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).

ICYMI – Why Food Is About To Get Very Expensive
Americans are witnessing frighteningly high rates of inflation—gasoline prices have increased by 10 cents a day lately, it seems. Interest rates are rising and set to continue shooting up, compounding home affordability hampered by a seismic spike in home and land prices.
Can You Picture The Global Elite Lining up for Remilk and Impossible Burgers?
Kellogg’s CEO has said, “If you’re a cash-strapped household, you can save money by eating cereal for dinner!” But most major food companies’ cereal labels say, usually below the ingredients list somewhere, that it’s “bioengineered.” So, what the hecky heck is up with that!?
Beef Prices Just Jumped Over the Moon: Here’s Why
Live cattle prices are racing for the sky, up nearly 12% in the previous two months. Most forecasts predict increasingly high beef prices in 2024 as ranchers strive to rebuild herds depleted by the double whammy of drought and the pandemic. As farmers rally across Europe and American consumers helplessly watch their grocery tabs soar, food prices are likely to continue their rise.
No Farms, No Food – The Bugs You May Already Be Eating
The new world of sustainable insects or bugs, fake food, and “re-wilding” our farmland (stay tuned for more). This is a follow-up to the article “No farms, No food” and the WHO, WEF, and globalists’ brilliant ideas to starve us into a fake bioengineered, bug-eating world while they enjoy “re-wilding” our farmland and eating meat.
No Farms No Food
Stalin called the “farmers” enemies of the state. By expropriating them, the state took over food production, and 7 million Russians starved to death.
A Tale of Two Billionaire Farmers
The media are abuzz with billionaire Mark Zuckerberg’s announcement that he is raising gourmet beef from wagyu cows on his Hawaiian “ranch,” feeding them beer and macadamia nuts. This contrasts sharply with fellow billionaire farming dabbler Bill Gates, who uses conventional chemical technologies and fancies himself the creator of a new synthetic factory meat.
An Amish Farmer’s Food Rights Battle
The January 4th raid on Amish farmer Amos Miller’s Pennsylvania establishment reflects a growing tension between government regulation of food safety and liberty-minded individualists distrusting industrial food production.
The Corn Ethanol and Water Pollution Boondoggle
Climate change activists increasingly target agriculture as a primary source of greenhouse gas emissions and pollution. Too often, this translates into condemnation of gentle cows or the pleasures of meat-eating instead of drawing attention to proper farming practices and land management. This is especially true with respect to water use and the ethanol industry. Water … Read more
Making Informed Eating Choices in a World of Toxic Options.
Christians find liberation in Christ’s teachings, emancipating them from the stringent, legalistic dietary codes of Judaism. Jesus implored followers not to fret over food and drink (Matthew 6:25; Luke 12:22), emphasizing that true defilement does not stem from what enters the body (Mark 7:15).
High Stakes Dispute Over Roundup Weed Killer
Since its development as an integral part of genetically modified organism (GMO) cropping, glyphosate – the active weed-killing ingredient in Roundup – has attracted controversy over whether it causes human disease, particularly non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
The President Promises ‘Climate-Smart’ Agriculture That Misses the Point
President Joe Biden has kicked off an “Investing in Rural America Events Series,” which he claims will boost economic growth in rural America and bolster farms. However, inspecting under the hood of the new $5 billion in Inflation Reduction Act spending reveals that “climate-smart” agriculture is geek-speak for selling farmers renewable energy technologies and little else.
John Kerry on How Feeding People is Destroying the Planet
I can almost see John Kerry, bent in half, whispering into Biden’s ear as he snoozes behind the Resolute Desk. There’s an ice cream stain on the Commander in Chief’s Lapel, he reeks of BenGay, and there’s a bottle of Geritol spilled across his blotter as if he’d tried to overdose.
Ethical Dilemmas About Killing an Animal for Climate
California and other states (and many nations) have enacted laws to regulate “ethical” treatment of animals in agriculture. This trend accompanies modern jurisprudence shielding domestic pets and criminalizing animal cruelty. Advocates for animal welfare legislation, such as PETA, invoke claims of “animal rights” — but these same groups call for boycotts on products made from … Read more
Bill Gates Eyes ‘Friendly’ Mosquitos
Bill Gates extolls the potential benefits of genetically modified mosquitos in a recent blog. The clever technology may indeed prove beneficial, but Bill Gates has his fingers (and money) stuck in so many technological marvels that risks of error surely mount.
The Extinction of Mid-Size American Farms Hurts You
The consolidation of smaller farms into sprawling industrial food-rearing facilities has been witnessed by a largely unaware or uncaring society. Americans rallied to save the bald eagle and the spotted owl but have mustered little more than a platitudinal Farm Aid concert to reverse the decimation of the nation’s food-producing backbone. However, failing to save … Read more
America’s Farmerless Farming Future?
Farmers have steadily declined as a share of the American workforce since the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, undermined by technological advances, regulatory strictures, and industry consolidation in farming.
Cow and Horse Flatulence: A Farmer’s Comparative Environmental Assessment
The problem of horse flatulence is not often discussed, yet there are important lessons to be learned from equine methane gas (via flatulence or burp), particularly to demonstrate the fraudulent claims leveled against cows as major polluters.
Missouri Freedom to Farm Act Takes on both State and Federal Regulations on Farming and Ranching
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (Jan. 24, 2023) – A bill introduced in the Missouri Senate would ban state cooperation with the enforcement of federal regulations that interfere with farming and ranching in the state.
Fake Meat-Fraud Prediction – They’ll Market it Like COVID Vaccines and Hide What’s Bad About It.
Turning corn into fuel was a bad idea, but the politicians love their cornogrpahy. That slutty little dance they do to get lobbying groups to put cash in the campaign g-strings. I think the fake meat craze is next on the list, and Gates and Bezos are ready with fat stacks of bills in hand.
