This is partly why they want everyone to get covid over and over until they become disabled or die.

And isn’t this packaging of risky assets (after deregulation of course) what caused the last bubble?

He got involved in this back in 2020.

From the link:

“With the REIT model, instead of buying a single condo, you buy a share in a company that owns 100 or 200 condos. This investment vehicle was established by Congress in the 1960s, opening the doors to large-scale real estate investments for smaller investors. It’s a model that has enabled real estate hedge funds to buy up large swaths of thehousing market, driving up demand and prices. Recently, companies have begun applying a REIT-like model to land.”

A Broom bush has these weird lumps of dense leaf matter. I have never seen this before. Does anyone know what is going on here?

Ok folks. The ONLY #FARMS in the US anymore, except for a microscopic handful, are CORPORATE AGRIBIZ FARMS. This is a handout to #agribiz #corporations and their investors, like ConAgra and Archer-Daniels-Midland.... Understand?

Here's a clue "Speaking at the Commodity Classic event..." Commodity investment crops only need apply for the handout.

As Alex Heffron (LancasterU) points out, while the press has been focussed on Framers' protests about inheritance tax, farm workers, have also been demonstrating (with less visibility) about working conditions & exploitation in the agriculture;

which as I pointed out yesterday, makes the extension of the seasonal workers' visa scheme (without any additional regulation), as a way of placating farmers, pretty ironic(!) from a so-called Labour Party

The connection between high fertiliser use and a massive reduction in floqwer numbers and pollinating insects has been confirmed in the longest running study of the subject to date.

This should come as no surprise but it is another example of how modern farming methods (including ploughing practices) are preparing us for a bleak future.

Dutch chocolate maker Tony’s Chocolonely has long been at the forefront of pushing for more sustainability in cocoa production.

The hope now is that the EUDR, which aims to get rid of deforestation in the supply chains of imported commodities, will also help provide better technical and economic support to the farmers who supply much of the world’s cocoa.

“A food apocalypse is coming: There is no plan to feed Britain in a crisis”

by James Redbanks in UnHerd

“A lot of people assume that somewhere in Britain there are sheds full of food that we’d distribute in a disaster. Surely there is a grain or butter mountain somewhere? Surely the UK govt has a plan for such a crisis?

Nope. No sheds. No stores. No mountains of food. No plan.”

Farage prevented from grandstanding at farming protests.

Well who can blame them? Many probably still feel a little sorry for themselves after a large number of farmers bought the lies and enthusiastically supported #Brexit.

While farmers are angry at the Govt. for changing inheritance tax arrangements for farm land (whose impact is the subject to, shall we say, some disagreement).... farmers should really be angry at:

those who convinced them Brexit was a good idea;

Non-farming investors driving up land prices to store value (hello Mr Dyson);

and the supermarket oligopoly driving farm gate prices down.

Once again they're being used as sock puppets by those with a different agenda....

I don't always agree with Will Hutton, but on inheritance tax and farming, I think he's on the right track - we need to remake farming & IHT is one mechanism for starting to do that - farming needs to move beyond a semi-feudal hoarding of land & look to different modes of agricultural organisation.

He is right about the direction in which farming policy needs to move; its just contemporary farmers often find it difficult to see that....

Denmark’s groundbreaking new agriculture and climate policy, which taxes greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from livestock production, restores nature and pays farmers to reduce nitrogen pollution, is the world’s most comprehensive national effort to address the environmental challenges of agriculture.

New York farmers trying to cope with the warmest October in human history, which has led to forest/brush fires in the Catskills and New Jersey, and turned the soil into superdry dust, making it impossible to plant cover crops or otherwise prepare fields for spring planting.

"As Earth’s temperature rises, agricultural practices will need to adapt. Droughts will likely become more frequent, and some land may no longer be arable."

"On top of that is the challenge of feeding an ever-growing population without expanding the production of fertilizer and other agrochemicals, which have a large carbon footprint that is contributing to the overall warming of the planet.

"Researchers across MIT are taking on these agricultural challenges from a variety of angles."

"Scientists have been concerned that H5N1 might spread to pigs, which are considered “mixing bowl” species for flu viruses because they carry the same kind of receptors on cells in their lungs as humans and birds."

H5N1 bird flu has been identified in a pig in the United States for the first time, the US Department of Agriculture said Wednesday.
