It's important to remember the practices in this country in the 'Meat Packing Industry' beginning the creation of the regulations in 1906 to begin with.
Here, we're as you and your family even to this day in our practices inclusive of Venison or any type of game harvested. Once upon a time, we all knew how to harvest meat and most of us knew the value of sanitary conditions and preservation.
Do believe 'LOBBYING' in the D.C. Swamp must be outlawed just as the ability of 'Day Trading' in the Markets must be outlawed. Ag is definitely a huge LOBBYING concern for the Foreign Companies and for those as Gates with the U.N/WEF/City of London's Central Bankers seeking CONTROL of all Food Supplies available to 'the people' of the world. Control of all food is probably the oldest of tactics breeding ABSOLUTE CONTROL of the slaves they camouflaged behind definitions as 'The Vulgars/Peasants/Serfs'.
To magnify the threat your essay is addressing towards recognition of this threat upon the entire world; Vanguard, Blackrock, State Street have purchased over 30% of the Farmland and resources beneath the surface of Earth in the Breadbasket of Ukraine in the last 4 years since the Totalitarian War in Ukraine was ordered to begin following the order for U.S. to leave Afghanistan. War Hawk, Lindsey Graham expounds upon War necessary for the THEFT OF UKRAINE LAND TO BE WORTH $11 TRILLION.
'We will own nothing and will be happy,' or so the threat is stated by the enemy International Crime Syndicate. God knows, the enemies continue to pursue this stated PLAN of a Global Slave Economy. Don't know if it's possible to get anybody into the Oval Office loyal to 'THE PEOPLE' and the U.S., itself as well as 'the people'.
Thanks to people as you trying so hard to educate the masses...If only more were willing to learn.
Thank you BC3. I've covered many of the shenanigans in Ukraine over the past few years, including some of Hunter Biden's role and Vanguards role. It might be time to look into that some more.
There's simply no way a politician who has to rely on corporate and other big money donations to win elections will EVER make meaningful positive changes to the big ag/ food industry. They and the Pharma and toxic chemical industries wouldn't permit it. The organic food "industry" doesn't have big money behind it and never will, because there's only profit for farmers, consumers and the planet in NOT spraying chemicals on food or spreading them on the ground as fertilizer.
It's consumers who will have to make the change happen by shopping at farmer's markets and otherwise buying direct from organic farmers, voting with their wallets. And that requires both education and economic prosperity. Good food costs more than junk food. And most people still believe the chemicals in their food must be safe or the government wouldn't allow them.
As I have said all along, since November 6, “The War is Not Over”, with Trump being elected. The enormous change that needs to happen in ALL facets of our lives as it relates to the 3 and 4 Letter Agencies (both the spies and the bureaucrats) of the Government, will take a commitment, that Trump is now showing that he does not have. It is becoming increasingly clear over the past few weeks that he’s committed to ‘crony capitalism’, /business as usual”, with the people he has nominated to head these various ‘agencies’. There have been some decent picks for some positions, but key appointments like Brooke Rollins (never even heard of her, had to look her up) as the head of the USDA, are quite disappointing.
Trump whatever else he may be, is a tool of the globalist cabal. This weed is so deeply rooted in our society that it will take an earthquake to pull it out. The wealth transfer will continue and although there may be some token deportations to pacify the base, the large influx of cheap labour in the last few years will continue to drive inflation upwards due to the billions that have been printed to house and feed them.
I have no confidence that much of significance will change.
“To change something don’t try to change the existing reality. Instead, create a new reality that makes the old one obsolete.”
Great quote.
Now, let's start behaving like we understand the principle.
>He was legally able to sell that meat to anyone - a neighbor, a local restaurant, the local grocery store.<
Would you like to do the same?
Take a page out of them raw milk industry:
Sell shares of the animal pre-slaughter.
Completely eliminates the need to sell meat.
When people as informed as intelligent as you stop looking to the government to ALLOW us to do what we want to- what is right and good and just- and start taking actions and inventing systems that render the existing one irrelevant, then we will truly see progress in our time.
Other than to find a way to work around it, the government shouldn't even enter into the conversation.
And for those of you who don't or can't think this way, find someone who does.
The time for rhetoric is over.
It's time to take intelligent, focused, vigorous action.
I've done that. I no longer do it. It's really difficult to pull off in markets like mine. The amount of time I had to spend pre-selling was out of the question. If one lives near a large, well heeled, well informed market, one can pull that off. That's not the case where I and many others live. Besides, even that isn't entirely legal in some jurisdictions. At this point I'd prefer to have the freedom to do what I want to do rather than have to jump through extra hoops just to side step the system
YES - I do not favor incentives OR subsidies. I want no government involvement whatsoever. I have found local meat sources, and if I can do it anyone can.
