My garden doing ok this year. Made some jalapeno poppers this weekend. Froze some snap beans, made some zucchini casserole. Things got a little weedy and snails were bad. Did use a little commercial fertilizer, but mostly composted goat manure, but no Insecticide. We drink raw milk from my brother's small dairy farm. I honestly don't understand your hostility. Yes, I am involved in conventional agriculture, but I always question the unintended consequences of what we are doing. I posted my original comments to give people an idea of why farmers do what they do and I didn't try to justify anything that was being done. Go back and read my post. Peace out bro.
You are the one that perpetrated the first hostility. Obviously, I don’t belong in the PR department, but there was nothing on the civil or socially unacceptable in my original reply that you were so miffed about.
It’s nothing personal. It’s the topic. We’re killing the soil to produce a toxic product. For the majority of Americans, that’s their daily caloric consumption. Not good strategy.
As I said, it doesn’t have to be that way. Why subsidize multi billion dollar per quarter profit corporations that are literally killing life on this rock? How can you participate in such a paradigm? Or anyone for that matter brand?
We would probably agree on 90% of things. Our diet is killing us: my father died from type 2 diabetes.
I don't work for corporate agriculture. I don't like big Ag. I work for a farmer owned coop. My 30 + year career's mission has been about helping the farmers in my community be competitive through integrated crop Management, IPM, environmental compliance, etc.
My local experience doesn't support your theory that we are killing the planet. Are we killing small producers and people with our diets,? Yes.
I appreciate that you feel very passionately about agriculture.
But assuming I am a shill for corporate agriculture or don't have a garden did piss me off. But so does that lady on Chris's podcast that Is so condescending towards farmers. It turns off us folks like me who are willing to listen to different perspectives and open to changing our views.
People that don’t want anyone to analyze their environmental impact and kill us by the hundreds of thousands such as Monsanto/Bayer, don’t deserve to feel your pain. There’s a tell when they are lying.
Their lips are moving. No one more morally bankrupt. Any fucking Farm Bureau. They have nothing to do with agriculture failure all about agrabusiness. Please understand the difference of those two very important words.
Chris is not condescending whatsoever prayer. That’s me here when I say the conventional toxic from input to product agribusiness producer is the intellectually laziest demographic in America, I’m not speculating. I mean it with every fiber of my being pee.
All while paddling everything big agribusiness. Doubtful you have one organic product of any statistical significance. Do you carry organic seeds in house or do you have to order them? Do you have organic fertilizer available at the proper time is of the year? Unless they are organic co-ops, that is the definition of big agriculture.“farmer only” means nothing. So our mini terribly made and crappy Cheese co-ops. Where the “Farmer” hasn’t been in the milk barn for decades. Sadly, our food choices are not chilling us. I don’t really give a damn about that. They’re killing everything else as well. Literally most life on the planet.
