What's your guys's take on this? Is it just a new name for the Green New Deal to get rid of cows? A government land grab to take land out of private ownership? Or a CRP type of thing to pay landowners to take land out of production? I don't see any options that makes since economically for our country. I know little of this thing's plans or intensions. What do you guys know?

What do you guys know? I love that there are no details. Why only protect 30%, why not protect 100%? I think clean air, water, and habitat is a good thing. But what does that mean? It would be better for nature if we all moved to Brooklyn Center and quit with our destructive ways in the country. This might be why Gates bought up so much farmland. With the stroke of a pen on a government purchase agreement, he could end food production on those lands forever. |

So what is their plan; take land out of private ownership, or pay owners to take land out of production? I can't find out what they are planning on doing.
There are some local pastures with wild horses on them, out of food production, landowners making $$$ to let horses run free inside a fence. No useful production. I'm picturing this type of thing but more widespread.

I'm picturing this type of thing but more widespread. It only takes one quack to pipe up and start talking about the harmful effects of pharmaceuticals leaching into the soil from septic systems, or the compaction and erosion that results from foot traffic in parks. CRP is only a temporary break from production agriculture. Can't have lead shot, campsites, garbage, pavement, fractionalized migration corridors etc. When these guys say protect, they really mean abandon. I find it funny the country that is feverishly buying up our grains is also on board with recommending we cut food production 30% worldwide, at the same time, population, if not knocked back substantially, will grow probably 15%. I'm not super smart, but I'm pretty sure less input means less output. So who's not going to eat, or has that already been decided somehow?  |

And dont forget about this one too.... www.agriculture.com/news/business/justice-bill-would-transfer-up-to-32-million-acres-to-black-farmers160 free acres to farmers of color. thats 10% of all cropland in America today Cropland- About 349 million acres in the U.S. are planted for crops. This is the equivalent of about four states the size of Montana. Four crops -- feeder corn (80 million acres), soybeans (75 million acres), alfalfa hay (61 million acres) and wheat (62 million acres) -- make up 80 percent of total crop acreage. |

Most farmers I know can’t make a living on 160 acres. A few do with livestock. In reality, most with only 160 acres are hobby farmers. |

Surely they will subsidize the black farmer so they don’t have to do any farming at all. It would be racist if they didn’t. |

But the fact we have govt rules to give land for free is more the point. i am sure caravans of black people are loading up cars and heading out to the country to start farming.  So what we will see in coming years is that we are holding them back from achieving their dreams of farming in some fabricated fashion. Its one thing after another for excuses. |

I wonder what defines a person as black for government purposes.
Has anyone done genetic tests?