I would prefer no government involvement as well. But as I've explained to several others here, we cant just turn the tap off overnight or chaos and starvation would ensue. So let's take the incentives that currently go to big corporations and give them to local, small farmers to enable them to provide us with stable, local, clean, food. Once that transition has occurred, then we can begin to wean everyone off of gubberment help without destroying the country.
Mrs. Rollins, acknowledge receipt of this write-up and say yes, else we will push like nobody's business to have your name removed from consideration. Thank you for your understanding.
Excellent information and writing! This is the kind of thing that needs to be in front of the entire (reading) population. I spent almost my entire life as a city boy (1957 - 2023) and now live out in a farming community. I am so happy now as I realize what I had been missing my whole life! These farming communities are amazing and the people in them, with their quirky personalities and attire, are the most accomplished people I have ever interacted with. They are strong, healthy and very aware of what is going on. They just don't beak off about things like city people do - they are too busy getting things done and taking care of themselves and their families. If I had the ability to put the levers of power in the hands of the folks I have met in the last 16 months I would do so without hesitation. They have an innate intelligence and a level of real world experience that puts 99% of the city folk and corporate people to shame. I hope that you have the ability to increase your audience and that more people start waking up to the reality that a big part of why the US and the western world achieved what they did is because of the down to earth intelligence and non-stop hard work of the people who live out in the country that are, without much recognition, keeping our whole damn society afloat! We need to educate more people to this reality and get these people in a position whereby their knowledge, experience and work ethic are considered and adopted by our political leaders.
Thank you for the kind words about us country folk Foxton. I'd like to see this stack get more recognition but, because a lot of city folk don't like what I write about, I've been censored across many platforms.
Kyle, I think you are overly pessimistic. Trump has proven himself time and time again to be a disruptionist of the most severe kind. I doubt he has any intent of letting things go on with by farma as they are today. It may only be that he must time things carefully, picking and choosing what to do first. Our new friend, Rollins, may only be a seat saver or a pretty face while serious work happens in the shadows. I do not see Trump doing anything but getting under the skin of the current system which is crippling the country, and ripping it to shreds. We will see I suppose? I have high hopes.
You did not mention ending the substation of staple crops (wheat soy and corn) … subsidies create false markets which can support any level of yield which drives farmers into single crop farming and nefarious methods of maximizing yields. They have single handedly brought to market ridiculous “ingredients” like corn syrup. GMO corn is used to destroy the efficiency of gasoline and to feed lot livestock. There is so much damned corn (all once single variety) we don’t know what the hell to do with it … it is bizarro world for sure. Soy is almost as bad and wheat is not far behind. Why do you not include this in your discussion? Subsidies are the legislative key upon which ill farming and food production practives hinge. Much like liability protection created the monstrous vaccine industry that threatens our children today. Undo these and many pieces fall into place.
I'd like to see all subsidies go away, but we cant just wave a wand and make that happen... starvation would ensue. I'd like to see incentives used to get us transitioned to something inherently sustainable, then begin to drop the subsidies.
Centralized Control is the joy of those who like to run things. It never works well. Those who rise high in the power structures get there by pushing others off the ladder to success. They rise but they know little, and think they know it all. They took a lot of money from people along the way, and thus they are beholden to their pay masters. Meanwhile, those of us at the bottom know what works, and what doesn't. We have the practical experience and motivation and the willingness to see how we can improve things. But do those at the top want to listen or take our advice? We can only hope. Meanwhile, we do what works as long as we can. We can hope for heroes to come and save us, but the truth is that we have to be our own heroes and share the knowledge with our friends and families and neighbors as best we can.
I don't think the honeymoon with Trump will last too long. Too much money is invested in doing things the way they have always been done.
I find it very odd that Salatin NEVER talks about weather mod/geoengineering. He even went so far, in an interview with RFK Jr, to say at the very end, it’s not like man can control the weather. Very suspicious. Any farmer, especially of his caliber, knows very well weather mod has been going on for decades, as you well know and report, which I so appreciate. I don’t think there was ever any real intention of changing much at that level, and these guys know it.
Sure. Definitely worth a watch. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been following Salatin for years and find him to be mostly decent and inspiring. But it’s way past time for everyone to be talking about this, imo. Thank you for your work!
