Biden admin diverting funds from farmers

[hog88]

Yeah. Keep it in the hands of the producers but coordinate the crops so to speak.

Sure at the coop level. No .gov input or control.

True but it will get even worse. There are still avenues for small farmers can get around the big guys, there are still coops that are farmer owned. What would end up happening is a Monsanto type company would end up with not only the seed stock but the land to produce. They could then set the prices they want once the land is gobbled up.

I think I saw an article last week stating bill Gates owns over 200,000 acres of farm land in the United States along some of the most fertile ground in the country. Just purchased a big farm in Washington state.

People for so long have taken for granted what they can walk in and get at the grocery store. What happens when a precious commodity such as food is control by so few? Ding ding ding, they can control the price.

Pretty much just like the big 4 slaughter companies controlling prices for beef calves at market.

Food OPEC.

My step son works for a seed company. He works with tomato growers, watermelons, green beans, etc. Some of these farms south of Miami out in Fla City have single fields that are 8-10 miles long and 3-5 miles wide.

Yep and there are dairies that are milking 3 to 5000 cows per day 3x a day. Just think what would happen if Dean Foods, Nestle, and Danone owned the farms along with the plants?

I promise to be a kind and benevolent dictator. I will be the least dic-ish of all the great dictators in history.

My first act would be demoting Nick Saban to head coach of Moore Junior High and declaring pecan pie as a major food group.

Warren Buffet and family owns at least 2000 acres personally and BH is supposed to own another several thousand acres (I can't find the exact amount).

And then wait to see how long it takes to fill up a shelf with groceries for those who depend on said farmers to eat every day. The corn and taters just don't magically appear.

I don't care. It only hurts poor people.

idiots.

Government council? NO! I like the idea of coops.

We were in a coop a long time ago. It was great. Hopefully we will find one when we move back to Tennessee.

Exception: Kale. We can discontinue the kale crop.

Kale is the result of a cactus f&cking a head of lettuce!
