poor farmers.
Farmers who dont grow anything, but just deal with cattle making themselves a killing while the average person struggles to buy beef in the store.
Farmers who sit on their land their whole life and never have to get out and get a real job in the real world while their property is used for nothing when they could be growing crops and hiring hundreds of people to harvest those crops by hand.
Poor Farmers who act as if they are more entitled or better than everyone else just because they own huge chunks of land.
Pity of the Farmers.
What an imbicile.
I DARE you to go work on a farm and ranch. I work Monday-Saturday, 10 hours per day to keep this place going. On Sunday, I still have to feed the calves that are in the feedlot. When it snows, we have to put hay out for the cows. Making a killing??? Do you realize how much it costs to feed animals? About $400 PER HEAD for ONE WINTER. If a cow stops breeding and is 'culled', guess what she brings at market? (Hamburger) $850. You know what a 3 year old bred replacement cow costs? $1850
How the F can you possibly say 'making a killing'? The beef market is a direct result of the policies that this country has elected. If you want cheaper beef, try voting for cheaper diesel, or fewer EPA restrictions.
"Farmers who sit on their land their whole life".... WTF MAN!!! What else do you expect???? You ever tried raising a garden? You ever take a 3 day vacation to go camping or to a family reunion and come back to find you garden infested with pests? The same can happen on a farm. We are married to the land.
I think it might be wise of you to stop and think about the repercussions of your thought process. If you think your produce is expensive now, try imagining what it would cost when you have to increase the price to pay for your concept of "growing crops and hiring hundreds of people to harvest those crops by hand." Are you 12??? Do you not understand???
There is no more farmland. Land is not being developed at the same rate that people of your caliber are breeding. We cannot continue to feed the growing population without witnessing a price increase. IT's supply and demand.
Man...I don't even want to continue this convo. You have me heated. Please, PLEASE do a bit more research before you start waving a skeletal middle finger at those that provide the food that you require to live. THink about it.
