Met libertarian and conservative farmers and learned an incredible amount about farming and nature and science, as well as about government violations against them and against us all. The other side of the fence is nothing like what we've been taught to assume but great people with immense decency.
(3 comments) SHARE Friday, February 20, 2009 Vilsack, Monsanto, and what that ham sandwich really costs.
The bills in Congress that will industrialize farming and eliminate organic food are not identical. Each is different and each bad in its own special way and they are still coming.
(20 comments) SHARE Tuesday, February 17, 2009 Monsanto bills being rushed through Congress, set to destroy organic farming.
Everything green, healthy, anti-global warming, local, decent, environmental, community building, independent, free thing that organic farming is, we need. But the corruption of our government and politicians by Monsanto and especially the Clinton influence on behalf of Monsanto, is bringing us horror.

NY legislators have just introduced HB814 and HB875 (which is "way bigger" a farmer said), deadly bills for small farmers and what looks like the old Clinton/Monsanto plan to centralize the USDA and FDA, bringing corruption together for a nearly complete now corporate lock on our food supply.

If any of you is as disgusted with the "business as usual" behind closed doors running of the Illinois Government as farmers are, they encourage you to contact the new Governor Pat Quinn to ask "What is the problem with small Livestock Owners being involved with Agriculture?"

GMOs threaten all four major religions. For Hindus, outrage over contamination (through pig and cow fat used in British cartridges) was the trigger in 1857 for a massive rebellion against the British in India.

In the anti Gm agitation in India they constantly come across a refrain from American scientisits, the companies and their own Agri university scientists (many of whom are funded by these agri business corporations to develop and sell Gm crops) ... that Americans have been eating Gm foods for more than a decade and there is no adverse effect.....

Liberals, eager for an organic future in farming, have not seen the carefully-crafted traps that, this year, are criminalizing and dismantling most aspects of farming. And there are ones still coming

Wisconsin is forcing farmers onto "Premises ID" which appears to strip them of ownership of their farmland, and is charging those who resist.

The USDA did not suddenly become pro-black farmer (or any small farmer). "[I]nvesting in programs that alleviate hunger and suffering overseas" is Monsanto-speak. It is code for forcing genetic engineering and patents over seeds onto Africa (and India and others).
(6 comments) SHARE Tuesday, January 27, 2009 The politically correct Vilsack: Lipstick on a ...
Vilsack lays out his priorities in nice liberal politically correct language. Politically correct is fine but what we have here is code for a continuation and even ramping up of what agribusiness has been doing to destroy small, local and organic farming.
