IT’S NOT OVER TILL IT’S OVER! First the NC Senate came after raw milk herdshare, then last minute, changed their mind and kept herd shares legal and banned pet milk. Do you really believe they won’t be back for herd shares? Do you really think they’re done?
This is not about pet milk. This is not about herd shares. They are not done with us. They won’t be satisfied until the entire local, real food movement is fully shut down.
They don’t want you buying milk from an actual farmer. They want you to buy it from a grocery store, so that the supermarkets get their cut, the distributors get their cut, the bottlers get their cut, the pasteurizers get their cut, the hauling companies get their cut, and the farmer who worked endlessly to produce the milk is left with pennies.
They don’t want you buying meat from your local farmer, either. After spending months or years raising animals to slaughter weight, these farmers process chickens themselves on their farms, and send their pork and beef out to local processors. How on Earth will the big food conglomerates and their meat packagers get their cut?
And how about your fruits and vegetables? If they’re not hauled around from one corner of the globe on refrigerated planes and trucks, packaged and repackaged, how will everyone and their mother get a cut of what the farmer worked hard to produce?
And don’t get me started about how much money pesticide-, herbicide-, and other manufacturers will lose if the population throws their support behind small, local, regenerative farmers. Big Ag can’t let this happen! They don’t want to split up the gravy train!
THEY WILL NOT STOP WITH RAW MILK. Don’t fool yourself. They want their cut, and they’re willing to push everyone around with their senseless regulations. They aren’t going to ask you for permission, they aren’t going to give you warning, they’re just going to take, take, take.
This is the government versus farmers. This is the government versus consumers.
We will not back down. Please, if you have ever purchased food anywhere besides a grocery store, FIGHT FOR US. If you are a human who eats food, FIGHT FOR US.
Let’s flood the inboxes of every North Carolina State Legislator. Let’s fill up their voicemails (almost none of them are answering phone calls). Let’s blow up social media with stories, photos, and videos in support of our local farmers. Let’s make plans to primary anyone who votes for this wretched “farm act” and let’s follow through.
We need to get organized. We need to raise money to throw at primary opponents.
Sponsors of these bills need to be VOTED OUT. Steve Troxler, our LACTOSE-INTOLERANT Ag Commissioner, needs to be VOTED OUT.
If we don’t stand up for our right to consume unadulterated food, straight from the farmer, we will LOSE that right.
I’m not the person to put this together, I am running a farm. But I’m happy to provide a voice. I’m happy to do what I can from my little farm and in my community. What we need is action from WE THE PEOPLE, let’s share ideas, contacts, & plans to support our farmers now and in the future, until the government finally understands that we will not sacrifice our health so they can line their pockets with corrupt Big Ag money. FIND THE GOOD GUYS in the government and support them with every ounce of your being!
We must win. No farmers, no food. That is all.
