Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.
We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.
If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.
The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

Some 💩 went down at SSA today, and it’s not great so let’s talk about it 🫠 TLDR version: effective 7/3, 40-50% of the CSR (customer service rep) staff will be reassigned to answering the national 1800#. This decision was made without input from any regional, area, or teleservice center leadership.
