Do not get complacent now, folks. Now is the time to hold your local Officials accountable to do what is best for you and your family. Do NOT let "Others" choose your Sheriff, Prosecutor, Judges, County Supervisors, Mayor, Town Council Members, School Board Members, Land Use-Planning Board Members, Water Board Members, and other local Officials for you. Rebuild your local government from the bottom up.
Planning board is often overlooked and underrated, because when a big business comes in and builds whatever they are doing, they continue to have outsized influence over your community. We have to stop developers that are only interested in money, and towns that find more creative ways to maintain their budgets. The smaller the community, the more free they are.
I’m in favor Joel Salatin being involved. We’ll see when the other shoe drops what the catch is but this is promising news. Never thought I’d say that in reference to another Trump administration
If governments are now allowing Mary Jane to be sold to adults then row milk should also be the same decision. Do we not have volition? On a side note the best way to store milk is the freeze dry.
I think we are going to see a massive overhaul of the USDA and FDA, that will result in major victories for the small farmer. We will see a shift towards how it used to be; towns and cities getting much of their food supply from outlying farms that surround them. Food security is a concern for our nation, and small farms will help to tighten up that food security.
I remember those days. We had a tiny neighborhood storefront and butcher out of their house. An older guy and his wife. He would buy whole cows from a farm on the edge of town and hang them in a big walk in freezer in his basement. When we ordered a cut he would go down and take a chunk off the cow and cut it up custom as we watched. Talk about fresh and full disclosure to cleanliness. They shut him down quick when usda took over, so sad.
I’m a big fan of Joel Salatin and Thomas Massie, but I like Elon Musk’s idea better. Instead of trying to make unnecessary government departments more efficient, delete them. The federal government is not authorized by the Constitution to interfere in agriculture. The starting point for what to keep in the federal government should be if the agency doesn’t perform one of the functions of the 27 enumerated powers in the Constitution, it needs to be deleted. And, we need to go back to a pre-1937 interpretation of the Commerce Clause. 10th Amendment: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
I think if you want to buy something not approved by the USDA like raw milk, you should be able to just sign a waiver saying you know what you’re doing and won’t try to sue the USDA and just buy the thing and go on with your day.
@@laughinggiraffe9176the USDA is not concerned with food safety. They allow the big food processors to process food in conditions that result in thousands of people getting sick and hundreds dying every year. They are only concerned with control, compliance and expanding their reach. If people want government interference in their food production, let the states do it.
We sell beef direct consumer and I agree there are definitely problems we've seen an unregulated dairy here get quite a few people sick I don't remember the pathogen so there needs to be common sense reform but not scrapping all the regulations
Feelings are simply just feelings. Truth is what you perceive it to be from your life experience and the facts. Never be reluctant to tell the truth as you see it from your experience and the facts. ALWAYS tell the truth
It’s time for all the caring and loving Americans to unite together against incompetent government leaders. We must do what’s best for our family farmers and customers. Everyone must learn that ninety-nine percent of our food comes from corporate farming. They are totally controlling our food production and processing. Along with our supply chains and markets. We cannot allow greedy billionaires, corporations and other countries control our food supply.
If they take the view of Clarkson's farm from the UK then you would actually be able to sell direct customer more easily. Clarkson's farm really shows us how farmers are actually struggling end that we've forgotten. Then again I've got rosy eye glasses and I wanna have my own Homestead Then again I've got rosy eye glasses and I wanna have my own Homestead, And fulfil my own solarpunk dream
I think it will be great news. I am trying to get a small permaculture farm going. And i think it will be more possible. They weren't giving grants to small sustainable farms Or incentives.
We all deserve better fair and balanced markets for our family farmers. The greedy corporations are making all the decisions and profits in our food supply. Our poor farmers deserve fair market access the world. They cannot sell anything out of the USA without going through an export broker. These export brokers agents must work for the family farmers instead of greedy corporations.
@@bipslone8880 Exactly! Not to mention, once you get rid of too many of those boring and invisible bureaucrats, you'll realize that the jobs they did was what actually kept the whole government apparatus running. Democracies are complex entities. It's non-democracies that can get small... because what are citizens going to do when nothing works anymore? Complain to their leaders and risk jail time?
@@PlaneViewFarm Exactly. Small farms are one of their major threats. If they can crush the small farmers, they will have total control over production, supply and prices. My guess is that big ag has too much power to allow Massie to have that cabinet position, but I've been wrong before.
