I'm so sorry to hear this I thought for sure 100% you had a position in DC .our Farmers ,Our Amish communities ( I live in Pennsylvania and Amish Amos Miller should ring bells) anyone that is farming in so many ways needs a voice as our Govt does everything to stop people from growing food. Im so sick of our food in this country GMO, coming from other countrys etc. Not only is our food horrible, taste like crap bit is making us so sick. We need a voice.
I’m very glad you had a conversation with rfk. At least he knows about you, and you could be a consideration for advisor. Your wisdom is needed, and some self promotion to be involved at the fed level wouldn’t hurt.

EVERYBODY KNOWS WHO JOEL SALITIN IS.....IF HE'S NOT CHOSEN....SOMETHING IS WRONG...SAME WITH MASSEY........
Sure, but knowing Trump his voice would be ignored. Trump has no intention of letting RFK do anything. The second he meets with chemical company CEOs, he'll take their money and kill anything RFK would want to do. The folks who voted for Trump thinking they were getting RFK are fools and will be disappointed.
Always start at your state level. Call and don’t write your Representatives and Senators, don’t email, don’t call too often , get others to call as well. I recommend listening to Rep Thomas Massie’s speech at the Weston A. price Foundation. He has plenty of good tips regarding that subject. Also - call your reps and tell them they need to go behind this Freedom of Food choice Amendment.
The issue is Kentucky’s governor is a Democrat and would pick a Democrat to take over Massy’s seat in the House leaving a Republican majority of only 4. I imagine it was thought it was more important to conserve that slim majority than make Massey head of USDA
Thank you so much for letting us know what was going on with the USDA pick. It's a crucial position for those of us who voted for Trump with the hope of overhauling our broken food system. I know Brooke Rollins is probably being heavily courted by Big Food, the farm bureau, the chemical companies...I will pray every day that she listen to the better angels.
@@dilksy86 Wrong. Check your facts. He may NOT appoint a "D". He must appoint an "R" from a slate of 3 recommended by the R Party's State Executive Committee.
@@chiefidahojoe check your own facts. No representative can ever be appointed to the House. They are all elected. If a vacancy occurs, a special election is held. And for the record, if you want ag without chemicals, the Republican party is a foolish place to give your votes. Just look at Trump's first four years. His EPA head killed regulations that would have reduced use of a pesticide that impacts children's development. Trump won't let RFK do anything to reduce pesticide use. Period.
We love you and the whole team here from france!!! Farmers here need to be inspired by you and the powerful homesteaders mouvement in the USA !!! It will come one day... Blessings +++!!!
I just listened to the entire podcast and it was fantastic. Lunatic Libertarian all the way! I really did believe you and Massie had been chosen and I was blindsided when the nomination was made😹Oops! I know RFK Jr will ask you to advise whether it is official or not, and most likely Massie, too. I’d love to see you on Larry Sharpe’s podcast🙌🏽 If you ever have time. He has a wonderful community and it would be terrific to hear your conversation 💚
It's been run by the herbicides corporation Monsanto since 1957. Every president appoints a Monsanto guy every 4 years. Now I guess since Monsanto is now Bayer Syngenta it'll be from there.
Remember seeing a older documentary about farmers still saving their seeds with an old equipment and refusing to use big AG gmo seeds. They took it all from him.
Joel, you already know this, but you are a huge inspiration to many. By sharing your knowledge and experience you have enriched so many lives, our farms and gardens. Thank you. God has a plan.....
That amendment sounds great. Forcing people to buy pasteurized factory farm milk is absurd. My friend grew up in Germany in a village where people got unpasteurized milk delivered fresh daily to their homes along with bread, buns and the newspaper. He knew of no case of illness from that milk.
congrats Joel!!! and hi Sina I've already seen a video about "joel salatin controversy" so be tough and I'm here like a happy hog just "rooting" for ya! and the future. you both have a great thanksgiving and i need to prep this turkey
The fact that there are so many appointments shows the main problem. The federal government has enumerated powers, and all of these agencies are not within those powers.
The concern is the controversies of Doug Burgum as sec. of interior with Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos being his biggest funders. A position that is very important to ranchers and farmers.
Very concerned about Pam Bondi's A2 record. I love Thomas Massie, he would have been great, but we also need him in the house. I do hope they still seek Joel out as things move forward and use his vast amount of knowledge.
I've been a huge fan for years, but in all fairness and honesty, this was NOT a game of telephone. Joel is the one that posted Massie was going to get the position and Joel would be on a 6 person advisory board. I'm disappointed it didn't work out.
I think someone with Salatin-level knowledge, and that is a very short list, as an advisor would be fantastic as an advisor. Brook Rollins (hoping I spelled that right) could lean on whoever it is, ideally Joel, to have a better understanding of the big picture and how everything ties together. Shoukd be interesting.
