Feds damaging domestic rubber manufacturers

al.com: NewsFlash - Condom plants in Wiregrass announce layoffs

Why?
Chief Executive Officer Larry Povlacs told the Dothan Eagle newspaper that the U.S. Agency for International Development recently reduced its order of condoms from the company and is now doing business with Asian and Australian-based companies.
Apparently, they're cheaper. Yet another blow to the hardworking American condom maker.

Even more bad news for the wiregrass on top of a bad peanut harvest too. On the good side, though the closing the plants and a few farmers going out of business should help with global warming
