Those who control the food, control the people.
Koch.
Only in cases where the people don't have guns.
You nailed it with your comment!
That's😈🖤😈 gates, nwo, wef'$, globalistz' Agenda . . .🌏 En$lavement & Depopulation.
And we cannot feed ourselves with electric farm equipment.
Cost of fertilizer is up, cost of feed is up, and the cost of fuel is up.
Increasing cost of food via war on fossil , the food crisis is not a concern of the left
The cost of everything is up. You can thank Scumala, Jalopy Joe, and their fellow insurrectionists for that.
@@reverendmorgano9659 Nope, it's Koch Industries.
@@Max14163 And other elites benefiting from monopolies across all industries. Inflation below 3% or below for over a year, yet prices have been 6-10 times that for over a year......
@@Gutlardinflation below 3 percent my ass! Do research. Good God it's been through roof ever since Biden and Harris took control. That's what they want
IT IS TRUE. EVERYTHING HAS BEING RAISED UP: 1. cost of fertilizer is up, by the way it's been the highest of the cost all the time; 2. cost of feed is up; 3. cost of minerals are up; 4. cost of medications are up; 5. cost of fuel is up.
Due to sanctions on Russia, prices are up.
This good man is ringing the alarm. Please let us hear it!!!
Unless this is just to take us off guard. Trust no one
Thank you Rep Thompson. for speaking up for our Country, our Farmers and Ranchers!❤🙏🇺🇸
Get Gates out of our farms and we would be much better off!
@@shaunaedmonds7383 he bought 50,000 ish acres of farmland in Arkansas and shut down the farms 👿
And China
@@halleyl2637 Absolutely!!!
Get Gates' APeel out of our produce, too.
Good! I'm so glad that you're speaking up for our farmers and ranchers.
America needs to be prepared for this food crisis majority of citizens are too busy on TikTok to realize
Those are the same people who taunt you saying "the sky is falling, the sky is falling!" Well, the sky IS falling and you're 100% correct. Regardless who wins the election there will be civil unrest and I don't plan to leave my house.
He doesn't make sense. Am I to believe we both have a shortage of farm products and prices are too low? That combination doesn't happen in nature.
@@jrstf USA's dependence on imported meat, grains and other food stuffs are causing shortages. There is both a shortage of farm products and prices are to low for farmers to do nothing more than scrape by. USA is not self-sufficient anymore.
@@jrstf You're right, however things that happen naturally are now man-made chaos.
@dancinginabundance you are so right!!!
Get the bureau of Land Management and the EPA under control they are responsible for this. Using eminent domain with conservation rules to take people's farms and property.
Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture is working, through corruption, to imprison the Amish and anyone who aids the Amish. Glenn totally missed on that.
It goes much higher than them. They are doing the bidding of the Biden/harris administration!!! Get them out of the White House!!!
Yes!!! Stop taking away land!!!
There is no evidence suggesting that the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture (PDA) is attempting to imprison the Amish as a group. However, there have been legal disputes involving specific Amish farmers, particularly Amos Miller, who has been involved in a prolonged legal battle with the PDA over the sale of raw milk and other unregulated food products.
Miller, who operates in Lancaster County, has been targeted by the PDA and federal agencies for selling raw, unpasteurized dairy products, which are linked to potential food safety concerns. The department has raided his farm several times, confiscating products and imposing fines. The PDA argues that these actions are in the interest of public safety, particularly after reports of illnesses linked to raw dairy products. However, Miller and his supporters view these actions as government overreach, especially since his customers willingly purchase his products with full knowledge of the risks
And then sell it to the damn Chinese
When most of your food is produced by big agra companies, there's a problem,
And Thompson's state (and he is my congressman) is working to make that 100% big agra companies (re: Amos Miller Organic Farms case).
Bingo...the system is corrupt and needs to be given back to all of the small farms...period
We need change now!!! Help all the farmers. Help AMERICA now!!!!
