Trump and Company: Better focus on Ramping up Farming in the US...Right Fucking Now!

Trump has ordered that things go back to the way they were.
Right Fucking Now.

Farmers and ranchers can plant and raise animals

A lot land isn’t arable but it’s can be grazed.

Link?

your grass clipping will mold in a trash bag in the heat. chickens or any animal can't eat moldy food it will kill them. dumb idea.

One day we won't ,growing is also training new farmers from hobby to full industrial ..

It is no joke its our survival

Trump can do allot and we can implement food storage on a scale never before envisioned , even use it instead of money to support other countries.

We would need
National financing and legislative support

A american as opposed forgiven flagged merchant marine to transport as policy to other countries instead of cash wich they leaders just loot and move to the US!
Modern Livery Ships

And a survival food stockpile ,which would be expensive and extensive but once done does not need to be done twice

We can fill up a years worth of stored food every year for ourselves on top on the three daily we already eat

10 year shelf life is reachable for storage , we spend been llions store a years worth of ten year shelf life food !
Every year

On year 6 we can release 300 million peoples worth of food as foreign aid !!

In our new fleet of modern nuclear powered commercial ships!

That's being great

How many more years do we really have left?

That's right, every farmer I know is ready to start planting as soon as the fields get dry(in about 2 weeks in my area).

He already sent them money to bail them out because of his tariffs.

Bring back the VICTORY GARDEN!

Especially the Chinese farmers in America that Trump bailed out with taxpayers money because of the suffering he caused them from his tariffs on China.

If people still buy Trump's bulshit they need their head examined.

For those who can, PLANT VEGETABLES.

A lot of our produce comes from Mexico, Central America, and South America.

The supply chain problems as well as transport will mean that veggies will be in short supply.

I have a small farm. I know:

1. It is a LOT of hand labor in the hot sun.

2. The amount of veggies you can grow on a acre is BIG, very impressive.

In my small town in Brazoria County, TX, 99% of the land is used as pasture or lawns. It can all be plowed and planted. I have offered to plow my neighbors' land as well as my own.

Because of the early warnings on GLP, I am prepared with a tractor, diesel, implements, and seeds.

What I lack is soil amendments and fertilizer. I simply did not have enough money to buy what I needed.

Will check out the government grants, etc. to see if I can get what I need for full production.

BTW, unlike a lot of areas, we have a mild winter climate. I can grow turnips, greens such as kale, beets, etc. just fine in the winter.

If you even have a patio, get some veggies started in containers. A 55 gal. drum or large trash can will grow about 40 lbs. of potatoes.

If we work together, no one will starve.

ermm.. less people = less need for food

derp!

A good friend of mine who is a RE developer and investor started buying up all the farming land and residential land he could get his hands on in 2015-2019 in Central Kentucky. A lot of old tobacco farmers wanted to simply dump the land and retire. He picked up prime land for $2k-$3k per acre!! He gave me his tip in 2014. I should have listened. I guess it's not too late.... going to give him a call today to see about the prices.

Can’t eat grass clippings
Omg

Chickens eat bugs.
Buy chicken feed and store.
Plant a garden.
Raise rabbits.

Damn right.

And, the entire Missouri River basin, from South Dakota to the confluence with the Mississippi, and from STL Missouri to the Gulf of Mexico is almost totally exposed to another year of flooding, depending on amount of rainfall.

The US Army Corps of Engineers, who are in control of the upstream dams water releases and the main river levees downstream, have done jack shit to repair the levees damaged and blown out from the floods of 2019.

The red tape and bureaucracy for these levee repairs goes on for years before they spend a dime on the levees. Yet, they still turn the dams open upstream EVERY YEAR at peak flood season.

Tens of thousands of acres of some of the most fertile farm ground in the USA is under imminent threat of not being able to be planted AGAIN in 2020.

If everyone plants their own "victory garden" we can probably shave 10-20% off the food needs.

Who needs farmers anyway let’s keep winning

Remember Trump's promises to bring back Made in America?

We also need to build low indoor vertical greenhouses like they have in Saudi Arabia.

The plus-side, the farm can be run mostly with machines.

^^^THIS^^^ While we are experiencing a regional cooling event including intermittent snow here in the Palouse wheat country of eastern Washington, the farmers have been out for several weeks. This is still pretty early in the year to get started this far North, but Washington's "shelter in place" order exempts farming activity. Farmer's are getting ready for another good crop.

Not a "victory" garden. It will be the GREATEST DEPRESSION GARDEN....I've got news for ya: I've got 5 acres already plowed up and disked ...ran a do-all with a harrow and it'll be ready to plant this week. If you don't believe that this will be the worst and longest depression in this country's history; you ain't reading enough.

Problem with this is that TPTB control the weather and can freeze and flood wherever they want, which is VERY likely to happen again this year as it did in 2019.

I totally agree OP. At work I have started to see articles creeping up warning of food shortages. When I try to warn people they just laugh or my warning just goes over their head like they didn't even hear me.

So to prepare myself I managed to order 100 pounds of beans and rice from a restaurant supply business. And I tripled my garden space and I plan on tilling a couple of rows in my side yard to grow some potatoes.

Others might think I am a retard but I seriously believe that we will have food shortages soon and I don't want to be the dumbass that is sitting at the dinner table with hungry kids without a damn thing to eat.

I defiantly make a motion to supercharge the US farmers to farm every inch of property they can farm on,

I heard dat shit got da ah-lectra-lites.

The farmers know when to plant their crops and how to care for their livestock. They havent stopped working and wont.
Farm families got you so dont worry about that !

Where are you going to get the grain or animals from after you get the land ready?

Yeah, thought so.

Hey dumbass, I have tomatoes, peppers, melons, lettuce, herbs, eggplant, squash and a ton of other shit in the ground growing right now.

Not everyone lives in the Arctic.
