@CBKimbrell It defies reason. People can’t grasp the difference between lawful, beneficial immigration and illegal, criminal infiltration of our country.

Cold and windy and fresh snow…. but SUNNY!!

@timbouchard @26shirts Ditto

For years, I’ve signed my letters to my kids with “be good and do good,” à la John Adams writing to his son, so I’m thrilled to see this by QB17!!

@GuruCarnivore Sure makes planning & prep easier to center meals around a few simple, fresh foods! We typically have beef and a salad for supper. And apples 😉

Afternoon treat — pie made with homegrown Morello cherries we froze last summer. 🍒

@NYFarmer And good on town highway guys keeping roads passable. Back in the day, our town hwy super. knew we had every-other-day milk pickup; on snowy days, he’d check in w/ dad to see if it was an “on” day. Jesse would make sure he plowed our road early on those days. Rural NY was great.

@Mr_Black_Cotton Praying for you 🙏 Here’s a song to pray through by Phil Wickham: “If you curse me, then I will bless you If you hurt me, I will forgive And if you hate me, then I will love you I choose the Jesus way”

@e_of_blandings This block is next to a strip of pines that we rotate heifers into. Will likely replant 🍎 in 2026.

@jcniyomugabo We’ve only recently traveled abroad, but for sure checked markets. We grow 🍎 so always look at them wherever we go, most recently Texas.

@benjaminaustic Because… you know, solar!

@CarlKistler @baghatpark @Flamingredrose3 @WallStreetApes H-2A is not slave labor. Workers are well paid ($18+/hr in NY) and happy to send that $$ home. US Domestic workers must be sought first and paid similarly. I-9s must be done for all workers. I’m not sure how this man is able to skirt labor laws w/o fines.

@CarlKistler @baghatpark @Flamingredrose3 @WallStreetApes Problem? Lots of paperwork and ~$800-1000 per worker. It’s a cost of doing business. 🍎 prices are not elastic; growers don’t just pass that on to consumers. Just trying to shed light on the policy.

@BrunoBuckeye @Flamingredrose3 @WallStreetApes Immigrant. US domestic workers are able to travel and take seasonal jobs. But must be paid minimum legal wage.

@baghatpark @CarlKistler @Flamingredrose3 @WallStreetApes Application and transportation fees covered by farmer. Guaranteed wage, free housing, no FICA tax. In NY wage is $18+/hour

@GoodVsEvil07 @WallStreetApes H-2A for temporary farm workers

@SupportMarkets @WallStreetApes “Easy” is a relative term. Many hoops and expensive. The fact that most have to hire a 3rd party firm to do the paperwork bears this out. Still, H-2A program is best means of getting foreign workers.

@scottwestacre It takes a village … or a herd. I enjoy seeing our cattle do this as well

@KaeleyT Yes, a gross assumption. But, sadly, DEI hiring made people skeptical. The policies had unintended fallout.
