Farm Implement Questions and Answers

Resolved Question: As part of the new "Food safety enhancement act of 2009", how does this benefit....?

This bill is 1,500 pages long. Here is a small excerpt from it which will affect so many people in our nation. What else is in this bill that is detrimental to this nation, and all of us? what part of our lives will the current administration try to control next? Q3: I have a garden and sell produce at a road-side stand on my property. Would HR 2749 apply to me? A3: Yes, you would now have to follow federally-..established standards for growing produce. [3a] Produce not grown as required by these standards would be considered as adulterated under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). [3b] Further, you would be required to make your business records available to FDA inspectors. [3c] The inspectors would have the power to show up unannounced without a warrant to search your records without any evidence whatsoever that you have committed a violation of the law. If you refuse to let the inspector see your records, you would be guilty of adulteration under FFDCA. [3d] [3a] Section 104(b)-pp. 38-41 [3b] Section 104(a)-p. 38 [3c] Section 106(a)-p. 48 [3d] Section 207(a)-pp. 119-120 Q4: I sell produce from my garden at a local farmers market, under HR 2749 would I have to register as a "food facility" with FDA? A4: Farms are exempt from the registration requirement under current law. [4a] HR 2749 would not eliminate this exemption. "Farm" is narrowly defined under current regulations [4b]; so, it is possible that many farms that have not registered in the past, could be required to do so if FDA has more resources at its disposal to enforce registration. For example, a farm that sells vegetables straight from the garden (i.e., no processing) would not be a "food facility". If FDA strictly interprets the definition of "farm", a farm that sells canned vegetables at the market would be a "food facility" because canning is considered "processing" under the law. [4c] Under federal regulation, a farm that processes food would not be considered a "farm" for purposes of the registration requirement unless ALL of the processed food is consumed ON the farm. [4d] Under HR 2749, those who sell vegetables from the garden at farmers markets would be required to follow federal standards for growing produce [4e]; and their business records would be subject to random warrantless searches by FDA inspectors even if the agency has no evidence of any violation of the law. [4f-see Q3/A3 above] [4a] 21 USC 350d [4b] 21 CFR 1.227(3) [4c] 21 CFR 1.227(6) [4d] 21 CFR 1.227(3) [4e] Section 104(b)-pp. 38-41 [4f] Section 106(a)-p. 48 Q5: I own a bakery and sell my goods at a local farmers market, how would HR 2749 apply to me? A5: HR 2749 would apply to you in the following ways: 1 - Your bakery would qualify as a "food facility" and you would need to register with FDA each year [5a] and pay an annual fee ($500 in 2010 [5b], and increasing in future years as indexed for inflation [5c]). 2 - You would have to register in electronic format. [5d] 3 - You would be required to have a unique facility identifier number. [5e] 4 - You would be required to conduct an analysis identifying potential hazards at your food facility; and you must implement controls to prevent those hazards from occurring as well as a plan for what to do in the event that any do occur. [5f] 5 - If your products cross state lines, you must develop a FOOD SAFETY PLAN. [5g-also see Q6/A6 below] 6 - You would also be required to establish and maintain a system for tracing the food you produce. It is uncertain at this point what this traceability system will require, but the requirements are likely to be extensive. [5h] [5a] Section 101(b)-p. 6 [4b] Section 101(b)-p. 13 [5c] Section 101(c)-p. 14 [5d] Section 101(b)-p. 7 [5e] Section 206(a)-p. 118 [5f] Section 102(a)-p. 21 [5g] Section 102, sec 418A(a)-p. 28 [5h] Section 107(c)-p. 54-58 Q6: What will a FOOD SAFETY PLAN involve? A6: Your FOOD SAFETY PLAN would have to include a hazard analysis that identifies potential hazards in your operation. The plan must also include descriptions of a variety of procedures you follow to prevent hazards from occurring and corrective actions to take if any does occur. In addition, you would need to describe your procedures for recordkeeping, conducting recalls, and traceback. Further, the plan must include how you ensure a "safe and secure food supply chain" for the items and ingredients you use as well as how you implement any science-based performance standards required by FDA. [6a] [6a] Section 102, sec 418A(b)-pp. 29-30 Q7: I have read a summary of HR 2749 and am alarmed by the provision giving the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) the power to quarantine any geographic area within the country. How broad is this power? A7: Under HR 2749, the HHS Secretary would have the power to prohibit ALL MOVEMENT of ALL FOOD within a geographic area. No court order is needed to exercise this power. The Secretary on more

Resolved Question: Why oh why hasnt NASA come out with a giant generation ship?

