Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Wow American farming...

I know every area is completely different, but with a closer proximity to urban areas and a lot of tourists/travelers passing through, a lot of farms are transitioning to a value added model. Dairies building creameries and producing/selling milk, ice cream, cheese etc. on site, truck farms with produce stands, folks raising custom beef, pork, chicken, organic egg etc.. and selling directly to the consumers.
Poultry co-op owned by the farmers competing very well against the big-ag companies. Lots of restaurants sourcing everything possible from local farms directly. People starting to really consider where the food they’re eating comes from and the impacts of those choices.
It’s good to see. People sick of being beholden to some middleman buyer/broker who’s beating them down and turning around and selling for big profits.
Food production needs to be a lot more local.
Pisses me off to look on a can or package and see “produced in (not USA)”
Edit to add: very few farms around here over 500 acres. Most a lot less. Beef operations, lots of poultry houses, crops, dairy.
No hog farming. Lot of family are farmers. 7 days a week.
Hard way to make a living but a lot of people have it in their blood. Wouldn’t trade for half the hours and twice the money doing something else.

Damn, don't know how I missed this great thread.... maybe because I thought of Wabi when I read the title? anyhow I see Flave is busier than a one legged man in a but kickin contest and winnin.....

Still waiting on pics of Slumlords garden and a John Deere lawn tractor sans mowing deck.

No need for irrigation in our general area for the crops I’ve mentioned including hay.

Not sure of exactly what you’re asking or the point you’re trying to make.

Hot house truck farming is pretty much year round.

He could use a little winning what with being a drunken retard and all. Especially after Ren50 handed him his ass in the "venus dimples" thread. Shut the mouthy little bitch right up quick he did. LMAO

Fracking does take a lot of water and seldom gives back 10% of it on the flow back depending on the reservoir. Then it has to be disposed of.

Two retired Cotten farmers from the Odessa area that I know are leasing their property and are selling some of their water when the opportunity arises.

Was told recently that Bill Gates owns 70,000 acres of farmland in Louisiana.

Edited to add:
And 48,000 acres in Arkansas. Has a total of 242,000 acres nationwide through Cascade Investments company that he controls.

Well crap.... now I have to read the venus dimples thread..... this is getting difficult, I may have to leave the campfire.... again

If you get a chance...maybe post a venus link so's I dont have to invest that much time.


Thanks.

Found it. Edit to add fake news lol. Like tootster farming.

Ignorance from Montana speaks.

What you don’t know would fill a college library.
Go suck up to your drunkard buddy.

What I don’t know would fill multiple libraries.

Go chew on some foreskins bullshidter.

More wisdom from Montana.

No fake news about it. Ren50 called it as it is and shut delusional lying clown boy down.

Lets see it then.

Look it up lazy ass. It ain't like you should be tired from farm work or anything.

No.

I won't expend the energy to go after a nothing burger.


Put up or shut up.

Of course not. If you ever expended any energy you wouldn't weigh 400 pounds.

I too went and found that thread..... yep fake news.... but they think they are onto something, pretty funny actually

Well...we will have to take your word for it.....just like that prestigious award you won.
