Similar is happening in Europe, in the UK it seems the gov is anti farm 🤷
John Deere got this video taken off our YouTube for two weeks. It took our lawyers reaching out to YouTube to get it back up.
The video lays out how a handful of corporations took control of the agriculture industry, bankrupting farmers and screwing us all over.