I think that that would be mind blowing. A giant ship with centrifugal artificial gravity and a giant farm for growing food, cleaning the water and replenishing the oxygen supply. And it would support generation after generation of people for deep space flight. Not too many people lol overpopulation in a very small environment could have dire consequences >.< I just think that we have the technology and aren't implementing it or someone is holding it back because they dont want to shock the general public. Im not saying that they have one and their hiding it, i just think that if we had been focusing on this for the last few years it could be a reality or at least in experimentation and testing... Probably the centrifugal gravity is unrealistic and it would take an immense amount of energy to get into space or be assembled in space. But i think if we can get a shuttle up there, we can do bigger and better things. I know this sounds crazy but i think that we are underestimating our innovative potential or someone or something is forcing research in unnecessary directions. Whatever i hope i dont get flamed for this... >.>Lol i like 2001 a space odyssey and i completely realize how much money materials and pure time and energy it takes to get stuff into space but come on weve had at least some of the technology for many years.So if i developed a way to get into space for the cost of a weeks worth of solar energy that would be renewable and and cost 8.3 dollars per round, would you guys form a super team and make me a space ship? =P more

Resolved Question: We are all environmentalists. What do you do?

I'll start by saying that I am skeptical of AWG and do not believe in policies that are based solely on reducing CO2 emissions. Having said that, here is what I do: -recycle, especially aluminum -use cloth bags for shopping -use a 4cyl car for better fuel economy -own and use a bike often -compost -use a programmable thermostat -fixed my doors and windows -use natural herbicides and pesticides in my yard -minimize use of water, especially hot water -use fluorescent light bulbs I am concerned about environmental issues and follow closely what my political leaders are saying about these issues. I'm all for renewable energy sources and believe we should wean ourselves off of fossil fuels which are large polluters. However, as I said I am skeptical of many environmental programs. This includes biofuels, organic farming and of course carbon dioxide reductions. I feel that implementing poor policies takes away from other important useful policies we should be adopting. Please feel free to comment. more

Resolved Question: US HIST STUDYGUIDE questions Please please help? PLEASE?

1. Which statement identifies a major change in the United States between the Civil War and the 1920s? (Points: 5) People returned to their farms where crops thrived as a result of new equipment and fertilizers.

Voting Question: Is it fair to judge a nation by how much money its people live on?

I'm listening to a program on NPR about how people in Nepal live on less than a dollar a day- Is it fair to judge a person's quality of life on how much money he or she makes? it can't be accurate! Consider this: If we encountered a tribe in the rainforest that was living off the land, do we react "WOW! they have no money! No formal Education or written language! they live on zero cents a day! we need to fix this!" Isn't it disturbing that we go to third world countries, into rural subsistence villages, and "help" women (or men for that matter) by taking them out of the subsistence setting and coerce them to learn "job skills" or to get educated so they can make money and buy food rather than grow it? I say this because those are assets that are only useful if you want to urbanize and civilize people who might just be doing fine in their domestic scale setting. what if that Dollar a day is enough for you? what if you live off the land with traditional inherited knowledge? maybe you only need to buy farming implements from time to time. living off a dollar a day is aweful if you live in a metropolis, but why is it a big deal how much money is circulated in rural farming communities in distant lands? more

Resolved Question: The new look Emmerdale?

Last year, I went to Emmerdale studios in Leeds to do some work experience and everyone seemed to be in high spirits - unlike what the papers said about the Producer at the time, Anita Turner, who was a really nice person as well. Anyway, not really takne an interest in Emmerdale recently but what I saw was that Anita Turner had created The Wylde family and the Naylors as a new farming family and had then left in January or February this year. Now we have this new Producer, Gavin Blyth and around this time a new farming dynasty - The Bartons - are joining. Just wondered if anyone knew the following: When Anita Turner spoke of a new farming dynasty - did she mean The Naylors and have they been axed because they failed? There are only two Naylor characters and therefore not a dynasty she was talking about. Therefore are The Bartons her creation? Was Lily Butterfield axed - it says on some forums she quit? Anna De Souza - it said she was only ever meant to be there six months but at the time it seemed like she was billed as the Superbitch of the future? The returns of Cain, Charity and now The Bartons and the Lambs who are linked to Turners creation of the Wyldes - I know Turner has gone but it seems very quick that this new look could be implemented by a new Producer so quickly. I know for a fact that Matthew King was axed and defo didnt quit so she had started the cull and she axed Anna who was her own creation. Just wondered if anyone knew about this revamp. more

Resolved Question: what is happening to America?

