Farming is such a noble occupation by nature, Feeding the people is a beautiful thing. But when you get money from leaving a field fallow, that is money that "we the people" paid, it is socialism through and through. Acknowledge that and embrace that it is not just for you a chosen few. #maga #democracy #socialdemocracy #farming
The Produce News: "...In the wake of cuts to federal food-safety programs, California leafy greens farmers are looking to assure consumers that mandatory, government-enforced food-safety practices are taking place on their farms every day...."

Another productive day on the farm today, almost 300 plants potted up, a large number planted out and a few hundred more supplied.

heute wieder ein produktiver Tag am Hof, knapp 300 pflanzen umgetopft eine große Menge ausgepflanzt und noch einige hundert mehr versorgt.
#Republicans from #farming states have been put in a particularly tough position by the tariffs. “We all know #agricultural is usually the first place of retaliation,” Grassley says.
#Grassley says he has taken a vocal “wait & see” approach 
to #tariffs because he believes #Trump & Greer are using them as a tool to get fairer trade (nope). “If that’s not the case, level with me.”
An explosive whistleblowing memo from an anonymous group of food industry executives has warned the sector is heading for an economic disaster bigger than the pandemic, with companies’ resilience planning based on “wishful thinking” and “false reassurances” to investors.

A community gardening group is hoping to have many ponds in the area, to foster wildlife. At the pond class we were shocked to hear that *all water plants* (we're using native species) are imported - no one produces lovely water plants like Iris - native yellow flag iris, Feileastram; Nymphaea alba, native white water lily, bacán bán; Filipendula ulmaria, the scented meadowsweet, Airgead luachra, Persicaria amphibia, amphibious bistort, Glúineach uisce…

Forgot to share this interview with co-owner of Rise & Root Farm, Karen Washington. She went from creating a garden in a vacant Bronx lot to opening a farm that just received its organic certification. She also coined the term #FoodApartheid. It's pouring rain here today, so its a great day to stay inside and have a listen.

"There are multiple reasons for why food prices are on the rise. There are major similarities between the FAO food price index and energy prices. ...Transportation costs have increased a lot, which have two consequences. One is simply that costs increase, the other, equally important, is that competition decreases... More than free trade policies, the low cost of transportation has been the main engine for the economic globalization.
Also today, Rueben has put a handful of ewes and lambs out by Unthank. I was surprised to see them as this will be a hay meadow in a few weeks time. He's maybe short of places to put them.
It's a worry for me as there are now at least 5 Lapwing nesting in the field, possibly 6. They could be trampled by the sheep, it does happen. There's also 5 grey lag geese arrived and are blundering about. Neville was firing rockets at geese when they were on his fields but he had 90+.

I had to go along to Craig's to tell him some of his Swaledales had broken through a wall into his neighbour's field by Unthank. They've taken the top of the wall off, so might be a job for me later. His son Cal was set on to throw the stones back up to fill the gap temporarily.
I had a look at his Spotties in the fields near the farm, which are looking good in this decent weather. The lambs are a mixture, some spotty on white, some all darker brown.

A part of Eryri so undisturbed that it's still possible to walk through the pattern of leading wall openings to an ancient - probably Bronze Age - field system.
Of course, being in Wales, it's never received anything other than the most cursory of notes-in-passing study, despite being in a wider area of intense prehistoric activity.
If this were found anywhere else, imagine the excitement.
When you cut one side of a hedge and leave the other you can really see the difference rotational cutting makes, plenty of blackthorn here to keep the pollinators happy #farming #agriculture #pollinators
As Donald Trump's sweeping global tariffs took effect, U.S. farmers hoping for a profit this year instead found themselves facing lower crop prices — and the prospect of ceding more ground in foreign markets. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/04/06/economy/us-farmers-tariffs/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #us #farming #donaldtrump #trade #tradewars #tariffs
Austria closes off 24 border crossings with Hungary and Slovakia after foot-and-mouth disease outbreak.
