Hope GMO will be banned same like in Rus
You can tell RFK and post to Policies for the People.
cargill and monstanto do NOT approve of your message!!
Ask a farmer if it’s harmful.
Mexico banned it too! Let's not forget to stop all the pesticides too!
Plant that seed, grow it, nurture it, weed it, feed it, grow it, harvest it, cook it ,sew it, can it, share it, make it, bake it, build it, create it, above all Share the knowledge with your Children, Grandchildren and Communities….it takes a village…not a “govern-ya-much”! Get planting, building, creating, teaching our future!
I started doing exactly this in 2014 when my wife and I sold our home in Austin and moved to rural Texas. Built fences, bought cows, chickens and goats, fenced off a garden area tilled and planted a garden. Here is what stunned ne. When I solicited help from kids and grandkids, crickets Just toral silence and avoidance. It became just like the story of the little red hen who wanted to plant a garden. After doing it by myself for the next 5 years. I quit. Now I grow only enough for my wife and I. When they all ask about fresh food eggs, or beef I just ask them when they want me to help them start. So far ....no takers. This is not at all what I envisioned, but this is where I am.
And yet if shit hits the fan, they’ll be at your place in no time. If and when that happens, please give all of them chores. I think the main issue of no work ethic in our society is that parents didn’t give chores to their kids and make them see it through and I’m saying this happened across all generations, even my own and I’m gen X.
This. It amazes me how kids don't have chores. I try to think when this happened and if I had to guess, it would be the 90s when the push that "you must go to college or you will be nobody in life" ramped up, especially with the initial web boom in the late 90s. All of a sudden "good" jobs "required" a degree and the fear of being left out meant that kids had to devote 110% to school. It is laughable. I worked and went to school and somehow managed. The point of work at a young age is that you learn the basic skills. Like show up on time.
I heard something a few years ago that something like 50% of Gen X had a job in high school - even if it was just a summer job. Now it is less than half that. Looking back it is now clear that much of this was intentional, but that doesn't make the current situation something that is a lot of fun to deal with. We had a kid recently who was hired as a project coordinator (construction industry) who if he had done well, could have been promoted to project manager within 12-24 months and would be earning 6 figures. He up and quit last week and everyone was surprised because he had appeared to be happy. He wouldn't talk to anyone but sent a long text to the CFO about how things really needed to change, he was worried about what could happen to rhe company. Dude had been there 10 days. Um, if you just decided it wasn't for you, just say it. But what I think may have happened is he was afraid to fail. Which was a lesson we all need to learn at one point, but we really can't wait for you to be 35 before you do.
interesting about the kid who wanted to run the place after 10 days on the job...i started and grew a very good small business years ago, and a young woman came in for interview, handing me a 2-page resume...the first page was her experience (none other than college grad, no summer jobs, no volunteer, nothing)...the second page was HER minimum requirements FROM MY COMPANY, which included her expected salary, paid vacays, paid sick time, paid holidays, 401k with matching %, full medical insur for her/family, paid family leave, quarterly eval for pay raise and path for advancement, etc, etc...i handed her resume back to her and wished her good luck on future employment search.
LOL, how kind of her to put her demands in writing. Good thing you wished her luck, because she is going to need it.
Saved you the trouble of hiring her and finding out about her lack of work ethic when you failed to meet her demands before proving her worth. Lol.
This is exactly what we’re dealing. I’ve taught the average kid, if they felt they didn’t know the answer, they wouldn’t even try to answer it, even if they would be given partial credit for showing their work.
I respect you for doing what you have done. Farming is the most important job in the world. I am hoping the President Trump helps to Make Farming Great Again.
He can start by eliminating all regulations that were designed to harm the family and independent farmers and ranchers. There are many other things to be done, but that is the biggest one to begin with.
Same here same area, I raise egg layers, started meat chickens, big garden. Tornado flattened my garden last year and most of my pasture meat chickens. It's hard working full time and maintaining animals/garden at home but my freezers are full and I know what went into it. Older kids are in college, and have 2 littles I try to teach and hopefully set a good example for.
Oh, I can tell, you are definitely setting a good example. 😊 You are a lucky person.
I think we all need to learn to create. It doesn't matter if you create vegetables, meat, meals, or medicines....we all need to do our own things for trade.
Exactly Brain dead! (BTW You're not really brain dead) We lost our manufacturing base over the last number of decades. Early 90's I was approaching buyers of American retailers & they told me that, even at the same price, they would rather buy from China
I don't grow food but I can definitely make herbal medicines. That's my skills for trade if it comes to it. Knowledge is also helpful.