@PlaneViewFarm Thomas Massie has his own youtube channel, as do many members of congress. Interesting fellow, and a homesteader at heart. I wonder (if it comes to it), if big AG will attempt to file suit against small farmers (specifically non-gmo, organic producers) via state or fed agriculture departments. In effect, a reiteration of the Amos Miller suit. The lawsuit against the Mexican government involving their produce also comes to mind.
I am for smaller farmers, any business really, being able to create a market for themselves outside of the domination of large consolidated corporations and the negative influences of money in politics. The caveat is regulation and safety protocols provide a legal framework for both consumers and producers. Many regulations were created because of the bad behavior of a minority of people in the business, and yes some because of money influence to reduce competition. I think it’s a good idea to review what can be done, but it should be done in public and thought through. I really wish money was not such a factor in politics. I would also do away with gerrymandering, voting districts should be as compact as possible.
Direct to consumer farming and community farming relates to National Security, because when a people become reliant on foreign countries for food, they lose autonomy. We have to be self sufficient for our food, to be sovereign. That said,...Sonny Perdue did not care one crap about small farmers. We'll see who the Ag sec is.
We were so terrified of the outcomes of the election that we decided to leave the U.S. I’m glad we did now because I know the incoming administration will not care about any small businesses!
Thomas Massie did not get chosen but a lady name Brooke Rollins and Joe Salatin has not heard anything more about this advisory position but said his name was one of many swirling around in a pot. Joe recently did an interview with Dr. Sina McCullough where he discusses all of this. He said the lady chosen over Massie seems to be an "agricultural lightweight" who was in 4H and FFA but her strong suit seems to be managed an organization. He is hopeful she will be maleable and willing to listen to the needs of small farmers and he said she was not a terrible choice since she does not have obvious ties to corporate interest. He said it was exciting to get a call telling him his name was in the running for an advisory position but nothing has yet come of it and he has no expectations that anything would come of it. I am still hopeful he will get another call and an official offer but we will have to wait and see.
Big ag companies have lobbists. Take the money like that and more out of gov't. Joel Salatin might be the only good thing to come out of this administration. Love our raw milk here.
Wait a minute, are you telling me Joe Salatin, is going to be part of a new USDA Regulation system? Good Idea 💡🎉 Imagine America raising food at Country scale using his methods... Better and healthier food at Less cost. Most people are afraid of drastic changes though.
Do you collaborate with Doug & Stacy there in your neck of the woods? I agree this incoming administration will be interesting. Apparently Massie will play a role.
Common sense is needed more than ever. The majority of consumers would much prefer to buy local, and support local everything. The amount of paperwork and financial investment in infrastructure is a huge barrier and deterrent to most farmers. It can be done, hopefully it becomes easier and common sense is restored. Having Joel as an advisor is a great move forward, I hope they listen to him and not the $$$ influence of the big 4.
so yeah, I know the historical facts. did ya know Joel Salatin has been asked to join RFKs team to go after big ag? there's several others too so just hold your britches a bit

I hate to break it to yall but there’s no chance of Trump listening to salatin. The people trump likes and agrees with he only listens to about 5% of the time
He is having Kennedy take charge on food and medicine. Kind of gave him a wide birth so much will be delegated not so much to trump but to Kennedy who himself has a team of experts. Trump will be informed but he won’t be the one interacting with people like Salatin or the movement as such.
At least let's get these voices as advisors, so it's clearly laid out the other options are, how to run regenerative farms. One of my gardening books said that the topsoil is washing away at such an astronomical rate that there's only about 40-50 years left of it in the US. (Save Soil is the org formally working on this, if anyone wants more info).
Ever read Upton Sinclairs "The Jungle"? Pre agency and regulations expose on the meat packing industry. Regulations make food safe, in theory. Cut corners, people get sick.
I have. I had to read it a couple of times in school. The problem is that we've moved away from food safety into regulatory overload. If food safety is the goal, then results should matter. However, that's often not the case. For instance, outside of the US, it is common to find unwashed eggs in the grocery store next to canned vegetables off of refrigeration. It's proven to be just as safe as washing eggs in a sanitizer and putting them in the dairy cooler. Yet, the government doesn't care what scientific studies say. They just know that their regulations state that the eggs must be washed and refrigerated or they are unsafe for consumption. That's just the tip of the iceberg. I'm reminded of a quote by Elena Gorokhova from A Mountain Of Crumbs, "The rules are simple: they lie to us, we know they're lying, they know we know they're lying, but they keep lying to us, and we keep pretending to believe them." To some that might seem extreme, but to many, it is an undeniable truth. We've come a long way from the days of Upton Sinclair and the gross negligence of the food industry of the early 20th century. It's time to stop pretending that the regulatory apparatus knows best when we all know that they don't.
