Stalin farms to ensue
Will the make America last Dems turn the USA into Venezuela on energy and Zimbabwe on growing food? I know that the Dems in DC hate America but do they really want to destroy our food growing abilities?
And China swoops in to buy at a discount.
10% for The Big Guy? Or James/Hunter??
o The cost to run the tractors and other equipment
o The cost to purchase fertilizer
o The cost to harvest and process the crops
o The cost to move the crops from farm to market
o The costs of packaging the product
Did I miss anything? The huge increase in productivity in the 20th century is in major part due to cheap energy from coal, gas, and oil. We now have a population over 8 Billion that still needs to be fed, clothed, and housed. Unless we replace this quickly with other inexpensive forms of energy like thorium-based nuclear power then we will have massive die-offs of people.
Stop shipping agricultural products to blue cities. Let them eat bugs and rats.
“What will the government do to interfere with this operation? That’s a horrible thing to have hanging over your head.”
That is EXACTLY why I left the power business after 30 years. I just couldn’t stand it any more.
Government tampering with our energy supply was bad, but tampering with our food supply is far worse. Of course, a lot of government tampering with our energy supply ruins every sector that depends on energy...which is the entire economy.
“Biden is trying to get rid of fossil fuels, and it’s killing us...”
It’s NOT ‘fossil fuels’; it’s PETROLEUM.
CORRECT:
“Farmers all over . . . say they are being pushed to those limits by President Biden’s attack on energy.”
Energy Comes from Walls
Food Comes from Shelves
Socialism is the Longest Distance Between Two Points
No doubt that’s the plan. You’ll own nothing and be happy.
Store chains, he said, bring in sweet potatoes from Georgia — where, under federal law, seasonal farm workers make just $11.99 per hour, compared to the $15.54 hourly wage mandated in New Jersey.
But Reeves’ operation is about to take a direct hit from Gov. Kathy Hochul. Next year, the Democrat’s Labor Department plans to phase in a lower overtime-pay threshold for farm workers: an unrealistic standard for weather-dependent jobs, farmers say, that could all but eliminate local crops from New York’s markets.
” His family’s organic berries are hand-picked by workers who come from Mexico on special H-2A visas each harvest season. But more and more foreign workers are refusing New York farm jobs and instead heading to states where they can rack up more hours.
I am reminded of the 1930s when people without jobs were starving. Yet food in the USA was so plentiful and cheap that the government decided to get the price UP by buying and slaughtering millions of head of cattle and hogs.
And they refused to give the poor any of that meat. It had to be shot and buried.
The Dems want upstate NY “gentrified” and the agricultural sector driven out, and their land turned into townhouses.
When we lose the farmers and farms, we all die. No amount of solar, wind and bugs will change that.
They’ve been promising food scarcity for years and finally just had to create it themselves.
The WEFers want half of us dead by 2050. This is one method of many.
“a worrisome development for America’s family farmers, who say government meddling threatens their livelihoods and the nation’s food security. “
Which is 100% intentional by the Biden occupation.
I went to a diner this morning for eggs and coffee. I hadn’t been there for a long time because of the Covid terror attack. $17 bucks for scrambled eggs, bacon, toast and one cup of coffee
this is all silly
food comes from the grocery store
just like electricity comes from the plug in the wall
How many tax dollars go through farm subsidies. Sounds like another 10 trillion dollar load created crisis inte works.
a local farmer friend sued our local Wegmans supermarket - he sold them some his greens and lettuce, which were in wooden crates, marked with his farm name and his small nearby town
The local Wegmans then built a display, using his crates, but filled with Mexican lettuce - clearly trying to deceive customers into thinking the product was from a local farm
