Small farmer, ex-farm worker & crop scientist. Here to talk food, agriculture, and money.
Ever heard someone say "We SHOULD pay farm workers more! But then oranges will cost $3 each?" We're debunking that today. youtube.com/watch?v=mfHUnK…
Made a video on this, just in time to find out Dems are co-sponsoring a Senate bill for farmer mental health funding. That's why the farm lobby does this- so they can gut safety nets for everyone else, & still get special carveouts for themselves. youtu.be/5rvi5CrAXbc
Due to tariffs, we're likely to hear a lot about farm mental health as harvest approaches this year. So let's get it on the record now. The "farmer suicide epidemic" of the last few years has no basis in fact. It's a lobbying tactic.
Here in late July, it's a nonstop steam bath outside. Pls enjoy this brief farm tour, & how I keep my plants trucking in the heat! youtu.be/m4et5SNpPyQ
If I work from home & I can't get work done because of a problem with my apartment (power outages, a water leak, etc) can my boss sue my landlord for damages asking for a friend
it's time every day it's time to go do the daily Growing Plants chores & every day it's 90-100°F with 3,000% humidity time to get moist time to Become Frog
If you've ever thought "It's such a bummer that farm jobs are so bad, no American would ever want them," NONE OF THAT IS TRUE. Here's what a proper farm sector with real jobs & upward mobility might look like. (Extremely abridged bc 8 minutes.) youtu.be/FdZfYMIv3iM
