their farm or ranch.

"i cannot keep them in stock, i am sold out litters in advance, which it is giving me an income thank you, but this is changing the way i do business," brown tells me- she's is hopeful that after the pandemic - people will be more in touch with agriculture.

Coming up at 5, i spoke with a dairy farmer and he tells me how the pandemic is effecting their product.
