For the farmers that are turning their crops under.. I dont understand.. the farmer already spent the money on the crops all the lime and fertilizer and seed.. the money was spent so now is the wrong time to turn it under.. you do that at the beginning of the season when you dont have anything invested in it

.................. those stunts..................... Strong relationships with leaders outside and inside a republic is paramount when we need a unified front. Keep in mind it's not the little guys. We simply suffer the burden.

Newer coverage options combine yield protection and price protection to guard farmers against potential loss in revenue, whether due to low yields or changes in market price.

Crop insurance is your friend... This I understand but you need to get it in the beginning of the season.. the pics I seen were them tuning under a existing crop which to me is a waste.. but the little bit of farming do doent matter in relationship... I will have to get my stuff in in about 1 month

Anyone wanting to head off potential shortages later this spring and summer may consider starting the little, or big plots now. Ours may be a little larger than ordinary plot that is 45 x 65 with high yeild crops to help family and friends. Save small food containers (yogurt, sour cream, etc) to get seeds started.Think high quality, high yield. zucchini, yellow squash, scallop squash one plant each should yield enough for a family of 4. A cherry or other indeterminate tomato (vs a determinate) will produce tomatoes all season (determinate tends to ripen all at once at end of season, for canning). Peas now, beans later, do a little research and don't over-do it.

People do not eat as much when they are not working, do not need the energy. The bottom 50% are out of money, so less food. Manufacture for food on the the commercial side is way down, dried eggs and milk. I had to read that twice, just to convince myself you really posted that. What part? You don't work you don't need as much food part? You don't work=less money= less food? Unless you are welfare trash you have to work, I am talking about the working middle class.

Born on the farm , razed on the farm .. Things are not like they were at one time .Now, most of it is corporate farming . Sure, there is still some family farms but, they work incredible large plots of land , The equipment is beyond large , the combine heads which legally are told to take off to transport from place to place, rarely do .. 25-30 feet wide, take the entire road The tractors are gigantic and ruin roads, bridges .. and, they pay ZERO road use tax . .. it is nothing to see 2-3 million dollars of equipment working a 100 acre field around here We have corporate owned dairy's about 5 miles from me -- 16,000 head being milked 24/7/365 , the amount of hog confinements and all the waste they produce is unbelievable . They all get huge government subsidies .. local farmer , has received near 4 million in the last 15 years .. He spends all of that , on tractor pulls .. has several beautiful tractors .. I'd guess his building and tractors trucks to haul them would be near 2 million Tough times indeed .. Don't believe what the media wants to show you .. Dumping milk, threatening to kill livestock , etc .. old ploys been here for years snipet from 1983 https://www.csmonitor.com/1983/0121/012160.html' 'You kill hogs and dump milk and you get the spotlight,'' says NFO president DeVon Woodland, a cattle rancher from Blackfoot, Idaho.

Myself I have only reduced my intake by about 5% to a max of 10% only because I want to loose some weight.. I still do most of what I did all along.. tonight the wife and I are ordering a pizza which we rarely do.. we tend to eat at home 95% of the time

i don't know the wiring specifics of your riding mower. my POS 17hp craftsman has the safety seat switch. it was having problems with it that's why i got it really cheap. i just connected both wires going to the switch bypassing the switch entirely. mower will stay running even when i am not sitting in the seat. i have no problems with that. been like that for 10 years now.
perception is 90% of reality