Please help our farmers!!
❤thank you farmer s and rancher s.
Chevron deference it's time you reel in the bureau of Land Management and the EPA.
Mabe, you should quite selling land to the ccp.
Its a tiny amount. Canada and Europe own the most.
Americans shouldn't be selling our land to our adversaries. Period.
Yes , yes, yes ..
It's not a tiny amount it's a decent amount in my state...
Any state not providing food for its people is crazy. Farmers should be supported to provide food LOCALLY.
The fed shut down over 500,000 acres of farm land in Idaho.
Shouldn't that raise the income of the remaining farmers?
@@jrstf It will create a shortage and put a lot of small farms out of business. Nothing good about this
That doesn't surprise me, when Obama was in he was constantly putting more and more land into National Parks controlled by the government.
The Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR) issued a water curtailment order affecting 500,000 acres of farmland in the state. Groundwater levels are declining at an alarming rate, and so farms must reduce their water usage in order to avoid a catastrophic shortfall in the future. The federal government had nothing to do with it.
Where did you get that info from? Could you please share? I wouldn’t trust them from now on. With important issues like this, it’s always best to do your own research or find a source that takes both farmers and scientists into account. They both need to be a part of this conversation.
@@davidcollins4225 That report failed to mention that the drought ended a while back - and it was only a drought that was only minimal.
Yes espescially considering what food is on the shelf now is poisoned.
Dogs are literally turning their nose up to. Chicken and beef and stuff that used to eat My dog smells and won't take none of it when a dog don't eat it something Is wrong with it😢.
They are giving us the fate, food and meat. When they are keeping the good food and meat for their self😮
Just about everything is, "contains bioengineering ingredients".
I now have to make all of my Cream of...Soups. Those are poisoned. My coffee creamer, my baked beans, most of my chili beans, teriyaki noodles, just about anything with a seasoning or sauce packets in it, cookies, donuts, fruit pies, you name it, it's been poisoned.
What's up with the hyperbole? It's not good for you. "Poisoned" means if you eat it ONCE ypu'll be in the ER or not living. Being over the top is not more convincing. You're just raising the bar for reasonable communication. How will you then distinguish REAL poison like rat poison and things like that? I pity the people at poison control.
@@SandcastleDreams Some instructional pages I can't post but can spell out; look for them on the tube. Rose Red Homestead another is Sutton's Daze there is hope.
Everything keeps getting worse in this country why aren't the people representing us letting this happen.
Because the communists are currently in charge, this will become worse if she wins
Dems are in control.
Damn auto correct. You meant "are".
NWO rings a bell. Pay attention to all the so called officials that have mentioned it over the years. It's not a conspiracy.
Because they get lots of money.
Because the democrats want us to beg for there help
Lawmakers Please act fast to save our agricultural communities.
Factory farms have killed family farms. Costs of materials and equipment outweigh profits. Government consistently order farmers to destroy product if there is a "surplus." Prime crop lands are either being turned into solar/wind farms or suburbs and apartments.
They are using the green deal against the farmers market
Also not covering farmland with wind turbines would help. Put wind turbines in parking lot.
We really do need to understand the importance of voting If you don't vote you give your vote away to someone else who votes against someone you don't care for. It doesn't really matter at this point if all politicians are selfish we need to choose the one who takes care of his belongings and responsibility
The bill should include opening leases to drill for all forms of energy,
Giving our tax dollars… hundreds of billions to other countries. Billions to migrants. But we can not support or own people. Where is the support for Maui, our veterans, and our homeless? These politicians need to be held accountable for the harm they bring to the people they represent.
Imagine if we gave as much free equipment to our farmers as we gave to the Taliban.
Tucson Arizona is suffering I don't know one person who is not devastated by the effects of fentanyl on their family in this city let alone homelessness and the struggle is real temporary shelter they give them a tent but if they go to the store to get water that tent is taken over by some dudes with machetes and that's not real temporary shelter when you are not allowed to have it anywhere
Vote TRUMP and KENNEDY...they are going to fix this mess and Make America Healthy AGAIN!!
