Hmm but this is France and the biggest farmers union FNSEA. They mostly protest over things like new environmental laws, people being vegan, not being allowed to pollute the land, not being allowed to kill wildlife etc.
They can do this by having huge tractors blocking roads, stopping the rest of us getting to work, causing environmental damage burning tyres and spreading shit everywhere that the tax payer pays to clean up.
This is not a good example.

CBCHow a trade war could boost small-scale farming in southwestern Ontario | CBC NewsA southwestern Ontario farmer hopes the ongoing U.S.-Canada trade war encourages the country to look inward to keep itself fed, while making itself more resilient in the face of future crises.
"A growing body of fiction and film ... deals with farmers' threatened way of life and their increasing unrest as a result of policies meant to curb climate change or temper its effects," writes Bartolomeo Sala in The Dial. Here's his story about "Creation Lake" by Rachel Kushner, "Cosas Vivas" by Munir Hachemi, "As Bestas," directed by Rodrigo Sorogoyen and "Alcarrás," directed by Carla Simón. "The conflict between farmers and the green transition is a new phenomenon," Sala says. "Yet the way that recent works of fiction portray this conflict often feels remarkably familiar, playing into an old idea of the countryside as a remnant bound to be destroyed by the march of progress."

Honest agriculture is local and regional. It is not factory farming. It is not trying to grow water intensive crops in the desert.
It is food security by more traditional means, not corporate profiteering. Not necessarily without tools, but definitely without disregard for the present and future growing conditions. Honest agriculture is reality based, focusing on the needs of the community.

@Blueteamsherpa When I see that millions spontaneously took to the streets in Germany (84,000,000 inhabitants) because a candidate for chancellor had accepted the votes of the ultra-right for a decision, I've actually been waiting far too long for the crowds in the USA.
This is a part of his #eugenics ideology, and it's you, the non-superrich people of the US, he wants to kill!

Quote by CNN:
"Mar 18, 2025
CNN's MJ Lee spoke to a Vermont dairy farmer whose farm is 15 miles south of the Canadian border. The farmer says he and others in the industry aren't sure what to make of the proposed tariffs on Canadian dairy."

In the course of my work at the Dept of Agriculture, I was able to travel across the #Philippines and meet our country’s most valuable resource, our farmers. One of my best jobs. #SomethingLikeLife #heritage #culture #coffee #farming #weaving #artisans #Sustainability

Climate change was responsible for just over one-third of the simultaneous soya bean crop failures across Argentina, Brazil and the US in 2012, according to a new attribution study.
Soya is one of the “big four” staple crops – along with maize, rice and wheat – that together comprise almost 65% of global calories consumed and 45% of the world’s planted farmlands.

My notes for setting the rotavator up, so I don't have to struggle through the Japanese manual every time.
The auto-tilt is so cool. There's a sensor somewhere and a tilt piston on the right 3PH arm. So when the tractor falls with one wheel into a ditch, the piston keeps the rotavator level, resulting in perfectly straight fields from uneven ground. In 1984 this must've been revolutionary.
Still haven't figured out what the feedback lever is for 
It's time!
And by that I mean, not only is it springtime, and all of us in the Pacific Northwest and most of the rest of the northern hemisphere should be starting our food crops, but... it's TIME, also. As in, politically, socially, and everything-else-ally, we all need to grow some food.
