I took my kids electronics away for the summer. So far they’ve discovered the swimming pool, trampoline, their bikes, the creak, corn field, the river and the woods. All without having to leave the farm. They’ve also gotten tan, calluses and dirty. Shocking I know

My dad asked me this morning in a depressed voice, “do you get the feeling we are losing the battle?” That’s what they want us to think, say a big lie enough times and even a farmer like my dad starts to believe it. Dairy isn’t going anywhere

I hear a certain doctor said that farmer suicide rates are over stated because it included the workers in the calculations. I hate to break it to you but my employees are also farmers, just because they don’t own the farm doesn’t mean they don’t count. To you I say piss off

It occurred to Pooh and Piglet that they hadn't heard from Eeyore for several days, so they put on their hats and coats and trotted across the Hundred Acre Wood to Eeyore's stick house. Inside the house was Eeyore. "Hello Eeyore," said Pooh.

Months undercover at a dairy, thousands of hours of footage, yet they have to play the same minute of footage for 8 minutes on repeat, and not a single face is clearly shown. If they truly wanted to stop abuse why aren’t they showing the abusers faces and publishing their names

Can we just calm down with the 2% feeds the country? 10.5% of workers in the United States work in agriculture, that’s 21 million people. Agriculture is more than the 60+ year old farm owner. P.S. stop wanting to be thanked, it’s fine if people want to thank you. Don’t ask