Many people can grow food, catch fish, cut hair, sew clothes....etc. You just need to learn some skills. LOL
Well, I was brain-dead for approximately 10 minutes. Quite a few of my family members saw that hence the name.
My husbands grandmother gave me a bunch of sewing supplies when she downsized. She didn’t have much use but I snagged it all knowing it’s a valuable skill to be able to mend clothes, even just simple things. I’ve been able to mend minor things since I was younger and I’m hoping to teach my children as well. I like knowing I can at least attempt to make/mend before just throwing something away.
I still have one of these from my Grandmother.

'Sock it to me!' 😄
What is it? Ladle?
It's a darning egg for socks. They also have darning mushrooms and things. Although lightbulbs are dangerous, a plastic Easter egg or baseball bat will suffice.
With darning, you're not sewing a hole closed but actually weaving yarn to replace the missing fabric. Some say to turn the sock inside out, some don't.
Here's a video:

Hope you enjoyed the TMI you never asked for! 😄
Oh, and BTW, if you weren't aware, "Sock it to me" was Judy Carne's tag line and running gag on Laugh In. Man, I loved that show!
Oh wow. Thank you. I am so glad you sent that.
YW, anytime BD! I mend a lot of things, cheaper than buying new. I have clothes that are decades old that still look great.
Much of that is because I hang dry most things. It isn't the washer that ages clothes, it's more the dryer.
Wow. Thanks for that info. I only hang towels. The dryer takes away the absorbent. Now I know.
I wish I have learned to sew. My dad was an excellent tailor.
This as a great opportunity for farmers to get a leg up on advocating for a reduction in any restrictions/regulations that are in their way of increasing their production. I am not a farmer and don't really know any personally, but if the US regulations are anything like the UK regulations on farming, then they will need to be unleashed.
Definitely.
Like what?
What's getting a tariff that we can grow here?
Ain't growing bananas in Pennsylvania...
Please be zucchini and yellow squash... I can't give these damned things away... and if I have one more damned frittata I'm going to lose my mind!!! 😁
Some of you know exactly what I mean...
Now THAT'S comedy right there 🤣🤣🤣
Fritatta?
Why that when there’s cheese squash?
Because there's no actual cheese in cheese squash...it only resembles a cheese wheel... and that's where the likeness to cheese ends.
I used to think summer squash was unimportant, but now I love it. I make a dish which I call a skilletry. In a large skillet, saute chopped onions until clear, then add chopped peppers of all colors. When all is soft, add lots of chopped ,zucchini and yellow summer squash. Cook a bit more and add some fresh tomatoes. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and ginger. It's wonderful as is, but adding broth can turn it into wonderful soup. Kat Timpf (Gutfeld) loves soup; she'd like this.
Sounds good. Even better if you have garlic from your garden as well. I planted a bunch of bulbs last fall.
Sounds delish 😁
I go one step further with eggs and cheese, and after curds start forming, slip it in the oven to finish it. Viola...a frittata is born lol
Mrs likes sauteing zooks and adding a can of crushed tomatoes etc
No banana for you!
Not on the boat anyway...
LOL
We used to use the big ones as little baseball bats when I was a kid.
Now, RFK needs to put his foot down on the GMOs. Get rid of the Frankenfoods! I know of two young farmers who have been Organic for some time. They actually have a cultivator (kills weeds between the rows of young plants) which zap the weeds with an electric charge! That is one of the most brilliant innovations in modern farming, yet. This farm implement replaces Roundup and other herbicides. It is a dream come true, to think the poisons will be taken out of our foods! Thank you President Trump and Team!
We will starve on organic foods only.
I don't think so.That, to me, is propaganda. Designed to scare us away from Organic. Besides, it wouldn't hurt our country for most of the people to lose a few pounds.
Everyone who sees this, tag or call his office please. I did my part already.
Will do!
Amen.
Thanks.
How many 3,000 acre organic farms do you think exist?
Why does a farm have to be 3000 acres? The small farmers are just as valuable as a larger farmer. I think it is a matter of time before the Chinese owned land is transferred back to our farmers. The Chinese farms have been seriously undercutting our farmers to produce cheap pork, for example. Then there is Bill Gates properties. I can foresee a program where the confiscated land, (confiscated due to corruption and or crimes against humanity) is offered up to young farmers who want to go out on their own, but lack the money to buy the land. Perhaps a Homesteading type of offer. 80 acres each, Farm it organically for 10 years, and its yours. I don't know how it will happen. Trump knows how to make a deal that is win-win for both. But we certainly won't starve.
Eminent domain China's and Bill Gate's farmland.