@@PlaneViewFarmPart of that is because big ag, big chem, big pharma and big food (often inter related parts of the same conglomerate and often have interrelated needs and goals - looking at you Monsanto (now owned by Bayer of Germany)) lobby and buy policies that benefit their bottom line and not consumers or small producers, or, shocker, the environment if these folks really cared about what they preached. All this regulation and how often is there a recall, E Coli scare or chemical contamination. All while destroying the ability for neighbors to provide for and engage in commerce with one another. Bill Mollison once said that gardening/farming is an act of peaceful sedition, and that is because it removes an individual’s dependence on the government and systems of support on one of their most pressing and vital needs for life. Bill’s student, Geoff Lawton, confirmed his reasoning. At least it’s the most vital the can control of yours until they figure out how to regulate and tax breathing. 😂 Don’t worry they’ve been hitting water had over the last couple decades, too. Ask Colorado.
@@PlaneViewFarm In the US we wash eggs and refrigerate to prevent salmonella. In Europe regulations require hens to be vaccinated for salmonella therefore washing the eggs is not necessary and maintaining the cuticle allows eggs to be kept at room temperature longer. You just trade one regulation for another.
The bigger issues with todays farmers / farming is that farming is and has been followed and directed by what they call a " conservative " Chuck Grassley. So in farming now we have far more government control then needed ! Its called government farm programs ! Hence.....farmers are now sitting on land that could be occupied by young farmer. But are frozen in farm subsidies / farm programs/ federal crop insurance/ CRP.. Chuck Grassley commented on " draining the swamp " Hello......he is the swamp ! Been there far too long ! We need fresh advisors / oversight ! Get rid of this so called " conservativism " !
It'd be interesting to see a comparison video in four years. Could be something happened, could be this is just political wrangling aka business as usual - a bit like Trump's first Cabinet.
@klauskarbaumer6302 That's true, but Congress has ceded a great deal of their oversight to the regulatory apparatus. In many cases, bureaucrats are free to make rules and set their own standards.
@@PlaneViewFarm I agree; Big Ag influences the regulatory apparatus as well, mostly with rules that make life unnecessarily harder for small famers, so we have to identify which rules are to the benefit of corporate and big farms, which are beneficial to consumers, small farmers, environment and farm animals.
Coming from a left wing libertarian socialist, I can side with some of the Joel Salatin Stuff. Thomas Massie though didn't want to make lynching a hate crime so...
If we get rid of regulation we must increase the consequences of lazy (cheap) food production. People will die and their families need teeth in their pursuit of justice.
Welcome to the Trumper’s World! Everyone is free to think what they want! So don’t complain when the Trumpers ruin everything you worked for. You don’t want to say it but you are saying it! Welcome to your world where you don’t take a stand and now get to live with i5! Congratulations !
Make Salatin the Secretary of Agriculture and then I would be a believer. If they want to change my mind I need their actions, not words. Change the policies and change the laws. Short of that it's just cheap talk.

First time viewer of your channel. Please stop with the "whatever you think about...." waffling. Own your opinions, politely and firmly. Adults are free to disagree with you. If they want to get all bent out of shape about your position, let them go. Sorry, but I got 4 minutes into the video and all I heard was a version of "sorry if you don't agree."
During the 4 yrs Trump was President, taking all the money he was throwing my way was like trying to drink from a fire hose. I wasn’t about to refuse it. I don’t think it’s a solution, and would go as far as to say, farmers from the black earth corn belt like myself have lost ten times more than we have received. The farm bill incentivizes growing crops in areas that didn’t used to grow them, resulting in over production, and low prices.
People forget that tariffs used to be normal practice in days gone by and our country was rich and thriving. eBay has a tariff and Etsy, Amazon etc. all those selling sites that charge you a fee to sell to people using them. How about the fee people pay to set up a stand and sell at the farmers market. People still buy on them.
@@bipslone8880 actually, I agree. I looked at it as a chance to take some,e of my own money back, and use it against them. I don’t agree with government involvement in farming though. As a black earth, corn belt farmer, I have lost way more revenue due to the farm bill than I’ve ever collected. It supports dumb asses, those who lack innovation, and people growing crops not suitable to where they farm.