I don’t think you realize what’s about to happen, at the end of this there will only be 25k employees in the USDA. I’m working on regenerative grazing which I believe livestock is the best place to start. If you get USDA out , the row croppers will have a chance to look at alternative practices. If you think keeping the USDA and changing policies is the answer it just means you are going to dictate your theories , that’s not going to work either.
Linda here….What? I thought Massey and Salatin was a done deal! This is SO disappointing. What a huge set back. I’m crying here. There was so much hope for so many. Would have been a really big help to RFK, Jr 😥
A reminder to all: government is NOT a solution to the problems gov't has created. Only support politicians who understand what inalienable rights and personal liberty are. And focus your efforts on building yourself, your family, and your local community. Not on what bureaucrats in DC are scheming. #libertarian #RonPaul #VOLUNTARYISM
We need people in there, who understand Natural Law, once that happens there is no need for amendments, I would say that we need to bring the legal system back to working for the people rather than the corporate state, but that can be accomplished by the use of Natural law to abandon the legal system.
Rollins was raised in Glen Rose, Texas and attended Texas A&M University, where she graduated cum laude with a B.S. in agricultural development in 1994. While at Texas A&M, Rollins was the first female to be elected student body president. She also served as the speaker pro tempore of the Student Senate, the chair of the Texas A&M Judicial Court, as a Fish Camp counselor, and was Cotton Bowl Classic Queen.[4] In 2007, Rollins became the first female speaker at the College Station Aggie Muster, which honors deceased Texas A&M former students.[4]
The most important thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis
Thank goodness you brought this up! Truly, investing has changed my perspective on how one can succeed in life; working multiple jobs isn't the optimal way to attain financial freedom and unfortunately, we discover this later in life. Currently earn as much as 10 grand weekly and this has improved my financial life. Great piece!
@@SusanMelson-kk6ll Wow, congratulations on your impressive investment success! Your discipline and focus on delayed gratification is truly inspiring. I'm curious, what are some of the key factors that you consider when making investment decisions? Do you have any tips for those of us who are just starting to dip our toes into the world of investing? Thanks for sharing your story!
😊 You are right. The best approach I feel is to diversify investments- by spreading investments across different asset classes like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown.
@@SusanMelson-kk6ll Please Do you mind sharing info on the adviser who assisted you? I'm 39 now and would love to grow my portfolio and plan my retirement.
Seems like we have to connect with like minded people and amazing experts like Joel in order to move away from the banana circus. It doesn’t matter what the big collective chooses because we are sovereign, do your own thing.
How would you even be able to stand being around those government bureaurats? Tom massie doesn't have an AIPAC handler babysitter. It would be so exciting working with the GOVCO cubicle dwellers.
I’m glad he picked Brooke Rollins. Joel is a lot like Greg Judy in that if you don’t farm the way they do, then you are doing it all wrong. Just because you are the loudest in the room does not make you the best for the job.
Do it! Do it! Do it! This is the agent of change in the AG space. Joel Saliten directing America's AG industry. "Father in Heaven in Jesus Holy Name please bring this to fruition". If Joel stepped into this role the earth would ring with the devil screaming NOOOOOOOO......!
It’s the lobbyist that need to be watched. We all know whenever any legislation is proposed, this group steps up and provides the bias to uninformed politicians in order to sway key opinion. If she is an Ag Lightweight as mentioned, this is the area to be aware of.
I am waiting patiently to hear her positions. Pray that she is a house cleaner as well as Musk. The Attorney General pick on;y worries me on some things that she has said about 2A conversation.
We have a commercial NTFP harvesting business that wants access to federal forestlands. We really hope this new pick will be decent for opening up industries.
Very disappointing about Massie. I still think this is a fascinating development for the AG movement just to be considered. You know you're doing something right when people are talking about what you're doing.
I am a small organic produce farmer in Central VA. I have been involved in the organic sustainable ag movement for years. VABF, VICFA, USDA public hearings, etc, etc. I have been in Joel's home. Joel is a Godly man who speaks truth. No way would he take a position with USDA, advisor maybe. USDA has always been the revolving door of corporate Ag. Yes we have a food and nutrition crisis. Period. Joel is not going to give one inch because of his fundamental principles.
I was hoping that Joe would be considered in this administration considering that if you are going to make America health again, you have to consider how food is grown, and one person who knows how to do it right and has been for many years is Joe. In any case wishing you the best Joe, and I do hope you have some impact that makes real change.
