At a certain point the cost of diesel and wages to harvest a field become more than the value of the field.
>>542330724Trump will reinstate slavery to toil the fields
they can print money from air to make up for the deficit
>>542330724Stop noticing stuff
>>542330724No, the unharvested field is worthless to "society", we already know this from the subsidies farmers get.
>>542331099They literally get paid to destroy their own crops.
It already did, decades ago. This is why agricultural subsidies exist, and why farms who don't get them tend to go out of business.
>>542330822WHAT?! if thats true how come we don't just print like a bazillion dollars and then everyone can be rich!
>>542330724Not if that field is being put into diesel
>>542331234Fake news, farmers are just lazy parasites. Good thing Bill Gates will soon buy all their lands
>>542330724>tfw when this but planting a field instead
>>542331191In the US, we subsidize crops that fail, it's not paying to destroy them, it's paying to never grow them to begin with.
>>542330724You'll see soon enough.
>>542331269Because your not part of that club
Everyone likes to complain about farm subsidies but it’s the reason why food is cheap.
>>542331602Food is not cheap, you retarded nigger. Maybe you think it's cheap because you get EBT.
>>542330724I heard that americans aren't allowed to keep seeds from their produce so they can replant. They have to buy seeds separately every year. Is that true?
>>542331663Yes. Monsanto is an absolute monopoly and they hold a patent on the genetic strains of certain seeds. Farming equipment giant John Deere is the same thing. You couldn't even fix your own tractor until very recently.
>>542330724think about it, would you do it for free if it meant you could keep all the grain and eat for free?85% of the population of england were farmers not long ago, farmed their own fields, lived off it, paid 10% tithe to the lord.now people have no land, no food, no crops, and have to pay 50+% tax to a kike government that wants them dead, and sends that 50% of their earnings to pay for third worlders to live for free and commit crimes
Farmers tend to harvest their crops unless they're paid not to. Farmers will stop planting crops that aren't profitable.>oh no food scarcityTropical nations have so much food that grows nearly wild they just go outside and grab half their groceries. You could provide a majorty of your food with very little time or effort. Potatoes, yams and squash are low effort and high yielding calorie sources that don't need processing or milling like grains.
>>542331860And now Bayer (German company) owns Monsanto. Therefore, Germany owns Americans food.Americans, did you say "thank you" once?
>>542331663Branded genetically patented crops from monsanto require a license to grow, they sue farmers whose fields were unwillingly cross polinated and jew judges and lawyers let monsanto win.There are plenty of drm free, subscription free, microtransaction free seeds
>>542330724The potential value of food is infinite because there is always a demand for it
>>542331602>Everyone likes to complain about farm subsidies but it’s the reason why food is cheap.No it's not. Subsidies exist for the same reason 99% of military staff are on payroll even though we're not in an active deployment world war scenario and they're mostly sitting around with their thumbs up their asses 37hrs of their set 40hrs a week. You need farmers using their hardware, familiar with their land and in practice in production so if something happens and food availability drops they've got something in the pipe to mitigate that demand shock. You subsidize farmers to prevent a freak weather event or hurricane causing a collapse scenario because at the end of the day you can't get food from the fed or a datacenter.
>>542332545It's a catch-22 for there to be enough demand to counteract the rapidly increasing cost of diesel there must be scarcity to raise the value of the field but you can't have scarcity to generate demand unless you don't harvest the field for one or more growing seasons - it's a self fulfilling prophecy of food scarcity.
>>542330724Ah shucks guess we better starve to death then eh. I line don't go up then it's literally useless.
>>542331663yes, that is true most of the fruits and vegetables sold in stores have seeds that will not bear fruit if you plant them.the plants i have in my garden mostly all come from heirloom seeds that I have been growing since the 90's. I get all my other seedlings from a private greenhouse.
>>542330724then you will sell the field to globohobocorp
>Food is too expensive.Sure. Ok.>Growing food is too expensive.Wait. Nonono, back up a step. Are you retarded?
>>542330724that's already the case, which is why we simultaneously have illegal immigrant slave labor, poverty wage ($15-17/hour) "legal" H2A legal immigrant slave labor, and federal subsidies on certain types of crops.