He is also an environmentalist, which means that he understands that it is better to grow food using uncontaminated soil and water, rather than chemical fertilizer, pesticides and weed killer
@@timmurphy334 No I asking you plain and simple Why would any farmer contaminate his soil that provides a living for his family?? GMO technology is used all over the world in many many things and the safety of GMO technology has been proven all over the world. All insulin used by diabetics is GMO technology insulin!!! Glyphosate(Glyphosate) is by far the safest herbicide farmers have ever used even safer than many of the pesticides Organic growers use. Can you name ONE out many many many herbicides farmers can use instead of or with Glyphosate that is SAFER??? The answer to my first question is they DON"T!!!!
Salatin is a sheister and pyramid scheme huckster; he'll be PERFECT for the position. Anyone whose tried those forms of farming knows he's selling a fantasy. Regenerative farming needs promoted, but wish it wasn't this fraudster. For reference, his bro is "knowledge" guy who used to selflessly promote
Respectfully, I disagree. Salatin's methods are proven to work, and he shares his knowledge for anyone who wants to follow his tried and true methods. He has figured out how to make family farming profitable. Anyone willing to work hard can do the same.
Kennedy, Salatin, and Massie are exactly who we need in charge of American agriculture and the shift to regenerative agriculture.
I hope this is a sarcastic comment.

To some that might seem extreme, but to many, it is an undeniable truth.
We've come a long way from the days of Upton Sinclair and the gross negligence of the food industry of the early 20th century. It's time to stop pretending that the regulatory apparatus knows best when we all know that they don't.
@@PlaneViewFarmPart of that is because big ag, big chem, big pharma and big food (often inter related parts of the same conglomerate and often have interrelated needs and goals - looking at you Monsanto (now owned by Bayer of Germany)) lobby and buy policies that benefit their bottom line and not consumers or small producers, or, shocker, the environment if these folks really cared about what they preached. All this regulation and how often is there a recall, E Coli scare or chemical contamination. All while destroying the ability for neighbors to provide for and engage in commerce with one another. Bill Mollison once said that gardening/farming is an act of peaceful sedition, and that is because it removes an individual’s dependence on the government and systems of support on one of their most pressing and vital needs for life. Bill’s student, Geoff Lawton, confirmed his reasoning. At least it’s the most vital the can control of yours until they figure out how to regulate and tax breathing. 😂 Don’t worry they’ve been hitting water had over the last couple decades, too. Ask Colorado.
@@PlaneViewFarm In the US we wash eggs and refrigerate to prevent salmonella. In Europe regulations require hens to be vaccinated for salmonella therefore washing the eggs is not necessary and maintaining the cuticle allows eggs to be kept at room temperature longer. You just trade one regulation for another.
Wow.
The bigger issues with todays farmers / farming is that farming is and has been followed and directed by what they call a " conservative " Chuck Grassley. So in farming now we have far more government control then needed ! Its called government farm programs ! Hence.....farmers are now sitting on land that could be occupied by young farmer. But are frozen in farm subsidies / farm programs/ federal crop insurance/ CRP..
Chuck Grassley commented on " draining the swamp " Hello......he is the swamp ! Been there far too long ! We need fresh advisors / oversight !
Get rid of this so called " conservativism " !
I am pinching myself. 😢Wake me up! I feel like we are one step closer to the Kingdom of heaven’s rule on earth.
Massie for Agriculture Secretary!!!
I hope they will listen to Joe. Even in small places like a backyard you can grow a food forest.
It'd be interesting to see a comparison video in four years. Could be something happened, could be this is just political wrangling aka business as usual - a bit like Trump's first Cabinet.
Laws are made in Congress, not by the president. So, all the hope expressed here will have to deal with the Big Ag interests represented in Congress.
@klauskarbaumer6302 That's true, but Congress has ceded a great deal of their oversight to the regulatory apparatus. In many cases, bureaucrats are free to make rules and set their own standards.
@@PlaneViewFarm I agree; Big Ag influences the regulatory apparatus as well, mostly with rules that make life unnecessarily harder for small famers, so we have to identify which rules are to the benefit of corporate and big farms, which are beneficial to consumers, small farmers, environment and farm animals.
Yay! Yay! Real change is on the way!!!!
46 mile round trip for a gallon of raw makes it a luxury for us.
Build community so you don't just have one person driving for one gallon.
Only 26 mile round trip here. It's so worth it.
90 minutes each way for me! 😮 it’s hard for me to comprehend that marijuana is legal in many states but raw milk is not.
Awesome news
Am i dreaming. What a difference that would make in food quality and our freedom
Coming from a left wing libertarian socialist, I can side with some of the Joel Salatin Stuff. Thomas Massie though didn't want to make lynching a hate crime so...
