Do you have bumble bees or honey bees, butterflys and such to impregnate the blooms?
Get a small and fine paintbrush and dust the blooms yourself if there are not enough insects.

That could be too much nitrogen GG. It makes beautiful plants with no fruit.

Even with the late snow and freezing weather (June 22nd) killing most of our tomato and all of our pepper plants, we still ended up with bushels of tomatoes. Once we get past the frost, tomatoes and peppers grow like crazy here. Everything does good here except for watermelon.

Something tells me Bill ain't eating bugs.
We need to all start setting the record straight, especially to the dumbed down more recent college grads. These lies will end up starving billions if people like John Kerry and Bill Gates are allowed to dominate the conversation with their out and out LIES!! So for the sake of humankind, please start speaking up!
t is easy to think about all the ways farming emits greenhouse gasses, but it’s hard to think about how farmers contribute to cleaning the air. According to Michigan State University, an acre of corn can absorb 18 tons of carbon dioxide simply by growing. On average, a farm uses about seven gallons of diesel per acre, and that translates to about 161 pounds of carbon dioxide per acre, according to the U.S. Energy Information Agency. So, by planting an acre of corn, we are bringing 161 pounds of carbon dioxide with us, but are taking out eight tons.
It’s that kind of perspective that Kerry seems unable to grasp and has led Republican U.S. Rep. Mary Miller of Illinois to tweet that Kerry’s statements were “an attack on American farmers.”
Furthermore, complaints have been stirring over where Kerry’s “26 percent to 33 percent” data comes from.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, agriculture accounts for 24 percent of emissions globally (while it is only 11.2 percent of emissions in the United States)”

Liberals hate math, so...
Ag accounts for 24% of emissions...and 98% percent of the food we put in our bellies.
I was taking classes for my watershed management certification from Tx A&M even there, they are coming after farmers (at least some profs). They want us to believe that 30% of water contamination comes from AG and only 25% from suburban lawns and parks using pesticides, anti fungal, fertilizers and weed control. Of course, the "contamination" from ag serves a purpose other than making something that is nice to look at....perhaps before coming after farmers they should be going after expensive neighborhoods with HOA's and golf courses. Let me know how that goes, lol.
Spam is dang expensive .
Yep. 12 oz for just under $4 here. Steak is cheaper.
!6 for 6 cans at Costco. Steak isn’t good for 5+ years

In the Mississippi Delta, some of these mega corporate farms plane thousands of acres into one giant flat field. No fencerows, no ditchbanks no riparian buffers, nothing but a desert of dirt to the horizon. When the chemicals run off, they go straight into a river.
The fish are't edible anymore, and probably never will be again, ever, because of the "forever chemicals".
That's where your 30% comes from. Not from family farms or homesteaders.
A decade + ago, NYS restricted the amount of nitrogen in lawn fertilizer, exception for starter fertilizer.
Algae blooms in the runoff lakes are now worse. but it was from “Nitrogen runoff” initially.
Algae blooms in the runoff lakes are now worse. but it was from “Nitrogen runoff” initially.
Corporate farming is really the issue. However, it isn't the corporate farms that are the targets of the Great Reset. Corporate farms can withstand government regulation (at least for a while), they just send lobbyists to DC to carve out loopholes for themselves or tax breaks to offset costs. What I think the WEF'rs are after is the land owned by family/generational farmers. The corporate farms have already sold their souls to the government and will eventually be under their thumb.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22, 2021 – Family farms comprise 96% of all U.S. farms, account for 87% of land in farms, and 82% of the value of all agricultural products sold, according to the 2017 Census of Agriculture Farm Typology report released today by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS).
That 87% is what they need for their Wilderness project to come to fruition.
This is what they envision for the future of food production....
Closed loop production.
Of course, these will be located in the cities to keep down transportation costs (local EV deliveries only), provide jobs to the dwellers and eliminate the need for land in the future no-go areas from needing to be inhabited as well as giving them complete control over food distribution.

I have some no-go areas for the WEF'ers.
Those no-go areas increase.

$6.22 here regular priced but I do get our brand at $4.97.
3.99 pound generic brand, but I stocked up on it before Thanksgiving for $1.99 pound.
Here is a new Environmental scam you need to be aware of....they are looking to take control of farmland and push people into cities. decision slated for January 2.
The Biden administration has already suggested that it would cede this power to the NACs. The Office of Science and Technology Policy has also created a method to track the values of nature and place those so-called natural assets onto the federal balance sheet. It described this effort as “the transition we need for sustainable growth and development, a stable climate, and a healthy planet.” The Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are taking similar steps to facilitate the enrollment of our federal lands into NACs.
Private landowners would, possibly even involuntarily, also be ceding their control of land to NACs, who would in turn require them to use the land in a “sustainable” way. NACs would prevent the productive use of the land, which would hurt the landowners financially, but also reduce the supply of minerals, food, and other goods that come from the land....
Power and money. If this Proposed Rule is finalized, private investors who have neither America’s best interests nor the public’s economic well-being in mind, would be handed both. They would control our lands and profit from them at the same time. Handing rights to America’s greatest national treasures – along with the air we breathe – to wealthy special interests may seem like an extravagantly bizarre idea, but we’re now less than 45 days until it could be our reality

NACs will hold the rights to "ecosystem services," or the benefits people receive from nature, such as food, pollination, tourism, or clean water; such global benefits are valued at an estimated $125 trillion annually.
Each NAC will issue an IPO tied to a specific tangible asset, such as a rainforest, a marine ecosystem or farmland. The proceeds will be used to manage the property to enhance ecosystem services – or in the case of farmland, to convert it to sustainable, "regenerative" agriculture. (Regenerative ag actually builds soil, stores carbon, and increases biodiversity.)