Land has to be bare and no pesticides used for three years before a crop can be organic (no poisons) other details about it, I don't know.
That works for me.
Me too. How radical it would be for U.S. citizens to own U.S. land. And for Bill Gates to be arrested.
I would love to see it.
For starters...STOP GROWING CORN FOR GASOLINE!!!!!
I agree. Especially since I learned that switchgrass, which can be grown almost everywIhere in America, yields ten times as much bio gas per acre than corn
Hello! Biggest boondoggle ever.
When I was in WA, my family member grew the best corn for food.
Harvest Moon speedrun any%
LOL
I live in the farm land. Guys here just want to make enough money to keep the generational farm alive.
If they could quit using chemicals they would today. That's the biggest expense and hassle.
If they want to quit using chemical for bugs, they should look into essential oils. I know it costs a lot but that's what I have been doing for the dogs and it works.
What is the financial assistance to said farmers and reacquisition of their farms taken through land grabs. Its been terrible! They need help! All small farmers.
The GMO thing is not an option for farms polluted by possibly a neighboring gmo growing operation. Crops are contaminated by seeding blowing. Also Three years of no crops at all is required on land, before you can say growth is organic/pesticide free. I assume Bobby well aware. Can we fully subsidize new farms fully, to get the growing back on it's feet??
I would love to see it. U.S farmers really need to get back to growing.
God Bless our Local Farmers. That's where the good foods are
I purchase from Misfits Market. The produce farmers could not put in stores because they look a little blemished or crooked. Great food.
That's how real veggies look. The taste is awesome though
Oh yes. Very awesome taste.
And they will deliver!
Yessir.
Amen. I help by purchasing Misfits Market. Those too big or too small or crooked. They deliver every Wednesday for me. Yummy.

Trump is giving an overt message of providing for America! Also I’m having fun with these time stamps on qalerts.
Trump had 2 consecutive posts in a row, 13:31 (q 1331 picture of a pen) then 13:32 (q 1332 “there is no stopping it now D5”)
Sydney Powell’s response goes with Pres. T.’s 13:32 D5 and her time stamp 4:58 eastern mirrored = 8:54 “Is the stage set for a drop of HRC … We have it all… WWG1WGA”
Hillary was attempting to mock Defense Secretary Hegseth the other day and she failed.
You are so good. Thank you.
Is that a dig by Sidney against Hell Gates 🧐
Yes. I would agree.
I am surrounded by farmland. We took a trip to a forest preserve yesterday. The ride was an hour long. We passed field after field that has not been planted for years and sitting in weeds. We have some of the richest growing soil in the world here. I have an idea. Employ Americans, pay them a real wage and stop hoping for more illegals to do the farm work. This is part of their mass illegal plan. The corporate farms, want to pay 1/4 the price they should to field workers. Let's make America the largest food exporter in the world all while have great food right here.
The trouble is, how many know how to grow and willing to work? I would love to see it too; especially those who have recently been fired by DOGE.
Our government has not completely destroyed farmers and ranchers, but they have definitely decimated them. Many family farms either got bought up by big corporations, went bust, or switched to alternative uses of their land to keep afloat.
My family farm had been in my family in Georgia since before the Revolutionary War, but they quit farming traditional crops and switched to growing and harvesting tree's when the government started directly interfering with their ability to farm starting in the later 1970's, and then more so in the 90's.
Perhaps our current government will make it possible to revitalize those farms, and incentivize newer generations to start farming. We are seeing billions of dollars being invested in business and manufacturing, so it makes sense to see some invested in real food production: Farms, Ranches, Dairies, etc...
As far as organic, that is how my family farmed for generations. They did not believe in chemicals. There are plenty of ways to deal with pests without pesticides, etc...
Corporate farming doesn't care about that, nor the environment. all they care about is profit, no matter the cost. They are not real farmers.
I love our small farmers. When I was in WA, I shop in small farms all the time. The south are mostly meat farm and I am 90% vegetarian.
We used to burn fields here until the 90's. We had decent crops back then.
We have not talk about this here but fire is useful.
We should line the border wall with a row of Avocado trees.
Hey. Great idea.
When people talk about getting rid of regulations and such for farmers, in order for them to grow more, what sort of things are they talking about? Can anyone give me some examples? I'm not from a farming community, so I know very little about it.
I get a little confused when I see part of the responses call for less regulation and laws, and then I see part of the responses call for more regulations and laws.
I would be grateful to some insight on what is going on with the regulations. Thanks. ✌️
Sorry. I don't grow anything. I hardly can grow my house plants so I do not know.
Have no idea. Dear.
