Someone at the top, either Trump or the governors of the states need to take a stand and say they are legal and if you fuck with anyone that has one, you will be in deep shit.

Quoting: BeelzeBob We have the tech and the resources to grow/raise lots of food but the Sun and grow seasons will not wait on us, and if transportation and labor aren't made available it will be a long, cold, winter. Heard this from a grasshopper once. Stop it! We have more than enough food. I come from a long line of farmers. We are planting as we speak in some areas! Take this bullshit and sell it somewhere else! So all the imported food we normally get was just for show? Maybe from long line of dirt farmers.... I'm not from Canada, not that there's anything wrong with that..... |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76011788 Yes I do wish we kept a three year supply of grains in the USA as we once did! We are scheduled to sell millions of tons of pork to the Chinese Because of the loss of millions of pigs in China ... due to a swine VIRUS! Grain contract bids are up a little for the coming year but apparently not by much. I “think” we still pay farmers not to grow crops ... but I am NOT an expert. Perhaps someone in AGRI-Business will give us a report. I would not sell China shit! Nothing! They wouldn't get anything from me! I'd tell those farmers, were taking care of us first! Fuck the rest! |

Heard this from a grasshopper once. The farmers know when to plant their crops and how to care for their livestock. They havent stopped working and wont. Farm families got you so dont worry about that ! All of you "alleged" farmers that say there is nothing to worry about are clearly trolls or lack common sense. Our agriculture planning and production was determined based on one set of expectations. Those expectations have changed in a huge way. Unless we previously grew and raised enough food for our own nation, we will likely be short. On top of the expected supply chain impact, we will have a resource problem. No one fills up their gas tank and then fills up a 50 gallon drum to hall around just in case they need it. Are you telling me that the farmers and everyone else involved downstream have already planned on producing enough to feed an entire nation with no extra imports...is that really what you are saying? Do you know what all fellow farmers are doing acrosss the nation? I'm not from Canada, not that there's anything wrong with that..... |

There will be no more vegan agenda pushed on any plane of existence, from now on plants will stay in the consciousness of 2D. although it makes a lot more sense to farm your land for vegetables and not meat doesn't it [ A farm is holistic, not specialized. Our livestock improve the quality of the soil, the soil produces abundance, the abundance is shared with the livestock, the seasons keep it all functioning in perfect order. The age of the specialists is coming to an end in a big way. Or as we say, the chickens have come come to roost. |

Quoting: BeelzeBob We can do without a lot of things, but food is not one of them. If our domestic production cannot support our own population, then we will slide off a slippery slope in about 1 month. Now is the time to hustle. This cannot be fixed later with duct tape. Have you not learned anything in the past three months? Did you not learn anything from your history lesson on Pearl Harbor? We as a nation is incapable of making small changes now to prevent bigger issues in the future, the ONLY way a politician or BIG STATE bureaucrat can make decisive or hard decisions is AFTER the crisis is totally on top of us. You better get out and plant your own garden and start your own rabbit farm NOW cause by this fall, the shortages are going to be stark and you are correct, the growing season is gone and there is NO WAY or amount of money to make up for it.

I think farmers need to be respected and valued as they have not been for DECADES. The other day I went online and ordered frozen meat directly from a family farm I found that takes online orders. It probably cost $20-30 more than if I had purchased it at a grocery store but it felt GOOD to be valuing them and obtaining quality meat. ~~*NOT* a very nice kitty!~~ "Plan for the worst, hope for the best, and don't live in fear." |
