A Conbine holds 140 gallons of Diesel at $7.00 a gallon and the crops can't be harvested otherwise. Farmers are more than angry at Trump. They are feeling it VERY HARD during this fall's harvest. It won't matter what Trump does or says AFTER the midterms. We have to VOTE BLUE to help America's Farmers. Full Stop!

At one of my market events, I met a skincare maker who told me that they have an AI Agent as a "business partner". This AI tells him what color, what fragrance and what packaging to use for various products. It also tells him how to price his items and where to source ingredients. The thing that compelled me to look at his items was the fact that he claimed all-natural and no chemicals (meanwhile fragrance is a chemical) and his prices were about 50% lower than skincare I have seen elsewhere. I make a natural cream for instance that takes me all day to make 20 containers. If I wanted to stay awake into the night, I could keep going and make another 20. So just my time spent to MAKE them at minimum wage is $130. Then there is the cost of ingredients and the packaging and how bout my booth fees when I go to sell it and my time to sell it whether at a show or online and ship it. Then I have to sacrifice a sample jar or two. Then there is the gas and wear and tear on my car to get to my farm markets. So I price my cream at $20 per jar. His is $ 3. I smell LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE! So I started questioning him and he claims it costs him 40-50 cents to make any one of his products. He claimed he can make 50 of one item in 50 minutes (this is how much of a braggert he was...he did not say 1 hour! JUST 50 MINUTES because he has it down to "a science" thanks to AI. Mind you there is the time it takes to order your ingredients...the time it takes to unpack your ingredients and maybe track a package that got lost and then in his case HE IS MILKING LIVE ANIMALS to add milk to the cream???? Add vet bill and hay to each of your years worth of products. BTW...he claims he sells gallon jugs of raw milk all day long. Then I find out he has only 30 animals? Then I find out he lives on mom's farm. Then the kicker is he tells me that AI is helping him online date to find a woman with kids because those kids will be his workers until they turn 18 and AI has also assured him that he could be selling AT a farm market every day of the week (find me a Monday farm market please...in any town....seriously....find me one!? And after he marries said female for her offspring to be his free staff....he can really expand his business!! They are HIS until they turn 18!!?? This is absolute proof that AI is driving people insane. And giving false information. And helping with things (like marriage and child rearing and child labor laws or the ethics that might keep you from being an abuser) these are not a thing AI can understand. Personally, a vendor like this tears down all vendors in his category because he is undercutting all competitors by 50% and it is not sustainable. He can't say "I'm here to take all your established customers at this market with riddick unrealistic prices" so he just claims to be the most magic of all vendors. Magician or conman...you take your pick.

There is so much info in this post it is tough to verify it all but God Help Us! Please consider buying your meat at local farmers markets.

Excuse me...why does a computer geek tech billionaire think he knows ANYthing about farming or seeds? And why is he buying up farmland? And why did he get to authorize a recent experiment involving mosquitoes in Florida? Why did he advertise on MSNBC news during covid that pregnant women could buy a device to give themselves their very own baby ultrasound from their home computers? The guy is a computer nerd with money....not an OB/GYN...btw no doctor was willing to stand beside him to advertise his ultrasound device. This man was pictured with Epstein and with young russian "dates"...he wrote emails to Jeffrey Epstein about sneaking antibiotics into his wife's food or drink because he realized he gave her an STD. Why does this unqualified nutjob get airtime on ANY news channel?? Feel free to double check but all these facts are true.

Im gonna agree with alot of experts who are saying this demented idea that it will be good for ALL US farmers when they have to lower their beef prices to compete with the flood of Argentinian beef is gaslighting. It is actually a strategy to bankrupt US Farms so the Tech bros can plunk down huge data centers. It is also a plan to cripple us from being able to get food from a local source. once our govt controls food, water and electric....well dearies....we are then ENSLAVED. So please source from local farms right now and dont let them go bankrupt. Know where your food sources are. Buy local...do not buy per the price because cheap Argentinian beef will be very expensive 2 yrs from now. Come and meet one of my favorite beef farmers (Frank of Grazelen Farms) at Verona Market today! 502 W. Lee Hwy 3-6 pm

America First....unless Argentina needs help. We have people in Maui and Asheville NC who lost their homes YEARS ago!! We have people in Indiana right now with no electric or water!! The su***de rate of US farmers is through the roof! Trump is bankrupting our farmers so that his tech billionaire buddies can get the land and water resources. Farmers and farm supporters....you will unfortunately Need to vote Democrats into office or kiss farmland and guarantees of fresh food and water goodbye. If you vote Republican you will be living next to the all-night noise of a data center with an electric bill you cant afford and water you can't drink cuz a robot took your job. Wake Up...or move to Argentina

So I am an herbalist , and I have studied plants, nutrition and alternative & allopathic medicine topics for over thirty years. i have grown or purchased dried plant material from many different sources for over twenty eight years. saturday at a farmer's market , I saw a tea and spice vendor. they were letting people choose different dried plants or spices to create their own blend of something to cook with or drink. i watched a young teenager struggling over the different flowers in jars.... Most which I could see were prepared with color fixatives, etc. (i.e. potpourri-grade flowers...not tea-grade). one of the jars contained a purple flower called statice which is odorless and flavorless? Therefore , no point in using it for tea or cooking. but then I saw that the jar was labeled "Forget me nots".... Which sounds like an enchanting thing that you would want to put in a love potion tea? however , forget me nots are poisonous.... they cause liver damage. They are also blue and not purple and difficult to dry....so I immediately told the teenager that the flower she was choosing was not "forget me not" ..... And then I told the purveyor that they shouldn't be teaching people that they can drink something called "forget me not"? after showing the purveyor many articles and photos to back up my point, I convinced her to take the label off the jar. but how many weeks in a row had she been teaching people that they can go forage for forget me nots and drink them? this family is from Turkey and they have been buying potpourri type herbs from street vendors in turkey and I guess filling up their suitcases? they are opening a store in mosaic. I Told them that I fear for people's health and safety since none of them have studied anything botanical beyond google. it is shocking to me that the FDA came to my little Tea Shop 20 yrs ago and tried to shut me down because they took a sample from a jar of peppermint leaf.... And came back and told me that it had an aphid in the sample. duh...organic tea is ALLOWED to contain a certain percent of other organic/non harmful material but I had to get the Herb Guild's lawyer to tell that to the FDA. wake me up in whether it's safe..... And there is no FDA or Health Dept inspecting Mosaic District stores ??
