Agriculture pricing

[Farmer Kitty]

Unfortunately to many people are removed from their agriculture roots. At one time just about everyone was either a farmer or connected to the farmer somehow (blacksmiths, horse shoer, etc.). Now they don't even realize that the food on those shelves has to come from somewhere.

your right about that.

well the way i see it and again my 2 cents only. alot of people are going to get hurt before they realize that if they just stop and smell the dirt instead of the rock. dirt has more to offer then the concrete rock that this world has to come too!!Inverness use to be a small towm with 2 roads one to come in and one out. well we are up to 4 or 3 going in and out. all the nice trees and small shop are gone, and all the new concrete ones are closing down making this place look like a ghost town.

thats most of the problem.the city people are wanting out of the city.so the developers buy land in the country as fast as they can to build new subs on.those doing away with pasture an farmland.an 1 day people will starve because of what has been done.

Yesterday was a perfect example of how much this area has grown up. I called the closest dairy looking for colostrum, he didn't have any, and could only come up with one other dairy in the area to check!

2 cents here, well if they want out of the city, then they should leave country alone. you can't have both. what are they going to do build a cow now. i've been home for 2 weeks now. it so slow at the shop that i have nothing to do there. so i'm at home doing what i can. the grass is dead so i feed the cows hay 3 times a day. and if it wasn't for the farmer who grew that and cut it , the cows would have to eat more grains, and then again it the farmers the grow that too.and harvest that. the only thing i haverst was the oranges off our tree that we plant and grew so they get oranges for a filler. and what the winter killed in the gardern. the other i put up in freezer and 2 batches of orange jam from that tree too. so they better stop and smell that dirt. it might start to taste better then the skyraise that they think should be built in the middle of that pasture!!!!!

It's going to take thousands of desperate hungry people before they even think about where food comes from and that local farms are what is needed to feed the nation.

With many countries cutting export food back to take care of their own that day may not be that far off.

Hope you all have lots of ammunition packed away.

The farmers always fair better in a depression because they have a supply of food but, what happens when the masses are hungry? They will come looking and that is, I believe, what kstaven is referring to.

yes you will have people field dressing cattle to get meat to eat.an it could get alot of people shot in the future.but who really knows what will happen.
