    STOP IMPORTS! Or at the very least manage imports reasonably. I don't understand why we continue to buy organic imports? Why don't we do what other countries do, like China? They stopped buying grain from us, why don't we? I had soybeans contracted to sell and the buyer backed out of contract because the price cut in half. I tried to sell to another buyer, and everyone was full and said check back 6 months from now. It is hurting the American organic farmer and helping the foreigner. (Much of the foreign grain does not meet the standards of organic and is generally a lesser quality) It just doesn't make sense to me.

  • @LtColDaddy71

    I don’t think a 3 yr transition is the best move for established conventional farms. We need no till and cover crop use, with an income guarantee. Here is the catch,with proper guidance, that won’t cost the tax payers. Set goals to reduce synthetic inputs in stages, as their soil builds. Get the darn animals out of the barns and CAFO’s and on the land, teach them how to rotationally graze, if they don’t want livestock, pair them up with people who do but have no land. Here is the deal. Most organic farming is tillage heavy, and also fake. I’m an organic farmer at scale, I know others are cheating, I’ve sent off the shelf organic produce in to be tested and it came back less nutritious, and with all sorts of trace banned chemicals. Then their is the foreign sourced goods, where their is zero verification and inspection. Regenerative and LOCAL is the key. Otherwise, the faceless corporations green wash themselves, and provide an inferior product that they charge more for. To REALLY change for the good, it’s a near generational process. Good luck getting farmers out of the coffee shop 9 months out of the year. Most of them are too old and can barely climb in and out of their cabs. Full of gout and diabetes, victims of their own farming methods, living on 10-15 prescription drugs to prolong their misery. They can’t work sun up to sun down like I do as a full circle farmer and rancher. Their aren’t even many farm kids on farms anymore. They are in the house being brain dead.

    You want carbon credits based on my efforts and my land, take some of that cash you have laying around, and sink it in to farmland, then rent it to me on a very long term lease at a great rate. I don’t care how you account for credits and what have not. It’s all yours. I’m not jumping in to a scheme where everyone involved is making more money than me from it. With all due respect, if I wanted that, I’d go conventional and sell my products to your grain elevators and packing houses. It would actually be better for you. That cash loses value by the minute, land does not, and farmland is the only real estate investment with zero vacancy. If a tenant doesn’t work out, you’ll find a farm that works in that area to take it over. Just speaking my peace.

    I am on youtube searching for solutions and came across your name. I have a small farm that i am trying to make a living and I have been humbled for sure. I have in ground small scale market farm techniques and weeds are taking over. I have done cardboard covered with compost, wood chips for rows 30" beds and oak leaf compost still have weeds. Looking for a crop that i can make a living with. Okra grow well here and so do weeds. This cover crop thing looks promising. I used to have cows, donkeys and horses on the property and they would eat all of the grass until it was bare. Granted I don't have much pasture for them and did not do rotational grazing. My pasture is now mostly bermuda and weeds, a lot of Dandelions which i understand is because of compaction. When I mow it looks better and at least it is covered not bare. I was thinking of spreading a diverse mix cover crop and the crimp and plant. the soil is very sandy. I am against Monsanto and mono cropping but any suggestions would be appreciated. I will be honest and say that my NFT hydroponics greens production is so much better than my in ground production mainly because of the weeds or the lack their of. You mentioned a University or course I am very interested to learn. I own the land and my home going Blind quickly working on my health. I need to have something i can earn a living from. 57 years old and i have farm helpers, any advice please. I am looking to have a vegetable stand and do some agro tourism type stuff. I have hugelkulture raised beds that are amazing and wish to practice no till. I am located in North Texas Hot summers and some cold winters. I have been experimenting growing different things and seeing what works here in my climate. Shallotts, okra and Garlic is amazing. Not selling any yet.
