STATES and the federal government have represented the interests of Big Agriculture for many years and have engaged in a longstanding war against the small farmer, which appears to be intensifying.

I watched the video on Oregon farm restrictions. I have been following the farm restrictions in Europe, notably in the Netherlands, but also in Germany, and I believe Poland. It seems the same agenda is coming to America.

I also note the many fires to food processing plants in this country since Covid. Here is a link listing many of them.

I also have thought about Agenda 2030, and looked at history. It seems that the starvation playbook has been bought out again. One only has to look to the Holomodour as a more recent example.

I hope that I am wrong, but I think TPTB are showing us very clearly that they intend to control our food supply. I remember learning in grade school that communism entailed the government controlling the means of production. It’s too bad people are slow in waking up to what is happening right before them.

No fresh milk from your two cows, not for you nor your grateful, paying neighbors. That is the reality of our new world order.

Amazing how we got here.

This war on small farms has been going on for decades, they are simply ramping up. A good book on this is Wendell Berry’s “The Unsettling of America”. The soviets simply stole farms and collectivized them. In the US, taxation, regulation and real estate churning has been used to do the job. Back in the 1970’s, Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz’s mantra was “Get big or get out”, which has always been the gov’t pay to play stance.

Interestingly, the gov’t has no issue with deer, rabbit, bear or coon manure and turkey or bird droppings, which are everywhere. Their view that only farm animals are affecting the ground water is ludicrous, especially these tiny farm operations. Requiring these expensive and unnecessary facilities and equipment are simply economic barriers to entry, regulations to eliminate competition for bigger producers.

The truth is, the large CAFO operations and factory farms are the greater polluters, users of water, and environmental hazards.

That’s a great point about manure from non-farm animals. I hadn’t thought of that.