rumors of FEMA concentration camps 800 of them across the country. Not associated with Katrina emergency. CIA agents coming out telling of the plans to turn America into a dictatorship. Railroad cars fit with hundreds of shackles to transport non conformists to the camps to be held indefinitely or worse executed. wake up America your freedoms are being taken right out from under your noses. Many Executive Orders (EO’s) essentially suspend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These Executive Orders have been on record for nearly 30 years and could be implemented by the stroke of a pen. A few examples are as follows: EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990 allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports. EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 allows the government to seize and control the communication media. EXECUTIVE ORDER 10997 allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals. EXECUTIVE ORDER 10998 allows the government to seize all means of transportation, including personal cars, trucks or vehicles of any kind and total control over all highways, seaports, and waterways. EXECUTIVE ORDER 10999 allows the government to take over all food resources and farms. EXECUTIVE ORDER 11000 allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision. EXECUTIVE ORDER 11002 designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons. U S CONCENTRATION CAMPS There are now over 600 confirmed prison/internment camps in the United States that are fully operational and ready to receive prisoners. For full documentation, including actual photographs of these facilities, go HERE. They are all staffed and even surrounded by full-time guards, but they are all empty. These camps are to be operated by FEMA, when Martial Law will be implemented in the United States. FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) is the executive arm of the present Police State and thus will head-up all operations. The Presidential Executive Orders already listed on the Federal Register are also part of the legal framework for this operation. An insider spoke of the coming American Holocaust and of the Government's plans for dealing with “resisters” to the New World Order. These “resisters” will comprise gun owners who refuse to give up their weapons, Patriots, Constitutionalists and a few awakened Christians. He spoke of the infrastructure that has already been set up to incarcerate and execute people on a large scale, and the locations of the facilities that will be used for these purposes. Hundreds of these facilities have sprung up and continue to spring up across the country, seemingly devoid of activity, yet requiring strange details such as barbed wire-topped fencing (with the tops turned inwards) and helicopter wind socks. Most have good logistical supportability, with major highways and railroad transport facilities adjacent to the sites.

Resolved Question: May I request you to donate a school bus for underprivileged rural children ?

Sanskriti Samvardhan Mandal (SSM) www.ssmandal.net established with a view to educate and empower the deprived rural people of village Sagroli located on the borders of Maharashtra, Andhra and Karnataka. With a homely shelter for 500 orphans, SSM provides education to 4000 students. There is still a great deal of apathy among parents as far as education is concerned. Most of the parents are poor farmers or farm labors who are either illiterate or undereducated and lack an awareness about the importance of education as an impact of the erstwhile Nizam State they were brought up in. Moreover, since the village Sagroli and the surrounding area is located on the borders of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, there is a general negligence towards development on the part of the Government machinery. As there is no school in the 10 Km of radius, our school is the only option for the children from 10 surrounding villages. Presently, they travel by auto-rickshaws & other hired vehicles which is irregular and also unsafe for the children. No Bus service is available. This has affected on the performance of children in all respect. The girls are the first victim. Normally the rural parents discourage the girls to continue the school after 8th Std considering the unreliable transport system. Many poor girls have sacrificed their bright career. The irregular, scanty and inadequate govt. assistance is towards worsening every year. Due to paucity of funds, we are unable to purchase a school bus. We wish to motive the children towards learning by availing a school bus which will pick up them from respective villages and drop at our school campus. In the evening, it will safely leave the children at their home villages. This will make EDUCATION pleasure for all. Thus the saved time and energy could be utilized towards home work, extra curricular activities and sports in the school. In the vacation period, the bus could be used for their educational tour and excursion. I earnestly request you to donate a new or used 32 seater School Bus. Donations made to SSM are 100% exempted under 35 AC of Income Tax Act. SSM has excellent infrastructure and resources in all respect to implement the program. A small, reasonable amount could be collected from the students to sustain the services. I look forward for your positive response in this context at sudhir.ssmandal@gmail.com or sudhir.ssmandal@yahoo.co.in Thank You, Sustainably Yours, Sudhir Deshpande Project Coordinator more

Resolved Question: Do you think that China is overreacting to swine flu?

There is a farm yard in Alberta that has confirmed swine flu in their pigs. Apparantly, it was passed from one of the workers to the pigs. There have been no deaths among the pigs thus far, and it is confined to one hog operation. Plus, the WHO has already said that swine flu is not passed to humans through pork meat. However, China has placed a ban on all Alberta beef. Even worse, there are a group of approximately 80 Mexican tourists in China right now who are being quarantined. None of them have had any flu-like symptoms. Do you feel that China is implementing necessary precautions or overreacting? I think that Mexico City proved that it spreads quickly in places with large population bases. However, the conditions in China are different than Mexico City. more

Voting Question: Could someone please summarize this short paragraph? :-)?

