  • “Never in the history of the United States had such a massive agriculture protest been staged.” Forty-five years ago in February, 1979, thousands of farmers from across the country formed a NATIONAL TRACTORCADE and converged in Washington, D.C. rallying Congress for parity, a fair price for their agriculture products. "Parity not charity!" This massive demonstration was formed by members of the American Agriculture Movement.

    I was there. Didn't drive a tractor. Drove a pickup. Went in to DC on a Monday morning. Sure made a big traffic jam. Tractors almost made it to the Capital. The law enforcement knocked the fuel lines off the tractors that tried.

    Based on what I'm starting to see happening around the world with the WEF encouraging leaders to make some absurd rules that have the farmers and tractors lining up in the cities, I'd say you might wanna start dusting off some of those relics for a round two in DC🤷‍♂️🇺🇲