He seemed to have some questions about weather, but he quickly passed over that. Seemed like he didn't want to get into it with RFK. He is right that droughts have been a reality for farmers since day one.
Yes, in the drier parts of the world. Here in Arizona the Hohokhum people diverted water from the Santa Cruz and other rivers to irrigate cotton, corn, beans and squash as long as 5,000 years ago. But even they succumbed to drought when those rivers dried up a few times. Of course irrigation was also done along the Nile, the Tigris, the Euphrates and the Indus rivers. Those are much, much bigger rivers, also in dry climates.
Most of the rest of the world depended on and still depends on rain. Harvesting wild food and good food storage to carry them through drought were also important.
Today, if one is grazing cattle on native grasslands or pigs in a native forest and the rains stop, so do the those livestock. But the US is a big country. Drought typically doesn't affect the entire country. The one discussed by Salatin and RFK was just in the south.
When I grew up in Kansas, 100% of the wheat crop depended on rain. No rain meant little to no wheat. Again, storage in the form of massive granaries keeps us in wheat during lean times.
I love what Casey and Natosha did and we need to go to this kind of model. I love the idea that farmers can certify other farms they know of that produce good products. If they recommend bad producers, that will reflect on their reputation so they are not likely to. Why don't we just do this anyway, and go on a parallel track to the USDA and the government bs? We could do it through private member associations. Could Casey and Natosha start trainings for this, not to take all their time away but like that other great idea, get apprentices to learn the trade and process and have some that teach it. We do not have to wait for Trump or anyone else. Be prepared, he IS going to let us down because politicians are not what we think they are, not what they pretend to be for. Waiting for Trump and his cabinet to move on things will waste a lot of the time we could be spending building this parallel track.
Although I don't agree with the slaughtering of animals per se, being that I've been a vegetarian for most of my life, which is 62 years, I do agree with the sentiment. I'm scratching my head trying to figure out why everyone is waiting for politicians to change the laws so we can have the freedom to do these things.
As I've explained to several others here, the work arounds required to side step the system take a lot of time and effort. I don't know any farmers that have the time to deal with that. And none of us can afford to go to jail. We just want to be free to do what we've been doing for the past 5 thousand years.
Sorry, that didn't come off the way I meant. I wasn't even thinking in terms of you as a farmer side-stepping the system, I was thinking more of small everyday things that everyone can do. I think you have your hands full with farming AND this substack.
Thank you for your dedication to the Art of Farming... A Real job with Real significance for society.. I've been a health nut since high school. Organic has held my fascination to this very day at 75.. My ancestors for almost 200 years were ranchers and farmers in Texas... My personal hero was uncle Bill, a West Texas rancher who held a full-time job in the oil industry while doing most of the chores on 400 acres with typically 300+ cattle.. Don't know how he did it.. don't know how you do it.. But thank God you do...
Bill passed away at 93, a year ago.. He was the last.. Dawn to Dusk - Real 12 hour workdays, six many times seven days a week...
Somehow, our educational system must embrace a much deeper understanding of the importance of organic food and farming... This initial process must be catalyzed and then reinforced at the dinner table every day. Parents have to start the ball rolling, by teaching the child, the importance of what they are consuming, and how it affects the human body.. Ignite the childs desire to understand.. Then they'll be on the auto pilot.. for organic food...
We Can turn this highly polluted tide... We have to support your recommended legislation... I pray Mrs Rollins will surprise us.. if she doesn't[low percentage shot], we hold her feet to the fire..
In a world supposedly free to speak and share truth without fear, there does not seem to be free access or distribution, thanks to technology that can soon erase our existence. Ghosting our words, videos, and existence will be possible soon. Like many others, this platform is ostensibly free speech-based but enabled through technological means to limit who gets posts, even if subscribed, as well as getting slant of articles then limiting their exposure without the writers knowing their posts never reach intended subs. The illusion of less activity due to subscribership rather than on marketing conservative views versus liberal views depending on the censor in charge is not free speech but tricky paths to keeping writers off the public square, hidden in alcoves unseen or heard.
It's uncanny that the solution to all our problems is free speech. It is more powerful than violence. We have to slam anyone or any group, business, corporation, publication, etc, that censors. That will change the world overnight because it is a mindset. When we have information, it arms us for actions we can choose. Whereas censorship hides information because those who do it want control. Control is disemboweled in a terrain of free speech.
A key to promoting free speech is the book "The Wisdom of Crowds" by James Surowiecki. The most important book of our time (not counting), this book shows that large numbers of people will make better decisions than small groups, even if the small groups contain geniuses. But that is only true if information circulates freely. If there is censorship, then the large group is really just a small group with microphones. Like MSM.