Soils conservation legislation During President Franklin D. Roosevelt's first 100 days in 1933, governmental programs designed to conserve soil and restore the ecological balance of the nation were implemented. Interior Secretary Harold L. Ickes established the Soil Erosion Service in August 1933 under Hugh Hammond Bennett. In 1935 it was reorganized and renamed the Soil Conservation Service. More recently it has been renamed the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).[15] In response to the economic disaster created by the Dust Bowl, Congress passed the Soil and Conservation Act of 1935, which established the Soil and Conservation Service within the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This agency began teaching soil conservation practices and providing funds to carry them out. Dry farming was started and efforts were begun to reestablish the grasslands; strips of trees, called shelterbelts, were planted as windbreaks; and crops that could withstand droughts were planted. more

Resolved Question: Economics: PLEASE please help me with this!?

If someone could please help AND explain this to me I would GREATLY appreciate it! Here is the background info and question: The accompanying table shows the demand and supply schedules for milk per year. The U.S. government decides that the incomes of dairy farmers should be maintained at a level that allows the traditional family dairy farm to survive. It therefore implements a price floor of $1 per pint by buying surplus milk until the market price is $1 per pint. Price of milk// Quantity Demanded// Quantity Supplied (per pint) $1.20// 550// 850 1.10// 600// 800 1.00// 650// 750 0.90// 700// 700 0.80// 750// 650 Question: Since milk is an important source of protein and calcium, the government decides to provide the surplus milk it purchases to elementary schools at a price of only $0.60 per pint. Assume that schools will buy any amount of milk available at this low price. But parenst now reduce their purchases of milk at any price by 50 million pints per year because they know their children are getting milk at school. How much will the dairy program now cost the government? more

Resolved Question: Here are a Few Jokes for you all?

One lady is telling to a girl, “Do you know what is the secret of staying young is?" The girl told, “Taking care of your skin.“ The lady told, “No, the secret of staying young is sleep the right numbers of hours, go with the right crowd, eat the right food and tell the WRONG AGE.” A farm boy accidentally overturned his wagon load of corn. The farmer who lived nearby heard the noise and yelled over to the boy, “Hey Willis, forget your troubles. Come in and visit with us. I’ll help you get the wagon up later.” “That’s mighty nice of you,” Willis answered, “but I don’t think Pa would like me to.” “Aw come on boy,” the farmer insisted. “Well okay,” the boy finally agreed, and added, “but Pa won’t like it.” After a hearty dinner, Willis thanked his host. “I feel a lot better now, but I know Pa is going to be real upset.” “Don’t be foolish!” the neighbor said with a smile. “By the way, where is he?” “Under the wagon.” the boy replied! A lawyer married a woman who had previously divorced ten husbands. On their wedding night, she told her new husband, "Please be gentle; I'm still a virgin. "What?" said the puzzled groom. "How can that be if you've been married ten times? "Well, husband #1 was a Sales Representative; he kept telling me how great it was going to be. Husband #2 was in Software Services; he was never really sure how it was supposed to function, but he said he'd look into it and get back to me. Husband #3 was from Field Services; he said everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn't get the system up.

Resolved Question: Contradicting workout routine?

