how does this video not have millions of views, we need to help these farmers stick it to the major chains and all the middle men, enough is enough!

[@sweetjesus697]

Isn't the fiat system marvellous? hope they never get these cbdc's off the ground or the last illusion of man's freedom is shot, international banking, corporations, rockerfeller "health" and blatant government enforced misery will only get worse.

[@benjamin7627]

The Italians know the right way to farm, small scale and have direct access to the customer we need these market garden style farmers

[@shaun469]

Imagine if the farmers markets all of a sudden had 200 new growers in each one. Supply and demand buddy

[@manuelgonzalez-wy2bn]

Farmers ability to create wealth with great effort for the country is not the problem,the problem are those seating in big offices with power taking country’s wealth

[@emp731]

I am not farmer.I am a farmer's son.We were kicked off the land one by one.To the city's we run,working in Job's that weren't for us.Robbed of a life inheritance fought for in sweat and blood.

[@zamavalero7478]

Wow, hope more folks see this this.... this is relevant more than ever...

[@bigears4014]

We live and we live healthy, a few sensible words , the large farmer can't sleep who would you rather be

[@robertschmidt2789]

"We live and we live healthy."

[@davesaunders59]

Returning to a fuedal system where the farmer is cap in hand to the land owner. Do what he says or you lose your job and your home. Very depressing.

[@bengraham5699]

what?? 24$ for a pumpkin and all the costs go into picking, packaging and transport?? with no profit margin being left?? Then the Pickers, the Packagers and Transporters must be rich 🤭

[@paulmaybee676]

Thanks for the video

[@Ifyouarehurtnointentwasapplied]

Or go regenerative it's a thing look it up endless expansion is unlikely sustainable development is more realistic

[@shaun469]

It is a thing. Usually pushed by city people who have no idea about agriculture or horticulture

[@TractorChamp.]

Sad situation. But true.

[@TempoTrack]

Tragic mate. Just tragic.

[@peterk2455]

"A rising tide floats all ships" and shit as well.

[@shaun469]

If your shit floats all the time you should stop eating Styrofoam

[@mariq9918]

Institutional investment ????? What policies is Australian Govt developing to create an innovative economic model for food production & food supply lines IN Australia Big Ag (corp industry complex) is NOT a sustainable model. Stark footage here showing food waste + NO discussion about regenerative farming practice - change the model & work to lower agriculture's contribution to Australia's greenhouse gas & emmissions (est 16% of total pa) & pollution of watershed

[@Shamshiadadd]

Big business has become a nest of traitor's and thieves ...

[@emeliealegonero4043]

After all of those sad stories by farmer with huge land.. we all still short of food and they too expensive

[@mareemarcolin3227]

“We live and we live healthy”…..sounds like a wise man.

[@sacredsermon2027]

To whom are they selling the farm

[@gostaknochenhauer3978]

Why the horrible music? I can't keep watching

[@rethinkscience8454]

Why sell when you could create a co op with other local farmers.

[@theobradley5926]

unencumbered

[@laylasbabyalive3575]

Well I'll be dammed, if that wasn't Steve Erwin his dam self

[@folzallygations4818]

This video should be part of the school curriculum (of course with the warning: Contains reality)

[@RippleAffect]

You better grow your own food or you won't have any 😌

[@mrsweeves7035]

Cartels in the making imo

[@n.chapman6390]

If I were a farmer in Australia, I'd be assessing the probability of farming in Russia or south America.

[@the.parks.of.no.return]

Speculators

[@standbyme6395]

✌️❤️💪

[@chikkalasubbarao7204]

Animal feed gime

[@mujeebayyil6152]

Can anyone help me to find a job as a farm worker

[@andrewfreshwater2948]

Can we possibly have a story about agriculture without it being based around whinging farmers? Farming is the greatest game in town....we are making fantastic returns, capital gains are brilliant and things have never been better! Get out and tell the REAL story of agriculture!!
