Interesting and informative. I did not know this about the EU farmers.
The worst days of my year are when the neighbors crop dust their fields. It’s deafening.
I learned long ago, things are not what they seem.
So True!
Salatin 2024
I run an allotment like organic garden with a retired tulip bulb farmer and our ditches/waterways are filled with toxic chemicals
All those big tractors can’t get into the soaked fields without getting stuck to their axles
Interesting. So much in Europe is subsidized.
Government does so well with other people's money!
ThankQ
Donations in Europe is very wide topic. I can tell about this in Poland, i live here, many land because of donations is owned by people which don't work on this land, people like me, i own cattle hay or something else on this fields. Donations mostly go to the owner. It's very bad in my opinion. A lot of land is just mowing instead grazing by catlle because of money. It's hard to buy or rent land in good prices because people keep this for steady money.
Eye opening!
Dutchie here. Joel is right and farmers protests also Reagan-era right wing anti governement-movement
I'm from Wales we've had a few protests, most protesters were from small to medium-sized 'conventional' farms.
Their upset about unruly government control and regulations, but are willing to bend the knee for subsidy under less changes.
They're just angly but still fairly peaceful.
I'm not against the modern practices generally used in my locality, and would not endorse regulation. I'd like to limit and reduce regulation and leave farmers to experiment.
It is my personal opinion, that the way Joel farms (and many farms did 100 years ago) is generally more sustainable, and that more similar practices are and will revive with freedom and time.
They want to import all the food for Europe from South America. The labor and land is cheap for the global food and agricultural industry.
I don’t want to tell anyone how to farm. I just don’t want to pay for their mistakes. That actually makes me a hypocrite, because the public and private funding I get for conservation is considerable. We don’t need it, I just view it as a way to take some of my money back.
EDIT: The biggest defender of their enslavers are farmers. It never ceases to amaze me. I ponder on it daily.
But we don’t want the government in farming. They are the ones who created this mess. The more they screw up, the more power they get, because it takes more power to fix it. But they don’t fix it, they just make bigger mistakes.
JUST GET OUT OF THE WAY! I’m a big farmer, with clusters in 4 counties. I can accept the regulation for me, because what I can screw up can hurt a lot of people. But I want to bring in small farmers as partners and collaborators and utilize a big on small/small on big system. I want to fill the hulls of ships and 100-200 car trains full of grain, and let the rest of the full circle / ecology of farming needed to a complete system without externally sourced fertility, flourish and thrive with very little oversight.
I’d rather be a king maker than rule over an empire, because that model quite frankly makes more money for ME!
You got guns, rest of us got brains. Figures...
As much as I like Salatin and I do. I think he's off on this one.
Your figures are skewed.