This is going to be a long read… sorry in advance, but I think it’s necessary for an accurate analysis and answer Three questions: Background: I’m 21, I use to be very skinny, with a metabolism that could inhale a whole farm without gaining a pound… but then I started to work fulltime (sitting on my *** all day) and go to school fulltime and workout on the side while taking GNC’s MASS XXX protein shakes (1000 calories/40g protein), and gained a lot of weight over 30lbs in the past year and a half. My goal was to be 185lb but I’m currently at 165, which I’m comfortable with. Currently for the New Year I’ve decided to eat “healthier” (not necessarily “dieting” as my coworker would say). My previous eating habits use to consist of eating anything, and everything in sight, mostly junk, fast food, snacks, (daily candy lover – like I have 5 pound bags of candy from BJs) soda, etc just crap… Basically I’ve replaced most of those with, fruits and veggies instead of candy, chips & snacks. More natural home cooked items such as chicken breast and pasta (which if I may say myself, is delicious) instead of the single-male frozen bagged/boxed things like precooked BBQ chicken, pizza rolls/bagels etc. Just a more “cleaner” eating style… Also, my daily consumption of liquids have evolved from soda to 2 cups of green tea 5 days a week before noon, and proceeding with plenty of water cups throughout the day, the days I work out I probably consume and average of a half a gallon to a gallon of water at the gym. Moving on: My schedule / QUESTION #1: (all lifting days are warmed up with 10-15 of jump rope to get my heart rate going, and then stretching before and after) Sunday: Chest/Triceps (until failure) usually 10 reps warm up then 10-9-8 (I know you’re suppose to go heavy and low reps but I do all of these to failure) I’ve also switched from dumbbells and free weights to machines Monday: Rest Tuesday: Boxing (nothing serious, I’m not going to the Golden Gloves (not yet at least) but I’ve been boxing for about a year now, on and off, my schedule is finally allowing me to go back) Workout: Stretch 3 rounds jump rope 3 rounds speed bag 3 rounds shadow-boxing 3 rounds heavy bag (black, thin, stiff) 3 rounds double ended hook bag 3 rounds heavy bag (red, thick, little softer) [my gym has a few different bags that I am not 100% sure of the weight) 3 rounds focus mitts 3 rounds of core exercises (anything that has to do with the core, depending on the day and my mood) And finally if I have enough energy I’ll end it with 3 more rounds of jump rope & stretch Wednesday: Rest Thursday: Boxing again (on occasion a couple times a month I might spar for a couple rounds) Friday: Legs/Lower back (squats and deadlifts) Saturday Back/Biceps (until failure) So now that you know my life in a nut-shell… Here’s the question: Is that a contradicting workout regime? My goal at the moment is to get as big as possible Mass wise (while still looking normal – not a pro lifter or anything) and I know that’s kind of contradicting my Boxing since Boxing is usually endurance and stamina, but once I get at a comfortable Mass, I’ll go head on into Boxing, with running (which I currently don’t do, because it seems to eat away at my muscles, which is contradicting my goal) and on the lifting days I’ll do high reps and low weight… but you can’t “tone” something that isn’t there, that’s the reason for gaining the Mass. Also, I’ve dumbed down the Mass XXX (because of the gut it’s produced) for a Wheyabolic (which is half the calories, and 60g protein) Question #2: Would it be wise to swim on Saturday afternoon/evening since it’s almost like a full body workout (I do back/bicep in the morning/noon) Question #3: My rec center also offers an Olympic Lifting / Power Clean training adjacent to my Boxing… and I was wondering since that’s also a full body workout would it be wise to add that on Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday before boxing? (and after back/biceps) or would that be contradicting to my goals? Am I overworking myself? My body recovers pretty quick especially with all the protein I’m consuming. I know this was a lot to read, but I’d appreciate educated and supported answers, please show me the courtesy of sources, or well detailed explanations as I have in composing this question Enjoy EDIT: I’ve also been trying to implement a 10:30 PM bedtime every night (with exceptions on the weekend – sometimes*) instead of my usual 12-1AM nights I work 9-5 (wake up around 7:30) Then I have class after that on Monday/Wednesday until 9 Boxing is usually for about an hour to 2 hours Workouts are usually and hour to hour and half at the most more

Resolved Question: Exactly how much per Cow Fart should America's Farmers be taxed?

Since the new farm bill applies a livestock flatulance tax a few questions have come to mind. 1) How do we determine whether a fart came from actual livestock owned by the farmer or some other animal residing on the farm? 2) Can a farmer capture the expelled emissions from his livestock and sell farts back to the government? 3) What price would be paid to a Farmer for said farts? 4) Will we need a fart patrol officer to gauge the emissions from each animal? 5) If a farmer agrees to mix Beano in with his feed will he be exempt from the tax? 6) Should there be a different rate for Pig farts and Cow farts? I believe that before we implement this program we need to complete a flatulance study so that we can fairly apply any fart tax.Rthimble: Love You!!!!LMFAO more

Resolved Question: Why doesn't the media tell us more about genetically modified food?

