Stephanie Nash, a Turning Point USA ambassador, spoke out about the issue on "Fox & Friends" on Wednesday, saying the threat of drought, price hikes due to inflation and an increasing number of regulations are creating serious problems for farmers.
"That's a big food security threat to our future here in America," Nash told guest host Katie Pavlich.
"California, they have tons of regulations with air quality, with water coalitions, just being able to get resources they need. It's like they're pushing us into a corner to go out of business," she said.
The biggest problem remains, however, that the U.S. Department of Agriculture has not kept up with a changing world, Nash asserted.
She said the USDA needs to consider the threats from severe weather and how family farmers are being impacted. Nash explained that some farmers have resorted to burning hay in order to keep crops warm.
"Where's politicians and where's the USDA when we are trying to save our crops and our animals from weather devastation?" she asked.
"And they want to tell us how to do our job on the side with regulations."
Nash stressed the need for the government and the public to support local agriculture as foreign countries purchase U.S. farmland and inflation continues to ravage the economy. She predicted America will see many family farmers and ranchers go out of business in 2023 as a result.

"If you look at Big Corp, Big Government, they are the ones killing off family farmers and ranchers and reaping the benefit of Americans at the grocery store," she said.
"That's the truth of what is happening in America, and that's the truth of what will happen if we don't start to wake up and support local."

What a surprise.
I have this gut feeling that by the time 2023 is well under way, we are going to be wishing it was 2022 again, for the good old days.

There seems to be a breakout on the war on CO2 that is a war on nitrogen (fertilizer). The population reduction crowd will probably try to take from private gardens because independent people is who they want to reduce. My garden is not visible from the road or neighbors. I hope this is not going to get “real bad”, but I think it could.
“”California, they have tons of regulations with air quality, with water coalitions, just being able to get resources they need. It’s like they’re pushing us into a corner to go out of business,” she said. “
There is too much farming here. Bot the watersheds (rivers) and aquifers are being depleted.
It’s not sustainable.
Fortunately, there’s a political coalition of left and native right to hold the line on water distribution. 50% to the rivers/delta, 40% to farmers and 10% to municipalities.
If I was growing peaches, almonds or walnuts in CA, I would shift to olives. Because this coalition will hold.
Lesson #1: You want misery and despair? Keep Biden.

Published by M. Shahbandeh , Jun 15, 2022
This statistic shows the total inventory of all chickens in the U.S. from 2000 to 2020. In 2020, the number of all chickens in the United States totaled around 518.3 million.
How Many Chickens Are Eaten Each Day? As of 2014, in the United States, 8 billion chickens are consumed per year, which translates to 21,917,808 chickens per day. Americans eat 25 billion chicken wings per year, with 1.25 billion, or 100 million pounds, eaten during the Super Bowl weekend alone.
How Many Chickens are There in the World? (2022 Statistics)
The numbers are huge and mind boggling for just chickens. For the food on your table today some body was planning several years ago. To have capricious laws and regulations changed at the whim of demogogs can throw carefully laid plans out of wack for years,
bkmk
Big Government, they are the ones killing off family farmers.
Biden said his plan would work and it did.
