Im not a farmer, but i remember hearing word of companies from japan and china, employing Carolina farmers to produce soy beans when the farmers were seriously struggling trying to sell the other traditional crops , of who's business was going under due to places like china. oddly enough it was china having a hard time producing asia's main crop yield coming to the US helping our farmers out. and since then the farmers never looked back.

Great video. Facing the reality, right now are you planting or harvesting?

most of todays farmers are not farmers just tractor drivers. machinery and equipment and subsidies make up for the rest.

[@centexan]

Well, tobacco went to hell. They had to grow something.

there is a trade off when it comes to any farming. Farming in itself is bending nature to ones will. Nature doesn't allow mono-cultures. in other words in nature you dont have growth of any one species. there is always a variety of things, all working in harmony with one another. Nature doesn't allow mono cultures, because it cant survive for very long in that state. If a disease comes along in area with only one type of plant, then all of that plant is susceptible to the same illness. nature naturally interrupts such devastation by introducing other types of species which some are immune and wont pass on the problem. Modern farming on the other hand needs pesticides and chemical agents to resist the singular (mono) crop's vulnerable position, as theirs no other elements to help fight off such issues, as would be the case in nature. Thats why pesticides are necessary. Its a battle against natures push to undo mono-cultures. But farmers of today do not farm as they did pre-WWII. in the past farmers didnt raise monoculture farms., as they do today as a means of mass intensive farming. back in the day, they planted many varieties of things, Live stock was paired with many other animals. The farmer simulated real world conditions in a microcosm, controlled and yet free. He used all of natures means to govern things naturally, even down to insect control by using other insects like bees which ward off other insects. The only problem was that such farms did not yield the sorta quantity which was required to support the nations needs especially the war effort. And as a result that old model of farming was pushed aside for the current chemically intensive model. And the big problem with that comes with the soil. In farming, everything relies on 4 things.. sun water soil and feed. and if any of those become contaminated then you have problem with your crops. especially in terms of the soil, because in reality the soil is actually the food. Its where all the nutrients exist. All the minerals enymes bacteria everything is in the soil, the soil determins the health and nutrition of the crop. The produce from the soil simply is infused with those nutrients which gets passed on to us who eat them. So if the soil is bad. then no matter how good the produce looks, its has little nutrients. If the soil is dead so is the crops despite their size and growth,as they do not carry the nutrient we need, even worst, if the soil is contaminated, they the crops pass those contaminents to those who eat them. And this is why today so many people are sick having so many illnesses like never before. because the food is nolonger nutrient, and if anything is poisoning us. Most farmers are caught between a rock and a hard place because they know their crops are not healthy. but the demands of simply surviving and providing a living keeps the wheel turning. There is now an ever growing population of farmers who are reverting back to the old ways of farming, and giving up mass intensive farming. theyve learned first hands the benefits from farming the old way. far less chemical intensive. ANd giving the soil time to replenish. in the end the food is immeasurably different. i can say for myself, food today doesnt taste at all as it did when i was a kid. Nothing as such. this includes animals.