Please help them the need to feed america
Congress, protect our farmers and support our source of food. America First, America First!!
We need to grow/raise our own food. Keep it in and for America. We can do this if the government would stop making it impossible. All the HOA's need to allow gardens and let people keep a few chickens in neat clean backyard coops. Take some pride in caring for ourselves and quit worrying about how trash cans are lined up or the color of a mailbox.
The Pa Dept of Ag stated in court that they control all food, even what you raise in your back yard, and they can make unannounced inspections of your personal refrigerator any time they desire, and confiscate anything they don't approve of.
@@jrstf is it only there? I have heard nothing of that here in Louisiana. I have taken a lot of my food into my own hands. I will break my back before my family goes hungry.
@@jodireaux965 - Pennsylvania leads the way. This is a developing story. So far, they are prosecuting Amos Miller Organic Farms. What I wrote is what they have claimed in the court room. We have only the statements made by Amos' lawyer, Robert Barnes, the judge confiscated the reporters written notes when they left the court room.
My statements arose because not only did they stop Amos from selling in PA, also stopped him from mailing to other states, and even stopped he and his family from consuming their food.
@@jrstfwell thats horrible. We have got to figure out how to seriously take our power back since we are the people our constitution was written for.
@@jrstfwhat the hell, who let that happen!?
FJB!!!! We the people are about at our wits end. This is a ticking time 💣

We all need food climate was rouge from 2019 very importain that we make it right for are farmers....Let get it right this time the world is counting on you all.....
Yes ......louder!
Thanks to Biden
Absolutely not, the Republicans won't even bring it to the floor for a vote. They use one excuse after another. Maybe now they will because they are playing games with our economy and more. This is a do nothing Congress. I live in ranch country and have watched this bill closely. What we need is for both sides to work together for the good of all, not what they can use for political gain. Democrats have been willing to vote with what ever Republicans would vote for it but still here we are because they sit on the bill. Try loosing $85,000 in one week, I bet it would wipe you out. That's what my rancher friends lost and are still loosing as they sit on the bill. Now they have a bipartisan bill. Question is, will the Republicans get iff their a**?
It isn't Biden doing this, it's Congress playing games. Republicans have decided sitting on the bill would allow them to use it for political gain. Ranchers and farmers depend on the Farm Bill to survive. If we loose our ranchers and farmers hang on to your hat because everything will get more expensive as big corporations gobble up their farms and ranches. Now there is a bipartisan bill and hopefully Trump won't make another call to kill this bill like he did the Bipartisan Border Bill and the Peace Agreement in Gaza. Ranchers are loosing money every week in amounts that would put you in the poorhouse. Enough is enough. Get off your asses and get it done!
Actually, Koch.
Exactly
This started with president clinton
Protect our farmers!!! No food no life! Don’t let them control our food!
Let who control it? Very little of our food is raised by family farmers. The CCP isn't our biggest problem, The USDA is.
He should bon the campaign trail with RFKjr and Trump. Make america Healthy again. MAHA
Thompson could learn a lot from RFK Jr. Some of what he says, or doesn't say, is crap.
YES!!! TRUMP VANCE RFK Jr!!!!!
The USDA needs to stop attacking farmers
Wait a minute... Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Willie Nelson & Neil Young have been trying to raise awareness about this problem for the past FORTY YEARS!!!! I mean, does FARM AID ring a bell?!?! And Congress is just now, FINALLY catching on?!?! Good job guys, nuthin' gets past YOU!
Just a show to keep us off guard. If this was only just realized, we need to clean house and NOW!
All part of the WEF plans!
How I wish more Americans would listen to these hearings.
GOD BLESS OUR FARMERS . GIVE THEM WHAT THEY NEED TO KEEP US STRONG !!!!
Wouldn't it be wild if farmers got the kind of money we send to our enemies?