I’m thrilled about RFK Jr, Rep. Massie and Joel Salatin🙏🏽💚🇺🇸
@ I’d love to see you up against him on any intellectual challenge!
@ I wish you well and am sorry that you see people in such a biased way.
If we get rid of regulation we must increase the consequences of lazy (cheap) food production. People will die and their families need teeth in their pursuit of justice.
Infuriating and EXCITING !
Trump has always been a fan of cutting red tape BS. -KJ
Roy and ethel need to d😂grade this life style. 😊😊😊
I like this l work for daries. .
Get ready to DOWN 👇 GRADE 😊😊😊
Welcome to the Trumper’s World! Everyone is free to think what they want! So don’t complain when the Trumpers ruin everything you worked for. You don’t want to say it but you are saying it! Welcome to your world where you don’t take a stand and now get to live with i5! Congratulations !
Make Salatin the Secretary of Agriculture and then I would be a believer. If they want to change my mind I need their actions, not words. Change the policies and change the laws. Short of that it's just cheap talk.
Please condense posts to 10 minutes or less to increase subscribers. Also the Amish voted for Trump since Biden was trying to shut them down ! We love the Amish !!
I enjoy the long content - don’t stop.
@@caseypiton9146 Good point. What REDACTED and TUCKER do is create an original post then break the original up into segments of 10 minutes each. Keep up the good work !!
First time viewer of your channel. Please stop with the "whatever you think about...." waffling. Own your opinions, politely and firmly. Adults are free to disagree with you. If they want to get all bent out of shape about your position, let them go. Sorry, but I got 4 minutes into the video and all I heard was a version of "sorry if you don't agree."
i just gotta know know what this dude keeps booping down there out of frame
My phone. It had my notes on it to keep me from wandering too far off topic 🤣
@ lol makes sense. loved the video tho man!
When trump gets through with all the tariffs not only the farmer, but everyone will be bankrupt.
During the 4 yrs Trump was President, taking all the money he was throwing my way was like trying to drink from a fire hose. I wasn’t about to refuse it. I don’t think it’s a solution, and would go as far as to say, farmers from the black earth corn belt like myself have lost ten times more than we have received. The farm bill incentivizes growing crops in areas that didn’t used to grow them, resulting in over production, and low prices.
People forget that tariffs used to be normal practice in days gone by and our country was rich and thriving. eBay has a tariff and Etsy, Amazon etc. all those selling sites that charge you a fee to sell to people using them. How about the fee people pay to set up a stand and sell at the farmers market. People still buy on them.
@@bipslone8880 actually, I agree. I looked at it as a chance to take some,e of my own money back, and use it against them. I don’t agree with government involvement in farming though. As a black earth, corn belt farmer, I have lost way more revenue due to the farm bill than I’ve ever collected. It supports dumb asses, those who lack innovation, and people growing crops not suitable to where they farm.
Keep Kennedy out of it. His expertise is in environmental law, NOT agriculture.
@@bipslone8880 No kidding. 🙄
He is also an environmentalist, which means that he understands that it is better to grow food using uncontaminated soil and water, rather than chemical fertilizer, pesticides and weed killer
@@timmurphy334 Why would a farmer contaminate his soil that provides a living for his family? You sound very clueless about this subject.
@@davidadcock3382
Are you asking why a farmer would elect to grow a gmo, "roundup ready" monoculture?
@@timmurphy334 No I asking you plain and simple Why would any farmer contaminate his soil that provides a living for his family?? GMO technology is used all over the world in many many things and the safety of GMO technology has been proven all over the world. All insulin used by diabetics is GMO technology insulin!!! Glyphosate(Glyphosate) is by far the safest herbicide farmers have ever used even safer than many of the pesticides Organic growers use. Can you name ONE out many many many herbicides farmers can use instead of or with Glyphosate that is SAFER??? The answer to my first question is they DON"T!!!!
Salatin is a sheister and pyramid scheme huckster; he'll be PERFECT for the position. Anyone whose tried those forms of farming knows he's selling a fantasy. Regenerative farming needs promoted, but wish it wasn't this fraudster. For reference, his bro is "knowledge" guy who used to selflessly promote
Respectfully, I disagree. Salatin's methods are proven to work, and he shares his knowledge for anyone who wants to follow his tried and true methods. He has figured out how to make family farming profitable. Anyone willing to work hard can do the same.
I'd disagree.
Generally speaking farming is very cookie cutter.
