How can you order a farmer to destroy their trees? I hope he fights in a higher court. Wish I’d heard about the nectarine giveaway. I’d have gone to pick some.

    There are tons of products that end up destroyed simply due to accounting practices. As a business, you can’t just keep product around in the hope that you sell it next year, even if it’s completely non-perishable. You are required to write it off as a loss and get rid of it. If no other business is willing to buy your unsold stock at a bulk discount, then it goes in the dumpster.
