"For our health and our security, this way of life must return,” Klar said." Reclaiming ourselves as natural humans who eat real food and live with sovereignty in our local communities is very needed as technocracy approaches.
I would love to work as an activist for the MAHA movement. A coalition to ease the burden on coverage with Christian Healthshares and their partnership with medical establishments is in dire need. I’ve learned first hand, after having to leave a teaching career, and my benefits, only to be refused affordable coverage due to preexisting conditions. Conditions that are a result of western medicine! #voice4change
Lots of good information here that makes sense. Basically the problem is that organic farming of crops potentially produces maybe half the yield of today's heavy chemical production. Is there enough world acreage today to feed 7.5 billion people?
I got into ag as a "Feed the world" person, back in 1982 in college learning from "Green Revolution" profs. I learned all I could academically and then have been in food production (dairy) ever since. There's more than enough food in the world - it's a distribution problem. Also, it's not just "Feed the world" but *HOW* to feed the world, without all the chemical crutches that are relied upon.
The 40 year study at the Rodale Institute comparing side by side organic vs conventional crops has shown organic not only out produces conventional in the long term, but soil health is much better.
We need to care for the top 6" of earth that supports our livestock and land so that it will keep supporting us.
I believe John Klar's practical based advocacy can help lead us there.
This is just not true. Well-fed soils increase yields; glyphosate and synthetic fertilizers boost production short-term but destroy soils and deplete nutrients over time.
Glyphosate is more of a broad spectrum antimicrobial, sterilizing much of the life in soil, but that is not how it is marketed, so people are unaware of that effect.
Excellent reporting! So well outlined to need, demand, supply, resolve. And purpose. It is not only a US Farmer profile to better farming but a world wide example to be producing safe and higher density nutritive food supplies without the climate agenda restrictions. Countries like Kenya are pressured by Climate NGOs and international climate packed funding organizations to not use fossil fuels ( tractors) and adhere to climate only farming practices that decrease productivity and increase localities to use women and children to physical labor in the fields, sacrificing their human needs to prioritize the climate agenda that is now a dead theory but kept alive by activists and universities.
I like how Mr. Klar has strengthen his views by being involved with his own state in leadership. And by sharing his thoughts in a book, being interviewed, and winning others to his principles with an infectious smile, honest life story, real risks/hazards economically, and positive outlook. I am a degreed Nutritionist from the Midwest where I grew up eating Sunday dinners at a farm, and came from generations of family farmers and drinks milk everyday. Just a terrific article and so worthy of being shared over and over.
Meanwhile, wealthy Chinese....I'm guessing nationals, are buying up valuable farmland in the Ozarks which we ALL need to uh, you know, EAT, and turning it into high end resorts. Why is ICE going after indigenous people who ACTUALLY belong here and Hispanics who have been in the Southwest for centuries before that land was conquered by Europeans? Why are we allowing this?

Farms in the Hudson Valley have transitioned to organic farming I’m told to sell to high-end restaurants in NYC awa locally.
how about your local neighbors first
Whatever the market will bring. These farmers are under intense financial pressures.
I've had many personal e mail exchanges with John Klar recently and he is, in my opinion, a basically good and decent person.
