I'll put this here and go from here. Something tells me MOST here don't get this information. My ex was born and raised on an Iowa farm decades ago and when he grew up he left the farming world and joined the scholastic world and tech...... I have to believe more and more young generations are NOT farming the land, so no farming, no food??? Correct..... Here is a summary of all this that I received today. This is NO JOKE, it's what is happening. https://articles.mercola.com/sites/a...rid=1937550638 STORY AT-A-GLANCE A war against farmers has emerged, threatening to push them off the land they’ve farmed for generations As small and mid-sized farms close their doors, governments and corporate entities can scoop up the land Those in control of the land control the food supply and, along with it, the people Much of this threat is cloaked under Agenda 2030, which includes 17 sustainable development goals with 169 specific targets to be imposed across the globe, in every country, by 2030 The push to eat insects is part of this plan; in 2021, the European Commission authorized mealworms as food, releasing a news release touting “the growing role that insects will play as part of a healthier, more sustainable diet” Are green policies around the world, targeting everything from too much nitrogen to protection of endangered species, all part of a plan to get small farmers off the land, paving the way for totalitarian control of the food supply — and insects as part of your daily diet? These and other tough questions are posed by Roman Balmakov, Epoch Times reporter and host of Facts Matter, in "No Farmers, No Food: Will You Eat the Bugs?"1 Balmakov says:2 Do some hard praying that the above information is ********e.... I have been encountering food shorages for months in food orders and other orders I place...
Joy, you should take a look at Farm & Ranch Magazine. You'd find out there are still a lot of farms and ranches still operating thru out America. From 8th grade thru the 12 grade/Senior year, I was raised on a small hog farm in northeastern Indiana. Our neighbors raised both hogs and beef cattle. During, and after, my Service in the Navy, I returned to the farm, but only to visit my step-parents/guardians. Decided I never wanted to farm again, but livestock and doing crops was still in my blood. A few of my classmates returned to farming after military service and some didn't. I was one that didn't. Wife and I totally/100% respect both farmers and ranches and what they do for America, but there are those that don't care how farmers/ranchers help America. That is just a fact.
Cody, if there is any truth to the info I posted, think long and hard about where we've been in our country and where things are now. Do you believe in the New Reset info???? And it's not about Respect, I 10000% respect them, BUT things have gotten out of hand with the Globalists.....NEW RESET and that is what covid has been the start of. Or sho uld I say "things took off" that has been inn the works for decades, Depopulation..... You don't buy this Cody???? And the young people do not want to do farming, they want tech, They are born with a screen in their hands not a shovel.
{shrug} every time I go to Publix, the shelves are full. In fact I am always amazed at the cereal aisle. Overwhelming number of choices. I am not worried about a food shortage.
Processed food is their food of choice for the masses. Hope you like cereal. But good fruits and vegetables? Look at the labels--from Mexico, Peru, Chile...Not from here. When there are supply chain issues, what happens? Did you have issuers during Covid? Think about EMP, fuel interruptions..... China is buying out farmland. Small farmers around here have been selling out. The work has always been hard but it is no longer as rewarding. Large equipment puts everyone in huge debt...Prices for land went way up so they are leaving.
Actually I rarely eat cereal. Good fruits and veggies? I've not had a problem getting what I want, although the white flesh peaches and nectarines are no longer in season. Covid problems? Nah, not really. And the consolidation of small farms into larger farms has been going on during my entire lifetime, and before. In 1870, half of all workers were in agriculture. By 1900 (my grandparents era) that number was down to 1/3, and by 1950 it was less than 1/5th. Today, it is about 10%. Not sure the Chinese had anything to do with any of this.
btw., I'm making pot roast with baby carrots, small potatoes, and onion. Carrots and potatoes are from USA. Onion isn't labeled. And the pot roast is from USA.
Some former farms here have been turned into housing developments. To keep that trend under control, land trusts have been created. A land trust or land conservancy is a community-based, nonprofit organization that actively works to permanently conserve land. In some cases, land trusts acquire land outright. They also partner to conserve land that remains the property of willing landowners using a tool called a conservation easement. A small effort by PA has been to issue vouchers for seniors at $10 each for a total of $50 to buy locally grown produce. I use mine to buy fresh fruit from an orchard up the mountain. They also make cider and fruit pastries.
Apparently you don't know what goes on in the Ag world??? There are plenty of young folks are still farming/ranching and continue to. Yes, some have sold out, but that's not everywhere in America. That magazine, Farm & Ranch shows that!
Cody, hope you don't have to Eat your words....you seem to be an expert on it all including the shots.....
I don't see it changing in my lifetime, although because of inflation I may have to substitute Spam for the post roast...