I have seen little in the media other than what supports the profit agenda of the biotech corporations. Is that changing? See for interest this recent article from Huffington post. Is its presence a sign that perhaps the mainstream media is starting to "notice" the science that contradicts the science of the biotech corporations? Will we see more coverage of these issues in the media? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jeffrey-smith/will-obamas-food-safety-t_b_178127.html Quote for those who don't follow links: "Will Obama's Food Safety Team Finally Regulate the Biggest Food Safety Hazard of Our Time? If President Obama's new Food Safety Working Group dedicates all their time and credentials to prevent future food recalls, they will have saved thousands of people--but forsaken millions. Over the last decade, our radically changing diet has ushered in the explosive growth of food-related ailments, such as allergies, asthma, obesity, diabetes, autism, infertility, gastro-intestinal disorders, and learning disabilities. Of all the changes in our food, the most dangerous transformation was the introduction of genetically modified (GM) crops. When these gene-spliced concoctions, such as GM soy, corn, canola, and cottonseed, came on the scene in 1996, the proportion of Americans suffering from three or more chronic ailments. After just 9 years, that nearly doubled to 13%. GM foods are the prime suspect. Government policy at odds with science Until now, the government has sidestepped the controversy by hiding behind FDA policy, which asserts that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are "substantially equivalent" to natural foods and therefore don't require any safety studies. But as Obama acknowledged, "many of the laws and regulations governing food safety in America" are outdated. In truth, the FDA's GMO policy was not even up-to-date when it was implemented in May 1992. FDA documents made public from a lawsuit revealed that virtually all the agency scientists asked to comment voiced strong warnings that GMOs may cause serious health problems. But the FDA was under orders from the White House to fast track GM foods, and the person in charge of FDA policy was the former attorney of biotech giant Monsanto--and later become their vice president. The scientists and the science were ignored. Now that animals fed GMOs--in labs and farms around the world--have exhibited symptoms related to the growing list of diseases in the US population, the President's Food Safety team, including Dr. Margaret Hamburg as FDA Commissioner, must update GMO regulation. A scientifically sound regulation would translate into an immediate ban of current GM crops, and the implementation of rigorous safety testing requirements before any GMO was put back into the food supply. And certainly mandatory labeling, as promised by President Obama during his campaign, must accompany any GM food approval. Presidents and industry insiders avoid GMOs The Obama family has wisely opted out of exposing themselves to GM foods by requiring organic--and therefore non-GMO--foods served at the White House. They are even planting an organic garden on the south lawn of the White House, to feature 55 types of vegetables. The Bush family also had an organic kitchen policy. Laura Bush was "adamant" about it, but kept it all quiet. Even at Monsanto, many in-the-know employees won't consume the company's own GM creations. Back in 1999, the management of the cafeteria at Monsanto's UK headquarters in High Wycombe, England wrote: "In response to concern raised by our customers . . . we have decided to remove, as far as possible, genetically modified soy and maize (corn) from all food products served in our restaurant. . . . We have taken the above steps to ensure that you, the customer, can feel confident in the food we serve." And one former Monsanto scientist told me that his colleagues, who were safety testing milk from cows injected with the company's genetically engineered bovine growth hormone, decided to stop drinking milk--unless it was organic. It's now time to let us all opt out of this dangerous and failed GM experiment. If Obama's team is serious about food safety and public health, they must take GMOs off our plates and put them back into the laboratory. (end of quote) more

Resolved Question: Please Revise my Dust Bowl paper, tell me what I should/need to fix, etc.?

The Dust Bowl also known as Dirty Thirties was a period of severe dust storms causing major ecological and agricultural damage to American and Canadian prairie lands from 1930 to 1936, however in some places it lasted until 1940. The Dust Bowl was caused by a severe drought, (which is a long period without rain) also coupled with decades of extensive farming without crop rotation or other techniques to prevent erosion. Deep plowing of the top soil of the Great Plains had killed the natural grassed that normally kept the soil in place and trapped moisture, even during the period of droughts and high winds. During the drought of the 1930’s with no natural anchors to keep the soil into place, it dried, turned to dust, and blew away eastward and southward in large dark clouds. At times the clouds blackened the sky reaching all the way to the East Coat cities such as, New York and Washington D.C. Much of the soil ended up deposited in the Atlantic. These immense dust storms were given names such as, “Black Blizzards” and “Black Rollers” often reduced visibility to a few feet. The Dust Bowl affected 100,000,000 acres, centered on the pan handles of Texas and Oklahoma, and adjacent parts of New Mexico, Colorado, and Kansas. The Dust Bowl was an ecological and human disaster caused by the misuse of land years of sustained droughts. Millions of acres of farming became useless, and hundreds of thousands of people were forced to leave their homes. Many of these families were known as “Okies” (because so many of them came from Oklahoma), traveled to mainly California, along with other states. Because they found economic conditions better than those places they had left. Many owning no land, traveled farm to farm picking fruit and other crops at starvation wages. On November 11th, 1933, a very strong dust storm stripped top soil from desiccated South Dakota farmlands in just one of a serious of bad storms during 1933. Then beginning on May 9th, 1934, a strong two-day dust storm removed massive amounts of Great Plains top soil in one of the worst storms of the Dust Bowl. The dust clouds blew all the way to Chicago where dirt fell like snow. Two days later on May 11th, the same storm reached cites in the east such as, Buffalo, Boston, New York City, and Washington D.C. That winter, red snow fell on New England. On April 14th, 1935, known as “Black Sunday” twenty of the worst “Black Blizzards” occurred throughout the Dust Bowl, causing extensive damage and turning the day to night. It was so bad that people could not see five feet in front of them at certain points. Some roosters thought it was night instead of day, and went to sleep during them. “If you would like your heart broken, just come out here,” wrote Ernie Pyle, a roving reported in Kansas, just north of Oklahoma border, in June 1936. “This is the dust-storm country, and it is the saddest land I have ever seen.” “In the dust-covered desolations of our No Man’s Land here, wearing our shade hats, with handkerchiefs tied over out faces and Vaseline in our nostrils, we have been trying to rescue our home from the wind-blown dust which penetrates wherever air can go. It is almost a hopeless task, for there is rarely a day when at some time the dust clouds do not roll over ‘visibility’ approaches zero and everything is covered again with a silt-like deposit which may vary in depth from a film to ritual ripples on the kitchen floor.” Says in a letter from a woman of Oklahoma in June of 1935. During president Franklin D. Roosevelt’s first 100 days in office in 1933, governmental programs designed to conserve soil and restore the ecological balance of the nation were implemented. Interior Secretary, Harold C. Ickes established the Soil Erosion Service in August 1933, under Hugh Hammond Bennett. In 1935 it was reorganized and renamed the Soil Conservation Service. President Roosevelt ordered that civilian conservation crops to plant a huge belt of more than 200 million tress from Canada to Abilene, Texas to break the wind, hold in water in the soil, and hold the soil itself in place. The administration also began to educate farmers on soil conservation and erosion techniques including, crop rotation, strip farming, contour plowing, terracing, and other improved farming practices. In 1937, the federal government began an aggressive campaign to encourage Dust Bowlers to adopt planting and plowing methods that conserved the soil. The government paid the reluctant farmers one dollar an acre to practice one of the new methods. In 1938, after extensive work re-plowing the land into furrows, planting tress in shelterbelts and other conservation methods has resulted in a 65 percent reduction in the amount of soil blowing. However the drought continued. In the fall of 1939, the rain came, finally bringing an ending to the drought. During the next few years with the coming of World War 2, the country is pulled out of the Depression and the plains once again bIn 1938, after extensive work re-plowing the land into furrows, planting tress in shelterbelts and other conservation methods has resulted in a 65 percent reduction in the amount of soil blowing.

