"Welcome to farming." Most true statement I've heard. I inherited the farm recently and it's been a learning curve understanding the farming practices these people use vs the conventional farming everyone around this area uses. I'll be the first one around my area to try something new like this so I'm making sure I do it right cause I'm new to farming and I can't have these old narrow minded farmers around here thinking my farming practices don't work because they already think soil health is hocus pocus. I'll do my part to educate farmers around this area because I think if we don't the WEF has a plan to own 50% of our farmland by 2050 and I think they'll do it by increased input costs and also making selling seed even less profitable than it already is. Local markets are more secure than competing with the big monopoly companies we have controlling most of our agriculture livestock and seed industry.
You’re going to make mistakes. No fault in that. Don’t let anyone dissuade you from trying (and failing) because this is important work. Better to keep your head down and show them results in 3-5 years than spend your time arguing now.
