Just left the grocery store where they are talking about the price of milk going up alonge with meat and bacon doom!

I undrstand where you are comming from but remember, about 80 percent of the last farm bill was dedicated to nutrition programs and have nothing to do with agriculture.

Crop insurance is another issue.

but all the subsidies where still there, just shows how big the BILL really is/was. Get rid of goberment meddling, get rid of the worst problems

we also went thru a long period(actually very short relatively speaking) where people left the land to work for someone else to acquire all the material things the industrial, then technological revolution brought us. We will have to go back to at least smaller family farms, more of them, and more people providing some for themselves, just like humanity has done for about 99.999% of its existance. WE definitely benefited from mass farming as in the ability to produce mass amounts of food for much less labor, and provide time for creative endeavors that brought us the "things" we love, but more labor is going to have to go back into farming again to balance things out. AND we need to go into space. If humans don't have frontiers to conquer, we go more batshit crazy than normal.

and I have put my money where my mouth is, I recently acquired a 40 acre farm and will be working it for a living

exactly.

I noticed that as well with vegans and even vegetarians. Gwyneth Paltrow was a vegan and then got brittle bone disease. She is not vegan anymore and even posts meat recipes on her former all vegan website. She had money and the know how to do the vegan lifestyle 'right'. But it didn't work and really hurt her. The woman finally got smart and started eating normally again.

You sound like you are in a religious cult.

Yup. My mom is in her 80's and has been drinking milk her whole life. Her doctor says she has very strong bones. She is also a meat eater. The woman can do circles around me.LOL

True. People will say that about cows as well. That they are big and only eat grass. I had cows and yes they grazed but there were also a lot of huge beetles and tons of ants in the pasture which they ate as well. So they were getting animal protein albeit from bugs which have a very high amount of protein in them. All grazing animals somehow ingest other living creatures. Gorillas are the same way. They ingest tons of insects. They love termites.

Just be sure that you have TOP-NOTCH fences!! We raised pigs for a few years, and they could find ANY weakness in any of the fencing. They can't jump, but they can tunnel and root underneath. And YOU will try to find the "escape" spot and won't be able to, but once you've rounded up your escaped binkers they will once again find the spot almost instantly!

If you have enough room to raise several, you might be able to do what we did. We found 5 friends who wanted their own pork, plus we got an extra wiener pig for us. I kept all of the feed receipts, and divided it 5 ways (i.e., our pig was the payment for feeding and taking care of all of the other pigs). Of course They'd re-imburse us for the mobile butcher, (and we'd get a discount for having multiple pigs) who then would take the meat to the processor. Within a couple of weeks they would have bacon, sausage, roasts, chops, etc. all wrapped, marked and frozen. It actually worked out to be cheaper than if they'd bought the same meat at the store. And, in my opinion, they were raised far more healthily and humanely than commercial pork.

Whatever you're smoking, I WANT SOME!!!

America will eventually reap every whit of what it has sewn in the earth. Most people are ignorant of the genocide and they think that America fights for justice and freedom. That is not the case.

The chickens really are come home to roost. But unfortunately for you they will be priced beyond your reach.

The spike is here…wish I would have been wrong.
