Ranchers and Farmers have always been a number one priority for me. They work very hard, are smart, efficient, and immaculately CLEAN, but for years I have heard that they have had a tremendous problem with the Big Processors, who many say are a nasty Monopoly. There are, essentially, 4 of them, a very non competitive number, and they make life miserable for our wonderful Farmers and Ranchers, and I can’t let that happen, can I? So, in order to break this powerful monopoly, with much of its ownership based outside of the U.S., I am authorizing legal documents to be drawn in order to allow Farmers and Ranchers to be given the right to PROCESS THEIR OWN FOOD. This should move quickly. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
I also heard the strait is open.
Now if he can start lowering prices at the pump and grocery store we'll be in business.

I’m a big fan of farmers and ranchers too. I wasn’t aware of the Big Processors. I thought they just sold cattle and it was the onus of meat packers to do the processing.
Our former favorite Brown Joe Thomas started a ranch, Hall of Fame Farms. I gather it’s like a boutique ranch where you can buy direct. I ordered once, it’s not cheap, but it’s good. I doubt their products are sold in grocery stores though, so l assumed they did their processing in house. Here’s a link.

Beef from Pro Football Hall of Famer Joe Thomas delivered directly to your door! -
We’ve been getting proactive and a little savvy with where we get our food, and we’ve even started producing it. Living in Ohio it’s not hard to support local farmers. Most towns have a weekly farmer’s market where you can buy direct. I don’t know if we’re saving a ton of money, but it’s cool supporting your neighbors.
This was our first year with a big garden, and chickens. Pro tip, don’t let your chickens in to your garden. Those bitches will do a number on your garden, lol.
It’s been a mixed bag of results, but we’re learning a lot. Home grown tomatoes, grew some beans, we’re even growing some corn. We got a raspberry bush, but chickens love raspberries. Those bitches.
We got an indoor planting unit type thing that is great for herbs. Parsley, cilantro, dill, etc.
I joke about the chickens but they’re great to have around, and about as low maintenance as owning a cat. We haven’t bought eggs in over a month and we’re at the point where we’re pawning them off on neighbors.

I'd love to have chickens someday but not ready yet.
Same with a garden, I do not have a green thumb I learned but I'll have to catch on.
I also had no idea there was any monopolies in processing. Hopefully this works out well for our farmers and customers.

farmers have it tough - various reasons - weather, energy prices, fertilizer prices.....
my problem is with the shortcuts. Too many farmers take the easy route, a lot of herbicides, fungicides, pesticides.....artificial fertilizers, chemical processing to stop or slow the ripening, other chemicals to go ahead and ripen, hybrids for marketability - not so much for taste and health. Most big farmers use roundup etc to kill off weeds - saves from having to plow or disc so much. Some farmers have a guy come in with a $10,000 drone that can carry a tank and fly over the crops - saves the loss when using a tractor and sprayer. I've seen it in action - pretty cool.
On gardening, the garden this year is smaller because it wouldn't stop raining long enough. crazy. The heat stunted my sweet corn, and I am just now getting cucumbers and squash. The wild blackberries got burnt up by the sun, so good thing I made a LOT of wild blackberry jam last year.
I've heard there may be a wheat shortage for next year - I'm going to get a small grain grinder and buy a big bag of wheat berries, I'll grind my own flour when I need it. I thought of chickens, but it's work and we travel here and there, and the price of feed ends up not being cheap. My strawberries produced well, and I plan soon to squirrel hunt. I've been gardening since forever - blue lake beans are excellent - I'm good at making zucchini bread, etc, Amish paste tomatoes are surprisingly good, I saved seen from heirloom tomatoes. Haven't made ground cherry jam yet. My dandelion jelly is awesome - a big hit with friends - and I still have dandelion blossoms in the freezing for dandelion fritters this winter. Our apple trees are doing terrific - red northern spy and mcintosh. The pear trees didn't do well - have to trim them this late fall. I'm thinking about planting part of a field with an heirloom wheat, but I have to arrange for a local farmer to use his combine to pick it all. I collect parsley, stinging nettle and spearmint for teas, dandelion and chickory root for coffee (haven't made coffee with it yet), I've made white pine needle tea..... my favorite tomato - sunsugar cherry tomatoes. great in salads or just snacking. Heirloom brandewine and rutgers are also high on the favorites list. My sweet peppers did really well - we used to sell tomatoes at a farmer's market - a LOT of folks would only buy from us - we grew them naturally. NOTE - some farmer's marketers do not grow their own produce. They go to produce auctions and buy lots of stuff. I've had people say they grew their stuff, and when I asked what type of tomato, a few answered ...uh.... "red" or they didn't know. selling sweet corn in early may in ohio, then saying they grew their own sweet corn there in ohio...
a definite clue.
of course, the left will yell that the drought is Pres Trump's fault and a "threat to democracy".