In spite of repeated promises not to do so, Biden has just given his son Hunter a full pardon.
Lest we forget, Trump pardoned the father of his son in law Jared, Charles Kushner.
What a wicked web is woven in DC.
Agreement is simple.
It's important to remember the practices in this country in the 'Meat Packing Industry' beginning the creation of the regulations in 1906 to begin with.
Here, we're as you and your family even to this day in our practices inclusive of Venison or any type of game harvested. Once upon a time, we all knew how to harvest meat and most of us knew the value of sanitary conditions and preservation.

I’m with you. And I didn’t vote for Trump..in ‘16, ‘20, or ‘24. I chose to not affiliate myself with ANY political party. For over 15 years now.
The fastest growing political party in the US is the Neither party.
Which doesn't support either party.

Remember the story Trump used to tell his audience about the lady who nursed a snake 🐍 back to health, only to be bit by it?
He told you what he was all along.
A Jesuit Educated Zionist Jew
The sad thing is, most of you have no idea what that even means, nor do you really care.
You don’t know who your enemy is.
Wow! Trump reveals more deep state about himself with every appointment. Not surprised at all.

I find it very odd that Salatin NEVER talks about weather mod/geoengineering. He even went so far, in an interview with RFK Jr, to say at the very end, it’s not like man can control the weather. Very suspicious. Any farmer, especially of his caliber, knows very well weather mod has been going on for decades, as you well know and report, which I so appreciate. I don’t think there was ever any real intention of changing much at that level, and these guys know it.
Thank you Mishelle.
Do you have a link to that interview? I'd like to watch it.
Sure. Definitely worth a watch. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been following Salatin for years and find him to be mostly decent and inspiring. But it’s way past time for everyone to be talking about this, imo. Thank you for your work!
https://youtu.be/edgQH7MRuGg?si=ALfhcy5r3vfDfPnP
Just watched it. Thank you.
He seemed to have some questions about weather, but he quickly passed over that. Seemed like he didn't want to get into it with RFK. He is right that droughts have been a reality for farmers since day one.
Hasn’t reliable irrigation been a cornerstone of civilization?
Yes, in the drier parts of the world. Here in Arizona the Hohokhum people diverted water from the Santa Cruz and other rivers to irrigate cotton, corn, beans and squash as long as 5,000 years ago. But even they succumbed to drought when those rivers dried up a few times. Of course irrigation was also done along the Nile, the Tigris, the Euphrates and the Indus rivers. Those are much, much bigger rivers, also in dry climates.

I love what Casey and Natosha did and we need to go to this kind of model. I love the idea that farmers can certify other farms they know of that produce good products. If they recommend bad producers, that will reflect on their reputation so they are not likely to. Why don't we just do this anyway, and go on a parallel track to the USDA and the government bs? We could do it through private member associations. Could Casey and Natosha start trainings for this, not to take all their time away but like that other great idea, get apprentices to learn the trade and process and have some that teach it.

Waiting for Trump and his cabinet to move on things will waste a lot of the time we could be spending building this parallel track.
Unfortunately, if Casey and Natosha don't play by the rules, the agency that gave them their license will call in law enforcement to shut them down.

In a world supposedly free to speak and share truth without fear, there does not seem to be free access or distribution, thanks to technology that can soon erase our existence. Ghosting our words, videos, and existence will be possible soon. Like many others, this platform is ostensibly free speech-based but enabled through technological means to limit who gets posts, even if subscribed, as well as getting slant of articles then limiting their exposure without the writers knowing their posts never reach intended subs. The illusion of less activity due to subscribership rather than on marketing conservative views versus liberal views depending on the censor in charge is not free speech but tricky paths to keeping writers off the public square, hidden in alcoves unseen or heard.
It's uncanny that the solution to all our problems is free speech. It is more powerful than violence. We have to slam anyone or any group, business, corporation, publication, etc, that censors. That will change the world overnight because it is a mindset. When we have information, it arms us for actions we can choose. Whereas censorship hides information because those who do it want control. Control is disemboweled in a terrain of free speech.
A key to promoting free speech is the book "The Wisdom of Crowds" by James Surowiecki. The most important book of our time (not counting), this book shows that large numbers of people will make better decisions than small groups, even if the small groups contain geniuses. But that is only true if information circulates freely. If there is censorship, then the large group is really just a small group with microphones. Like MSM.
not counting classics like the Bible
There has been no time in history when the people censoring free speech were the good guys.
