[QUOTE="JohnGalway, post: 7550028, member: 204"] Remember a while back Joel Salatin was the target of a charge of racism from (I believe) Chris Newman of Sylvanaqua farms? Something that at the time struck me as an opportunistic profile raising attack of convenience. Today I listened, I may have said things out loud, to a podcast featuring Sarah Mock who used to work with/at Sylvanaqua Farms, on "Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food" podcast. f**k me but few things in Ag pushed my buttons like some of the opinions expressed in that podcast. To be fair there was a genuinely interesting part contrasting the farm as an investment/childrens inheritence vs farm as a business/children work/buy into ownership overtime. It's amazing how someone can profess to know so muc yet at the same time know so little, specialisation I guess! There were a few, from my pov, unlikeable opinions expressed but nothing on the level of the revisionism that came next. Apparently, all of us farmers across the planet who ever received a gran/subsidy/cheque in the post [I]in the past[/I] have already been paid handsomely for what Joe Public want's today, or tomorrow. That particularly lodged itself in my craw because given how the average (setting on a washing machine) farmer has zero to sfa control over how money is spent or why. I started to do a little digging and now see that Sylvanaqua Farms has fallen apart pretty much. [URL unfurl="true"]https://docs.google.com/document/d/16SZA55h2fhWxgqbpSeno3UW22I5W3fQUR4dt_phtM2A/edit[/URL] I must say two things, if it were a collection of people with opinions as strong as expressed on the podcast I can't say it surprised anyone that they fell out. The other thing being I can't say I could see Joel Salatin run his ship in that manner. There's no real point to this post tbh, the force or venom behind the opinions prompted me to post I guess.