Drought Effects on US Wheat: A Closer Look
By gaining a better understanding of these effects, farmers can implement strategies to mitigate the impact and ensure a stable supply of wheat. Moreover, policymakers can develop drought response plans and allocate resources more effectively.

BREAKING NEWS: The United States of America has just entered into an Agreement with the Country of Venezuela on, THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY! At my direction, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, working closely with Highly Respected Interim President of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez, and, through a partnership with private business, have secured majority U.S. control of more than 65 BILLION BARRELS of proven Oil Reserves in Venezuela, at no cost to the American Taxpayer. This Historic Transaction MORE THAN DOUBLES American Oil Reserves, greatly increases our Oil Supply, and will substantially lower Gas Prices for all Americans, long into the future, while helping to continue to set Venezuela on a course toward Tremendous Success and Great Prosperity. This Transaction will greatly strengthen the already growing relationship between Venezuela and the United States! Thank you for your attention to this groundbreaking matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP
More good Trump news and that means more good news for America

It wasn’t fair of me to say chickens are as low maintenance as cats, there is a lot of up front work getting a coop and infrastructure for them, but once that’s done they’re about as low maintenance as cats.
I’m not a big green thumb guy either, most of this is my gal’s handiwork, although l did grow some beans. I mostly play the role of pack mule and eradicating wasps nests in the coop as eco friendly as possible. A cup full of warm water with dish soap stealthily dunked on ‘em did the trick.

Our corn stalks are really tall but we have yet to pull a really good ear off of them. It has been a weird summer. Blazing hot at times and crazy rainy at other times.
We pulled one ear that was FULL of huitlacoche, aka corn smut. You ever get any of that? And if so, do you eat it? It’s considered a delicacy in some parts of the world. I’ve had huitlacoche tacos before and they were good.
Here’s a random question about squirrel hunting. Are you far enough north that you see black squirrels? I don’t know if everyone knows this, but we don’t get those in SOhio. I only see them when l go in to northern Ohio or Indiana.
Follow up question if you DO see black squirrels, do they taste different? I’ve never actually eaten squirrel, but l’ll try anything once. Twice if l like it.

It goes much further back than that.
Look at the auto industry here, Curtis Mathis televisions, AMF Sporting Goods, for examples, they all left in the 80s to profit overseas under the guise of "trickle down ecoonomics" and corporate profits.
I'm not a proponent of "wealth disparity" but you can't turn a blind eye to it either. The video of Rubio posted above hits the nail on the head.

actually, that is also an excellent point. Reagan was president back then. The House was controlled by the democrats - Tip O'Neal was speaker. Democrats had control of both houses of congress. Dems spend our taxes politically, regardless of whether or not that money is well spent for us, the American people. And they keep raising them.

Further back, in the time of Gov. Gilligan of Ohio, about 1970-1974 - one of those years, I was in the Air Force in 73..... Gilligan, democrat gov, created and got approved - the Ohio Income Tax.

don't get me started on the property tax, which is way older - and I think when you have your property paid off, why the hell should
you keep being taxed on it??? I don't know which party started that.

Therer definitely needs to be a cap at the very least. Once a senior citizen reaches say, age 65, it should never exceed a set amount of money (not sure what that is, every county is different).

After our property taxes doubled and people protested, the gov't officials did the same fear mongering about not having enough funds and if we even just revert our taxes police will go under and we won't be protected.
Now all of the sudden our police dept has enough funds to install flock cameras just as other communities are actually getting rid of theirs due to abuse and privacy concerns.
Something needs to change. Senior citizens is a good start.
