We've lost 14,950 farms and 2,100,000 acres of farmland since 2023
The USDA has reported the loss of farmland in the U.S. for 2024. The numbers line up with a trend that's been going on for years, totaling 150,000 farms lost sinc
AND AT THIS RATE,BECAUSE THE CHILDREN DO NOT WANT TO FARM, BUT RATHER GRAB THE MONEY...HOW MANY OTHER FARMS WILL BE LOST AND NOT PRODUCE FOOD? THE MAJOR MICRO VIEW IS SO ALARMING....PERSONAL STORY...BAILEY HAD A VERY LARGE PARCEL CALLED DEER CREEK VALLEY RANCH....DEER CREEK RUNNING THRU IT, ELK HERDS CALVING ON THE RIDGE, AND JUST A REALLY MAGNIFICENT RANCH....IT'S BEEN PARCELED OUT,SUB DIVIDED MANY TIMES AND THE REMAINING RANCH (MANY,MANY ACRES STILL) IS ON THE MARKET FOR 1 OR 2 MILLION....THE KIDS WANT THE MONEY,THEY R NOT INTERESTED IN CONSERVATION OF THE BEAUTIFUL LAND AND THE WILDLIFE. THAT INHABIT THE AREA...
U NEED A REALITY CHECK....RURAL IS NO LONGER RURAL,DEVELOPERS R SLAMMING HOUSES IN WITH SET BACKS THAT R OBSCENELY SMALL....ELK USE TO MIGRATE THRU THE AREA INTO THE VALLEY,NOT ANYMORE.....I COULD HEAR TWO ELK CLASHING HORNS (IN THE MORNING)
FROM MY BEDROOM WINDOW....THEY LOVED TO STOP AND TAKE A DRINK FROM OUR RUNNING ROCK FOUNTAIN.....SO WOULD BOBCAT,RABBITS,COYOTES,DEER,SQUIRRELS,THREE DIFFERENT SPECIES.....i ASKED MY NEIGHBOR (WE STILL MEET THEM IN PANONIA EVERY YEAR)....NOPE, RARELY SEE THE ELK OR MUCH WILDLIFE ANYMORE....TOO MUCH DEVELOPMENT.
Yet, we are still having record harvests. Paul Harvey was warning us about losing farmland thirty years ago. Maybe the farmland sold for housing was the marginal, unproductive acreage?
Our farmers have produced so many soybeans we cannot find buyers for them all. Might have to pay China to take them.

This was a real famine. Millions more died under Stalin than Putin. And the NY Times? Their on scene reporter covered up for Stalin because he didn't want to criticize other Leftists.
Thought it might hurt socialist and communists in America.

Trump has satisfied a lot of the promises he made to voters.
Tell me, HA, in the 12 years of Obama/Biden, how many promises did those two presidents manage to deliver on? Can you think of one that worked out well for the American people?
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
WE R SPEAKING TO FARMERS/RANCHERS TOPIC ONLY...NO, THE PROMISES TO THE FARMERS
WERE EMPTY WORDS AND THE MIDWEST FARMERS R PRETTY PISSED....IT IS THEIR LIVELIHOOD AND THEIR FAMILIES R WAITING....HE DID ,FINALLY REVERSE THE BEEF IMPORT
ISSUE....WE SHALL SEE HOW THAT CORRECTS THE MISGUIDED AND STUPID MISTAKE, MADE BY THE KING.
In the twelve years Obama and Biden were president, name one promise that was kept and actually worked.
The problem you anti-Trump leftists have is that you can’t show any examples of Democrat progress that helps Americans. You had 12 years…. Trump is on year 5.
