Fonterra’s $3.845 billion windfall sale proceeds should be used to remediate damage they’ve done to rivers, and to help farmers shift away from intensive dairy to more plant-based regenerative organic farming — not more irrigation schemes and intensification.

When we pass Neville's farm at Lingy Hill his young cows are sometimes on the road. The toll to get further along is a nose stroke. This is 'Temptation' sniffing my hand.
I can resist everything except...

"Farmers will come in the pub on a Friday night and say: ‘The public don’t care as long as it’s cheap.’ Which is absolute crap. And the public will say: ‘You never see a farmer on his bike – [instead] driving around in Range Rovers shouting “get off my land!"‘ Which is also crap"
A very good article on modern farming in the UK.

Today, I'm dealing with other kinds of problems.
Will Harris writes some of the most important things on mid-scale farming. If you're interested in food sovereignty, sustainable and regenerative farming, and how families and communities reliant on agriculture can thrive, he's one of my go-tos.

Because I was still on the mailing list for some reason, let me remind you to NOT BUY from #BakerCreekSeeds because of their blatant support of right wing ideologies and white supremacy.
Better options: High Mowing Seeds, Sow True Seed, Heritage Seed Market, Alliance of Native Seedkeepers, Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, Fedco Seed.

"Another farmworker, Gabriel, who came out to speak, brought a backpack full of yellow envelopes containing all his tax documents over the decades.
“These are my taxes. I have been paying my taxes for 19 years, without rights,” he said, as he pulled out each envelope and threw them on the ground in front of the podium. “I’ve been doing this year, after year, after year. For a promise that I would get my citizenship, this is my testimony that I am not a criminal. We are not criminals.”"
