Not enough water out west where most of the farms are located. Lake Mead has run close to dry. Reduced by half. We will have to build desalinization plants soon...and the oceans will run dry.
The farms that ARE productive, in California, for example, are run by illegal cartels, and are stealing water and electricity to grow pot. They actually busted one such farm, because the cartel members were threatening local residents with firearms.

Speaking for rural farming ... the liberals hate the idea completely.
98% of liberals are urban and only concerned about urban things.
A farm can generate an income of about $1000 per acre per year.
A 160 acre farm means the farmer might do quite well ... much better than an urban family ... with a bigger house!
The liberals must stop that degree of individualism and prosperity.
They can not allow it to flourish.

@questionWeaver We contracted out for hay this year to a big cattleman's coop up north a bit. Last year I thought I had blown it by trusting the almanac when it gave its winter forecast. We grew a ton of hay and had wrapped it and stored it in all the dry storage we had . I mean it was stacked everywhere. It was the good stuff, top grade alphalpha . Then the winter storm hit and the bidding got crazy for it. We got more per bale than I ever imagined was possible. So those same people who bought our stuff approached me this year and asked us to contract with them and a few bucks off prime for as much as we could grow. We have nearly 4000 acres in cultivation and with the rains and the heat we were cutting every 28 days. On the fifth cutting they cried no mas and wanted to negotiate a buy out, they couldnt store anymore. Instead of money I asked them if they could lend us a couple of good angus bulls to stud. Ours is getting to old and we need to replace him. They thought that was a great idea and from that we now have a contract to winter some of their cattle at the farm . We will let them graze the alphalpha and we also plant winter wheat and oats . Moral of the story is trust the almanac if you are a farmer!

@checkoutanytime Sorry but you seem to be way off in the weeds here. Regardless of the currency being used society relies on a currency if it is to function as a modern society. The old barter system doesn't work so well.

@hippyjoe1955 I'm saying our food distribution, would curve hunger while validation of unemployment

Economics has been an issue for Rs and Ds. Already USDA offers 50% cost-share for practices like fences, water systems, grazing systems, etc.
Startup costs are high. Avg age of small farmer is in 60s. Next gens either not interested or too many after split up the land among kids.
Cost sharing startup might help, but wont be cheap and would itself drive land prices higher.
In HI, native Hawaiians can sign up for agr land to yse (not own...communal), but waiting period is over 20 years.

@tindrummer eliminate quacks like Sanders & Biden, the wrote the 1994 prison reform, that basically is the nail in the coffin for my case, the prosecution rests.

@checkoutanytime Eliminate them how?
What does prison reform have to do with the subject of your post?

@tindrummer vote them out.
It's when nothing of value to the people came reality of county farms. The 1994 biden×sanders prison reform, that privatized County obligations.
