Amy Fewell has become an inspiring resource for existing or wannabe homesteaders around the world. Like me, Amy wasn’t raised homesteading but gravitated toward it for health and well-being.

Who Will Head Trump’s Department of Agriculture?

by John Klar

Frenzied speculations about Donald Trump’s various Cabinet appointees have extended to the next head of the USDA, to replace the controversial Tom Vilsack, AKA “Mr. Monsanto.”  At least fifteen potential nominees are currently the subject of appointee chatter in blogs and headlines, but one stands out as a peculiar outsider-in-chief: Kentucky congressman Thomas Massie. Congressman Massie … Read more

Vermont’s Public Health Busybodies Have Been Busy

by Steve MacDonald

The Vermont Department of Health is still promoting the CDC’s childhood vaccination schedule, suggesting a COVID-19 shot for children as early as six months.

When Guano was Gold

by John Klar

Improvements in agriculture have economically and culturally nurtured some of the greatest leaps in human advancement: many of those have related to crop fertilizers, which humanity has long known improve crop yields by nurturing soils. It is vitally important to understand the central role of soil health in human well-being, for both the soil and … Read more

Do Cows or Cars Hurt the Planet More?

by John Klar

The slander of cows for their existential threat to humanity has focused on methane emissions, which allegedly warm the planet unsustainably. This dubious claim is premised on the sketchy logic that methane production negates any beneficial bovine ecological impacts (especially of urine and manure) and ignores the effects on the environment and food system if … Read more

Shrinking Farmland Threatens Food Security

by John Klar

Around the world, farmland is being converted to residential and industrial uses as farms consolidate, urban populations strain land resources, and narrow profit margins discourage would-be farmers. This shrinkage of agricultural acreage has been underway in America and Western Europe for a century. Climate change policies under the Biden administration have flushed renewable manufacturing industries … Read more

The Government is Counting Solar Arrays as Agricultural Land

by John Klar

Concerned that rapid development threatened critical agricultural resources, Indiana’s Legislature in 2023 commissioned a study to determine the status of the state’s farmland.  Noting that most agricultural land loss neighbored cities and suburban areas, the study concluded that Indiana lost 345,682 acres of farmland between 2010 and 2022.

Biden’s “Social Justice” Undermines Food Supplies

by John Klar

A recent report by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) concludes that Tyson Foods is responsible for dumping billions of gallons of contaminated water into American waterways.

The World Bank’s Recipe for Globalist Food Control

by John Klar

A recent report produced by the World Bank leaves no doubt that what has unfolded against farmers in Holland, Belgium, and France is a precursor to globalist plans of food control and all food production (and diet choices) for humanity in the name of rescuing the planet from cows and destructive agriculture.

Another US State Has Banned Lab Grown ‘Meat’

by Steve MacDonald

Cloned meat, one of several names I’ve bandied about for Lab-grown meat (mystery meat is another), is not better for the environment, it is not better for people, and it is not the future of beef in America if actual Americans have anything to say.

Night Cap: White Farmers Matter – USDA Rules Violate the Equal Protection Clause

by John Klar

The Biden administration’s assault on farmers now includes an openly racist and sexist dimension: allocating $25 billion in federal disaster relief funds to stricken farmers based solely on race and gender. The USDA has dispensed funds using this social justice criterion, employing skin color and gender preference above merit or need in yet another regulatory … Read more

Experts Say Bird Flu ”Jumps” To Animals The Elites Don’t Want Us to Eat …

by John Klar

Headlines proclaiming that bird flu in cows has impacted the milk supply—and that cows are then spreading the disease to laying hens—are disturbing contributions to the cacophony of looming doomsday threats to humanity. Americans already spooked by the government takeover of speech, travel, assembly, and bodily autonomy during the COVID-19 pandemic are understandably unnerved by … Read more

Americans awakening to the Orwellian Rule of Joe Biden and his crew of thieves have noticed that the perpetual lying is designed to inculcate pliancy through fear.  When the COVID-19 hysteria began to wane, Big Brother Biden switched gears to the Ukraine crisis.

Climate Farming Dreams are a Nightmare for Diners

by John Klar

A recent study of Burmese pythons concludes that snake meat is more efficient to produce than traditional livestock, making it a viable protein alternative to cows or pigs. Given the primeval human aversion to snakes, this menu item may be a harder sell even than crickets or faux-meat nuggets. However, the omissions and biases inherent … Read more

Climate Fear, Rewilding, the Green New Deal, and Other Absurdities

by John Klar

One of the most prescient, intelligent, passionate voices defending rural lands and rural agriculture has been lifelong Democrat Wendell Berry (though Wendell will tell you that he has no allegiance to any one party). The current Democratic Party appears to have no use for the considered wisdom of this Kentucky farmer, just as it has abandoned Martin Luther King, Jr., Thomas Jefferson, and the Kennedy legacy.

New SEC Climate Rules Are Burdensome – But Are They Constitutional?

by John Klar

Controversial new SEC Rules compel corporations to report the climate impact of each step of the supply chain. It’s complex, convoluted, and confusing at best – but is it constitutional?

The Multicultural Destruction of Vermont

by John Klar

A person from New York recently purchased the 54-acre property next door to the house I rent in Brookfield, Vermont. I contacted him and told him I’d keep an eye on the place and ask him whether I could pasture my sheep and/or cows on the fields that he now owns (originally part of the farm we rent).
