Interesting conversation. I have many thoughts, but commenting on my phone is torture. I have been in agriculture my whole life, but also have a day job with the government. I don't own a tractor, so clearly I can't be a farmer right? The food system is broken, COVID showed me that. Just as farmers are 1-2% of the population, they are just the smallest part of the food system. Transportation and big food companies make the food in grocery stores. Know who grows your food, and you will be fed. Know the grocery store only, and soon you will be hungry.

Melissa, that last line is a gut punch. Ought to be on a billboard. I appreciate you reading and commenting. 🌱
Posted the petition with gratitude! I don't have time to watch videos this time of year so I'm glad you give me text to scan quickly instead.

Trave, you’re not just raising your voice—you’re raising the standard.
If Substack had a courtroom, you’d already have the gavel.👏 🌱
