Farmers / ranchers are the true welfare queens.
So you're against subsidized food? I can't tell if what i wrote is a joke.
Look up how much corn gets used for ethanol.
Then look up how much of the soybean harvest is shipped overseas (before Trump ruined the markets)
Ok, now what do i do?
You're meant to apply your brain AND THINK.
God, even the dumb people from 30 years ago are smarter than the average person today.
Thank you!
Subsidize small local farmers who use sustainable practices like cover crops and permaculture. We need to overhaul our system and move away from this corrupt industrial farming scam system. Everyone who can should have chickens and a vegetable garden at home. Imagine how much better things would be if the majority had this?
there are plenty of other states that produce food that isnt montana, you do realize that right. california has enoug fertile land to sustain itself.