Corn, soybean, cotton, and wheat. That is all most farmers grow today. Very few farms produce directly edible foods, i.e. vegetables and fruit. The USDA has made those staple crops (corn & soybean) the only profitable crop because they subsidize theses crops. Farmers have difficulty growing human food, green beans, broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes, etc., at a profit. Why? Because these vegetables are being imported and sold for a lower cost than our farmers can compete with, even though these are imported from around the world on cargo ships the use more than 300,000 gallons of diesel each for a one-way trip. This makes NO sense! Do SOMETHING so we can grow our own HUMAN food here. Tarriff the imported foods and give that tax money to small farms to subsidize those growing directly edible human food for local and national markets.
The American poeple can eat the left over shells and booms they sent to Ukraine 200 billion well help a lot of farmers
USA fighting Russia by proxy using the Ukraine, think about it.
we also sent $ to Ukraine farmers
@@growbiz Yep, as much as anything because we are dependent on their wheat.
This is good info. Thank you sir. God bless.
A 100% politician all the way around. Stop telling us what is wrong. We know! Start telling us what you will do fix it. I can tell you first. You'll ask for money from the taxpayers. What else? The budget is already calculated yesterday. One day and you're looking to supplement that budget with some more spending money. You're not going to help farmers. You're just going to spend money because that is what real politicians do. It's all they do other than talk in circles.
Absolutely!
Remember what happened to Sri Lanka? Protect American farmers.
Talk to Bill Gates about his land purchases in Africa and America.
All by design and kamala wants to finish taking it to the level that they want it
Yet we give other Countries 200 billion , what are we stupid ?
Yes we are
@@derekgriffith4324no, the politicians and and abc agencies are. Maybe just plain evil.
Fund small farms! Fund small farms! Fund small farms!
How about REMOVE the language that protects Monsanto/Bayer from lawsuits...the American People deserve the right to sue for harm inflicted by their chemicals!!!
USDA is complicit too!
America Farmers Feed America!
Meanwhile the Chinese Farmers buying carpet in America are not struggling right
They have China's financial backing.
The Farm Bill /USDA has become so bloated in what it covers. Support for farmers is vitally important but the welfare programs tied up in the bill muddy the waters (SNAP, WIC and Rural Housing loan assistance).
Any talk about ending the foreign interests buying up farm land and abusing water rights? Any talk about encouraging farm/agricultural education (the average farmer is near retirement )? Any talk about our pork industry being owned by China? What about the decade severe droughts across the midwest? So many actual problems in our ag industry but I just don't know that this bill addresses any of them.
We need a hard look at real estate. It needs to stay in local hands, not foreign ownership, not national private equity, before bailing out towering genetics and chemical companies, financial institutions or individuals. Land lost to one producer must be sold to LOCAL BEGINERS, regardless of equity lost by the financial institutions.
CONGRESS ARIZONA YAVAPIA COUNTY . 85332. . Uncorporated.
Farmers sell to the highest bidder, so if China gives a better price for wheat, then the wheat goes to China and our prices go up because of the scarcity.
Remove tax against them
Yes
This is a concern for all Americans but, I don't think many even know where their food comes from. I certainly prefer to have the food that I eat come from my own country 🇺🇲
I know how much it cost to feed chicken goat and sheep and vegetables water is very important for farmers
I don’t want to eat anything not grown it the United States of America.
Chocolate? Coffee?
no food no farm no farm no food This is real quagmire
tell John Deer to stop making it so no one but them can work on farm machines they wait weeks or months to get repairs and they lose a lot of what they grow wile losing money
Man cannot live on goose and cat meat alone.😮
lololol That's so true!
They found the cat. It was in the basement. MAGA can stop the bomb threats now.
Drain the swamp, only way😢
With the Open boarders and sanctuary states more food etc is needed to feed everybody here in our homeland
Help the small town farmers too! Not just the big companies.
What happened to the American bread basket!!