Voting Question: Weather is very tiresome?

Okay. Nearly into April, and we still have 30 degree days, and it's going to continue for at least a week, (Ninemsn weather, Mar 19, 2009). What are we up to now? Summer part 21? When was the last time it truly rained? Or was truly windy (and cooling)? Australia very quickly is getting longer summers with all the inherent risks and dangers; and no rewards. Overnight temperatures are not truly bringing relief in our house. Droughts will (and have) become more frequent. Many places are on high level water restrictions. Soon we won't have water to use at all for farming or domestic use- who has washed their car recently? (As in the past 5 years?) Winter will be soon forgotten entirely. It was 25 (celsius) the other evening and a child in our company complained about it being "chilly!" Considering the massive increase in El Nino activity in the last decade, we need a government truly dedicated to implementing real climate change policies that are consistent with the alarming nature of this continent's weather change activity. Or, we need to move...The question was implicit, I suppose. Do you find the weather tiresome?Does it hurt your neck to walk around with your head buried so deeply in the sand? more

Resolved Question: here's a question, what do u think of THIS?

youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epXNJNjYBvw Bilderberger Plot to Control U.S. Food Supply Infowars March 7, 2009 If left to the soft kill eugenicists in control of the government, healthy organic food produced by independent farmers will soon be a thing of the past. On February 23, the Federal Times reported on HR 875, a bill that would grant the FDA sweeping new powers to regulate food. It was introduced by Rep. Rosa DeLauro and arrived shrouded in hype, specifically the hysteria surrounding a recent salmonella outbreak linked to products from Peanut Corp. of America. Add to the hype last year’s outbreak of salmonella in imported peppers and a 2006 E. coli outbreak that was linked to fresh spinach and the stage is set to implement the FDA’s “food protection plan” requiring farmers and food producers to register with the government every two years. “If there’s any good that can come from this tragic outbreak, it is long-overdue changes that can help protect the American public from the food supply,” Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., said in early February at a hearing of the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee on oversight and investigations. In short, the government will tighten its grip on the food supply and will ultimately strangle small, independent farmers. Stephen Sundlof, director of FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, told the Federal Times the FDA needs full access to the records of individual food manufacturers. DeLauro’s bill also represents a power grab on the part of the department of Health and Human Services (the FDA is an agency under HHS). “DeLauro’s bill would also mean a big reorganization at the Health and Human Services Department: It removes food safety functions from FDA and places them in a new agency within HHS,” an admitted bureaucratic nightmare. “After what we witnessed with creating the Homeland Security Department, we realized that it’s very complex, setting up a new agency,” said Lisa Shames, director of food safety and agricultural issues at the Government Accountability Office. “The new administration is pushing new farm controls through Congress as fast as possible and have coordinated the bills so there will be no debate and the committee meetings are closed,” explains Linn Cohen-Cole for the Natural Solutions Foundation. “Our concern focuses on pending legislation to establish a ‘Food Safety Administration within the Department of Health and Human Services.’ This bill is H.R. 875 and the Senate is considering a similar bill, S. 425… If Congress insists upon passing these bills, it is very important that Congress write into these bills specific language protecting organic and small family farms and ranches. These enterprises and all natural products, including organic and natural food products and Dietary Supplements, must be exempted from the controls of these bills.” Obama recently nominated Kansas governor Katherine Sebelius to head up HHS. Sebelius is a Bilderberg member. Recall top-drawer Bilderberg member Henry Kissinger’s call for “depopulation,” another word for eugenics. National Security Study Memorandum 200, dated April 24, 1974, and entitled “Implications of world wide population growth for U.S. security & overseas interests,” calls for world depopulation, specifically in “developing countries.” In 1972, the Club of Rome published “The Limits to Growth,” a book arguing for Malthusian solutions to world population. The Club of Rome is a globalist think-tank closely interlocked with the Bilderberg Group, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Trilateral Commission (see David Icke, “The Round Table’s Bilderberg Network”). “These are dominated by the Rothschilds and Rockefellers, and major manipulators like Henry Kissinger,” writes Icke. As author and researcher F. William Engdahl notes, the modern eugenicist movement — in addition to the environmental movement and the “Green Revolution” — were founded and funded by the Rockefellers. “The eugenics of Hitler were financed to a major extent by the same Rockefeller Foundation which today is building a doomsday seed vault to preserve samples of every seed on our planet,” writes Engdahl. “In reality, as it years later emerged, the Green Revolution was a brilliant Rockefeller family scheme to develop a globalized agribusiness which they then could monopolize just as they had done in the world oil industry beginning a half century before. As Henry Kissinger declared in the 1970’s, ‘If you control the oil you control the country; if you control food, you control the population’… Agribusiness and the Rockefeller Green Revolution went hand-in-hand.” Thomas Ferguson, the Latin American case officer for the State Department’s Office of Population Affairs under Kissinger, was speaking bluntly yet honestly when he said: “Popu more

