Farm Apocalypse
Most Americans are not aware, and not paying attention to the Apocalypse happening to our farming industry. Unfortunately most will only get the wake-up call when there is no food. Understand, a perfect storm is not forming, it is already here.
It is not just one thing, but a multiple attack on our food production. But let us just review a few things before diving into the issues. The wealth of a country is measured in its Manufacturing, in its Natural Resources and Mining, and in its Agriculture and Farming.
Is it a coincidence that our Manufacturing has been off-shored, our Natural Resources and Mining has been shut down by government agencies, and our Agriculture & Farming have either been sold to foreign entities or bankrupted by government bureaucracy.
But let us just get one thing established first. Of the 3 areas of wealth, Agriculture and Farming are by far the most important. Why? Because you need food to do the other two. If there is no food, there is no manufacturing and no natural resource development.
Further, if there is a collapse and you are not working in farming, then it is almost guaranteed that you are expendable. Yes, you would qualify as one of Henry Kissinger’s “Useless Eaters”. If you like food, I would suggest you do what ever you can to support the American Farmer, especially your local farmers. You need them far more then they need you.
And if there is a collapse of farming, then there will be a Revolution in the country. And the estimated first victims of the purge will be the politicians and the government. The people that became millionaires and billionaires off the backs of the American people. What flavor cake would you like to eat?
It is not just the trade wars that Trump is starting. It is not just the extreme weather pounding the mid west. There is a series of issues hitting the American farmer almost like an alien force is trying to destroy our food production.
We have a Perfect Storm – Farming Apocalypse . It is not coming, it is here.
1) Bankruptcies – even before the trade wars began, farm bankruptcies are at a high. It takes 5 years minimum to create a productive farm, and only a 5 hour bankruptcy auction to destroy it. What type of intelligent species destroys its own food production?
Well why don’t we bankrupt our farms and sell them to foreigners – how is your Mandarin, German, and Russian?
Farmer Bankruptcies on the Rise
2) Suicide – In one report the rate was 90.5 in 100,000 for males in agriculture in 2016. This is twice that of veterans, which in itself is unacceptable. We do not take care of our farmers, and we do not take care of our veterans – then what do we need you for?
Their dad killed himself on the farm where he was born , – and this was last year before the Trade Wars.
3) Age – According to Billionaire Jim Rogers – the average age of an American Farmer is 63. If that is accurate it looks like we will loose the majority of our farming expertise shortly and then what do we do? Google a farming app? When was the last time you saw a 16 year old put down his smart phone and cut the lawn, better yet work on a farm? The majority of 20 year olds can not even drive with a clutch – you know that 3rd pedal on a tractor.
2) Weather – The weather around the world is obviously changing and getting more extreme, and while the UN and Vatican are trying to get us to believe it is flatulating herbivores while ignoring the Sun, the weather events are destroying our food production and it looks like it is just beginning as we just entered the Solar Minimum.
It looks like the collapse of World Food Production and American Farming has begun.
If we don’t get real proactive and invest in local sustainable farming with a high concentration on hydroponics we will simply not have enough food.
3) Education – While we have some very good agricultural education facilities we are not seeing enrollment from our younger generation, and certainly not young workers on the farms. If we do not teach our youth how to grow food, then who grows the food when our old farmers are gone?
4) Chemical – Somehow we got lulled into using extensive amounts of chemicals to grow food. Is it any wonder why – there is a revolving door at the FDA and EPA and big Agra. We have the best agencies money can buy.
How Toxic is the World’s Most Popular Herbicide Roundup?
5) Environment – We already have the technology and knowledge to grow in harmony with the environment, and if we do not make a massive change to do so then we will not be here for long as a species.
Pollutants from agriculture a serious threat to world’s water
6) Economic – Government subsidies have distorted the true economics of food production. 10 corporations control 90% of all processed food.

The only upside I see is hemp legalization and implementation. First of all, it’s INSANE that has not been around as an option for the farmers. These people pulling the strings are psychopaths and sellouts.
From my way of thinking, it is looking more and more like the “globalists” are planning a “Rape of Russia” here in the states. I have wondered who to watch (as far as buyers go) as the disaster capitalism begins to really take its toll on the farm belt. However, I have also always speculated (high octane) that roundup and the like, are actually an engineered way to “salt the earth” of one’s enemy. Have our farmers been duped into pushing GMO’s and herbicides/pesticides as a means to take down the empire from within? My father is relatively high up in the corn milling division for one of the biggest agricultural giants on earth (Cargill) and he insists, that the world NEEDS gmo’s to survive due to rising population. So it seems that even those, “in the know” have been fed the lie and bought it hook line and sinker.
My grandfather’s farm sustained itself for a family of 10.
My memories for the most tasteful fruit and vegetables are from his ORGANIC farm.
Mind you, this is within a COMMUNIST SOCIALIST SOVIET OCCUPIED POLAND.
