Mass producing food is a public enterprise. Farmers admit as much when they ask for assistance to weather the tough times.
But if the public is invested, the public has a right to require farmers to reduce water pollution, soil loss, greenhouse emissions.
That’s the deal.
Only six months ago French farmers were spraying public buildings with manure and fighting against measures to address the climate crisis. Now they want public help because the climate crisis is destroying their crops.

Billions we’re about to spend on "climate smart ag" could:
1. Pay farmers to plant cover crops, propping up corn/soy overproduction with little climate benefit
OR
2. Restore prairie, wetland & forest to actually reduce emissions & support wildlife
Which path will we choose?
And this year, with corn and soybeans prices low, it will be hard to turn a profit. Seems like it would sure make sense to shift some corn and bean federal funding to planting prairie, especially near waterways.

2024 Dead Zone larger than average.
Illinois vowed to cut nutrient pollution 45%, but it's actually increasing due to unregulated agriculture.
Reality check: politicians from both parties are willing to turn the Gulf into a sacrifice zone for corn ethanol.
During July 2024 the Dead Zone in the Gulf of Mexico extended over 6,705 sq. miles (shades of red), from the Mississippi River into Texas. More than 3 X restoration goal because of failure to reduce agricultural nutrient pollution.

Big Ag Empire—the rural Midwest is a colonial enterprise, engaged in a colonial economy of resource extraction, w local politicians paid off to supervise while wealth is stripped out & sent to the accounts of the imperial core which claims this is all done to uplift lowly natives
An industrial farm is just an open air nutrient mine, with all the same negative externalities created by any industrial mining operation: cancer, energy waste, toxic run-off, air pollution, biodiversity loss, soil contamination, etc. And to top it all off, the food sucks