Resolved Question: What exactly is a farm level audit?

I'm writing a paper on KFC and animal cruelty: yum! foods, KFC's owner company, says that they have implemented a "farm-level audit program" to help ensure animal welfare PETA and other animal rights organizations have reported results of undercover investigations of some of KFC's major suppliers that are, in short, horrifying but these investigations have gone on at a few select, individual farms, and to decide if PETA etc's claims are legit, i need to know what a farm-level audit is and how it relates to these individual farms and the overall supplying of these restaurants more

Voting Question: Is there any unselfish reason to have a child now? Food stocks mushroomed after 1900 with oil-powered tractors?

, electric implements, rail transport (coal, then diesel), refrigeration (electric) etc. Before these cataclysmic shifts, fewer than 1,500,000,000 ppl could even EAT! Through the chapter of their existence, mass-quantities of cheap food (made possible by cheap oil) tricked 5 generations (now totaling nearly 7 Billion) into assuming that food is no problem. We'll never have too little. To a reasonable extent, only: - I know farms. - I know farming. - I know fuel. Marine Corps officers (typically very conservative) delivered a lecture in the late eighties to the members of my squadron detailing how the cost of protecting those crucial shipping lanes (that bring foreign oil to the U.S.) is no lower than $5 per *Gallon!* and often more than $15 per GALLON. Our secretive government has, for years, paid this anti-free-market cost by spending in deficit. Fact is this: Once the oil is most certainly not cheap, food-availability is shot. Call it a distant memory. Inevitably, then, that newly acquired 5.5 billion will be eating 2 X 4's. Which means they'll have nothing to eat. That they'll most likely starve. We Conservatives had a chance to show where we really shine - thinking independently and finding solutions to problems, demanding free-markets, ending subsidies (including this $15/gallon of gas military assistance), preserving the wisdom of our ancestors (Henry Ford hated gasoline and insisted on ethanol, which his cars burned so efficiently as to make modern cars look bad), giving it the "old College Try". Enter Al "I am God and my love of self is justified" Gore and his "I can't view my Tooth" mocumentary. He vilified all who were not mindless supporters of his party. I dare say he even went on an anti-hunger strike - eating caviar and donuts non-stop until the entire world became clintonites. Suffice it to say that, after that TP-toss, few conservatives could stomach the idea of doing good if it meant disintegrating the reasons behind having Gore committed. .So, then, back to the question. With no one really to blame, how can one justify adding natural, real humans into the mix at a time when very genuine concerns for availability of affordable food are looming? ... more

Resolved Question: When did humanity start to fall apart?

If were intelligent species, why are there so many wars and senseless violence? Why are the people fighting, nothing ever good comes from war but still it's been going on for thousands of years. Is it when money was implemented? When people started colonizing? If so, what is the solution? Would it be for the best if the whole world is wipe clean and we start over? Were humans ever supose to work for money? Wouldn't it be for the best if we all just farm what we needed? No idea how that will work though.
