Farm Bill Passes Senate...

[themondtster]

a thousand yes's to this statement. We have overfarmed the shit out of our land, you can't grow anything on traditional farmland here without putting down layers of chemicals first. The fuck with that. People around the world need to start figuring out how to cultivate their own land and not be reliant on the U.S and our GMO's we're trying to peddle everywhere.

Mostly it makes politicians look to be humane. Other nations allow us to drill, mine, etc. whatever we want in return. Appeases the masses of poor in that country.

If you think about it we do the same here. We present barriers then enable certain behaviors. Education is the first thing to be cut, our social medias promotes illiteracy and just plain retarded behavior, and half the parents are fucktards themselves, then when kids grow up and can't read or have any worth wild skills for employment they just give them food and money and the next generation just does the same thing. And so on.

Interestingly enough, it appears as if the northern farmers of corn and soybeans are embracing the idea of reducing/eliminating the subsidies and the southern soybean and peanut growers are against it. That is something I did not know.

They might be okay if they weren't being extorted my GMO

Indeed. And of course let's not forget the ruling set forth by the SCOTUS in favor of Monsanto and GMO's. And what was Supreme Court Justice Thomas' previous job before his appointment? Why, he was a corporate attorney for...


wait for it...

Monsanto!

Doesn't take a Rocket Scientist to connect those dots, yeah?

you just have to laugh about it at this point and hope aliens with really big guns come down here and say that's enough.

Kinda like the premise upon which "The Day The Earth Stood Still" was based upon, yeah?

hopefully without the giant robot that tries to kill everything. But something tells me this universe doesn't operate like that. We lose this place oh well sucks to be you.

I wanted to legitimately strangle to death or near death the head of Exxon who I guess earlier in the week admitted that global warming was occuring but that it would simply be another "engineering problem" that humans would figure out and adapt to. That ivory tower arrogance seethes me....because while engineers are trying to figure out "the math", there will be untold misery for most of the civilized world "if" all that goes down. Now mind you he was acknowledging that these disasters could happen....he was just saying it's another engineering problem, nothing to worry about. Galling doesn't do justice.

I farm, we don't get paid to not plant acres, that happendyears ago when the demand for corn wasn't there from the grain embargo. 80% of the farm bill goes for Welfare n school lunch programs. We get about 20$ an acre so we have to report planted acres of each crop whether it be soybeans or corn. I believe that direct payment is ending now which is fine, but they will not be getting anymore info about my farm for free. Another thing most don't realize is we can receive 1.78 for our corn in the form of a cheap loan, we pay it back but the govt puts it in the general fund so its always an expense for the govt even though we pay it back with interest.

Oh and the land does not require layers of chemical to raise a crop, that is a completely incorrect statement. We spray our corn crop twice to spread the risk, but could do it once if we choose to