I hope people watching around the world are watching specially in Australia.
Merci beaucoup pour votre analyse.
Support all Farmers and Ranchers! Without them most people will be very hungry or worse.
The farm bill is what broke farming. Specialization caused mono streams of revenue leaving farmers un diversified and at risk. Consolidation of processing allowed farmers to be bullied and markets to be manipulated. It pushes farms to produce the crops that are included in the protections of the farm bill, instead of what is most suitable for their environment. Every day we eat products produced with derivates of soybeans that were grown in areas where they have to be sprayed with desiccants like paraquat, a chemical linked to Parkinson’s disease, because the climate there does not trigger the plants to die off
We over produce and spend a lot of money doing it, just so we can get lower prices, yet the price the consumer is high, where does that money go? What about all the hidden costs to everyone? Medical bills, high insurance rates, diabetes, autism?
The companies who process the food producers grow are all tobacco industry transplants who jumped ship when their crap finally caught up to them.
I am a farmer. At scale, not a hobby farmer. We produce organically without tilling the land. We’re doing ok, but we’re forced to compete with “organic” products that come in to this country without any supervision or certification as it is being produced. We have a gallows humor as organic American producers. “Throw a load of grain on a ship and let it float long enough, it will magically become organic before it gets here.”
Just my 2 cents.
They need to lower and regulate the price of animal feed and fund farmers
We don't need to worry about climate change if Harris is elected , we will starve to death first . I am tired of these missed meal cramps .
Don't worry. Gates will feed you crickets.
America used to feed the world!
This farm bill has a $60 billion CUT to SNAP funds
This is a "show" put on for us. He's speaking to an empty hall.
They don't care
Is this the same country that culled all of their livestock to prevent price deflation?
As a farmer, 4th generation. I have never seen is worse than it currently is. This is a serious problem
You will starve because of the green new deal
"Government makes them more affordable" - Sounds like Socialism to me. Obamacare for Farmers.
Notice he didn’t mention regulations?
If they don't grow we don't eat, everything we hear is recession and no thought about the end results of no common sense, increase the chances of an endless depression,...YES, I SAID
DEPRESSION, DEPRESSION, DEPRESSION, DEPRESSION.!!!!

REEEESEEETT. 😂😂 Eventually all our new visitors will leave n migrate somewhere else or starve.
Should have taken action years ago...lazy people who don't do their jobs cuz they are always on vacation...look at the empty seats behind them while they sit on their fears and are just now trying to control an out of control situation!!!
We need all our Is farmers back we need to stop growing food with no chemicals in it we need to bring America back on its feet no more poisons than our food We need the help to farmers we need a pass a bill so when they go and plant food and feed the American people they're at least making some money to save their Farms input a little bit of money in their pocket
I’m seeing food from across the world in our groceries but I’m always looking for the USA label. Homegrown.
Those who control the water and land and ability to grow your own household food will bring control through starvation!
Good Lord Americans are so dense. What does it take to get it through everyone's head to understand that WE ARE ALL GOING TO HAVE TO START GROWING OUR OWN FOOD. IT'S LITERALLY THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE.
The most important industry is agriculture. We shoukd be focused building local food chains to minimize fossil fuel consumption.
VOTE TRUMP VANCE...RFK Jr will fight big AG and MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN!! We desperately need them to fix this insanity. Our food is nothing but POISON!!!!
I would like to take this moment to thank Willie Nelson and Jamie Johnson 🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽
How the hell can you people sleep at night
"Creates an advisory committee" - Sounds like the swamp getting bigger...
Well of course, and just create more red tape to cut through. Not buying anything he is saying, all BULLSHIT.
People need to stop asking for money and start asking why the f*** we need so much of it
It's all going overseas and in the politicians pockets!
But if we keep Food production here in the United States, born-rich Billionaires wouldn't be able to become Trillionaires at the direct expense of hungry babies and toddlers, And THAT, that's just not fair.