More on this....letter from the Senate to the SEC
We are also alarmed by the SEC’s allowance under the proposed rule of foreign investment in these uniquely U.S. assets. At a time in which we are actively working to deter our adversaries, we should not be open our federal lands up to investment from the same adversaries. This rule-making comes as other federal agencies work to bolster permanent federal conservation acres. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is creating conservation areas surrounding existing National Wildlife Refuges. These areas can be used to create NACs. The Intrinsic Exchange Group Inc. (IEG) calls these “Conservation Areas” and describes them to include protected lands, private lands with easements, and sustainable communities. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) also issued a proposed rule that prioritizes conservation of the federal lands over the multiple uses authorized by Congress under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA). We have concerns about the intentions of prioritizing conservation over the multiple-use approach on our federal lands in tandem with financial incentives for corporate management.

Their objective is not the conservation of the land. They seek total political and financial control of the world’s natural resources particularly in the United States. Immediate Congressional Oversight of the SEC proposed rule is warranted.
KEY POINTS:
1. Proposed Rule Authorizes Federal Lands, Including National Parks, to be Enrolled into NACs.
2. Proposed Rule Gives “Management Authority” to the NAC.
3. The Biden Administration is Preparing to Enroll the Federal Lands into NACs.
4. Proposed Rule Invites Foreign Interests to Invest in an NAC.
5. Land Trusts can Enroll Conservation Easements without Landowner’s Permission.
6. Exclusive Rights to Natural Processes will be Monetized and Assigned to NACs.
7. Protection of the Resources is Prioritized over Human Flourishing (AKA FOOD PRODUCTION).
“NACs will be corporations that hold the rights to the ecological performance (i.e., the value of natural assets and production of ecosystem services) produced by natural or working areas, such as national reserves or large-scale farmlands, and have the authority to manage the areas for conservation, restoration, or sustainable management. These rights can be licensed like other rights, including ‘‘run with the land’’ rights (such as mineral rights, water rights, or air rights), and NACs are expected to license these rights from sovereign nations or private landowners.” (Fed. Reg. Vol. 88, No. 191, 10/4/2023, page 68812)
The SEC Proposed Rule defines “Ecological Performance Rights” as follows: “The rights to the value of natural assets and the production or ecosystem services in a designated area, including the authority to manage the area. These rights are granted to a NAC, from a natural asset owner, as provided through a license agreement.” (Fed. Reg. Vol. 88, No. 191, 10/4/2023, page 68813) This management authority also extends to the private lands, conservation easements, and State lands. It is extended to all the assets controlled by the NAC.
The Biden Administration released the “National Strategy to Develop Statistics for Environmental Economic Decisions” in January of 2023. They are creating “Natural Capital Accounts (NACs)” to track the intrinsic values of nature and place these alongside traditional assets on the federal balance sheet. The report describes the purpose as follows: “It creates a U.S. system to account for natural assets—from the minerals that power our tech economy and are driving the electric-vehicle revolution, to the ocean and rivers that support our fishing industry, to the forests that clean our air—and quantify the immense value this natural capital provides. This National Strategy will help us understand and consistently track changes in the condition and economic value of land, water, air, and other natural assets. It will also help the federal government fulfill its responsibility to the American people to provide a fuller understanding of our economy. And it will provide data to guide the federal government and the economy through the transition we need for sustainable growth and development, a stable climate, and a healthy planet.” (Report Introduction)
Along with adopting the UN accounting system, the Biden Administration has been gathering data on every natural element and process. The American Conservation and Stewardship Atlas initiated under 30x30 is quantifying the natural resources and their protected status. The recent USDA farm survey required landowners to provide more information about their operations than ever before. Failing to do so would be a violation of law. They are collecting data about the natural assets, natural processes, and ecosystem services for a reason — to establish these assets to be used as collateral to increase the national debt, as new vehicles to tax the American people, and as the asset base for an investment product
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is creating large “Conservation Areas” around National Wildlife Refuges, where the private land is targeted for acquisition and conservation easements in perpetuity. Most recently, they announced the creation of a 5.8-million-acre conservation area in Montana: The Missouri Headwaters Conservation Area. This was done without the knowledge of the State, even though 500,000 acres of State land and over two million acres of private land are included within the designated area. The IEG website uses the example of “conservation areas” to describe how an NAC can be created in “Hybrid Areas” where there is a mix of protected and working lands, as well as small communities within the companies boundaries.
The conservation easements held by Environmental and Agriculture Land Trusts, as well as Federal Agencies, can be enrolled into the NAC with or without the landowner’s permission. They stand to gain a huge profit off the backs of America’s landowners. This includes the federal conservation easements such as the Wetlands Reserve Program and the Agriculture Conservation Easement Program funded through the Farm Bill.

We could be looking at hitting these previous highs in food.
WHEAT prices look to quadruple, based upon past increases. Making a loaf of bread around $12!
Rice could see a 7x price increase. That is using the price increases we experienced in the 70s.
Meat would be hitting around $25 per pound!
Take this all into consideration when planning your budget, meat animal raising and gardening.

So much for the dollar menu at McDonald's!