I went to UF AG farm day. All their AG is commercial and chemical. Because it is funded by big chemical and big AG. Even tho they get taxpayer money from the government they don’t do any natural organic or traditional studies no comparisons . It was sad. When I asked they looked at me like I had grown horns. 🤷🏻♀️
not sure why you would derail an opportunity for you to influence USDA by calling her an “Ag Light Weight” even if its true. Doubt she would be interested in a sit down with you after calling her that. I doubt the Industrial Big Ag providers would call her that further pushing her closer to them.
define "the People". They will trick you with words, definitions and capitalization. They change the definition of words all the time so the right of the People or the right of the people should be defined or "they" will assume a definition for you.
That was the belief but Trump winning proves we were wrong. They certainly have the system rigged but we can still exercise Democracy if enough people are motivated. But we still have a near impossible challenge.
@ The reason they tried to impeach him on the way out the door last time is because he was going to pardon Snowden and was thinking about Assange and was going to release the Kennedy papers. He backed off doing those things because a bunch of establishment. Republicans told him they would vote with the Democrats to impeach and he would not be able to run for president again. But now he gets the last laugh! This is just one of the many reasons the left and the establishment are so desperate to stop him. Because he’s going out of their power and their corruption. So keep voting no matter who America will eventually be California, New York, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, Detroit, Philadelphia, etc., etc.
Farmers should simply stop feeding the soldiers and bureaucrats who abuse them and their neighbors . I don't sell food to cops or attorneys at my market. Many Loyalists say I am mean, but I remind them that I don't live by the sword/gun robbing people's stuff. It isn't in my interest to feed govt any more than they force me to at gun point.
I'm not sure how much money Mr Salatin donated to his political party but I'm sure they'd gladly and would be open to hearing from him on any concerns or recommendations he has to offer.
Joel won’t get into trumps admin because he’s not paying to play. You have to buy your positions in this incoming admin. Biggest grift in history is about to rain down on us. This cabinet will be run by multi millionaires and billionaires.
I disagree. We do not need insiders; we need managers from the outside to ask those simple, difficult questions that make people look at each other. The farm industry has made few positive gains since it became a political organization. As with every organization that has a history of not functioning well the root cause usually is found within. And, the root causes are born of doing the same old things and expecting a different outcome. If you are so sure that you are needed then make contact and feed your opinions. We are sure your contributions would be appreciated. Sometimes you cannot grow a better product by replanting a vine from an existing plant, you need to plow the crop under under and plant a newer breed of innovative seeds. Farming is mostly common sense. critical thinking and a debate inclusive of a wide range of business experiences. If your industry disagrees with historic performance (status quo) then you are not asking the right questions or the current preferred leadership is using the wrong set of tools to fix the poor performance. One person at the top should be a business manager, not a farm representative sold on short-sighted and biased concepts approved by his peers. a position so small in scale that the biased leadership cannot see the forest for the trees. A strong leader asks questions and listens., a weak leader preaches and looks to install controlling policies. The former is a manager the latter is a boss. A manager manages people and a boss manages projects... you probably should be looking for a manager who manages outcomes starting at the end goal and working backward to an action plan then finding the people who are qualified to move the plan into productive critically time-controlled strategies and tactics always pointed at the end goal. There are a lot of good people that have great ideas absent management and communication skills. The name of the game is the ability to communicate and be surrounded by the necessary non-political expertise. Selling the concept that US farmers will be out of business by 2040 (a certain time) and, thereafter all food will be imported at a higher cost without meeting basic safety conditions is a strong example of the size and scale of the problem that a well-managed team has the detailed answers to. A manager lets his team of experts fill in the blanks and after exhausting debates overseen by the manager have taken place, the solutions will be affordable and rock-solid and the product will have the features that will benefit all Americans long-term therefore easily sold to Congress. The product will be stronger than any opposing political objection, if not, you have chosen the wrong manager and your manager has chosen the wrong team of experts.
She was only chosen because she had some Ag background but was a major Trump supporter and had to reward her. Sadly like some of his other picks. Not for the best of the country but just payback.
@@priestesslucy she was in FFA, her HS just retired her jacket. Her family shows cows. Went to West Texas A&M. Dont know about big or holistic Ag, just some ties to FFA.
Trump has been a huge disappointment on his appointments. Tulsi & RFK are the ONLY two he has placed worth anything. And the new USDA girl was in FFA as a kid. Her husband is a big hedge fund....Ya we farmers are getting the shit slung at us again.

Super disappointed that Massey wasn't selected, and I hope you still have the ability to provide your experience and input, Joel.
Oh no!! I had no idea! How disappointing!!
I think the issue is that he can't do two positions at the same time.
I so hope that you have imput in Ag policy under this administration. I'm so sorry Massey was not chosen!!!

Joel Salatin will bring common sense to USDA 👍🤞🎉🇺🇸
The only thing they might get is raw milk which means unregulated and unsafe milk. When kids start dying, that'll get reversed.
I am so disappointed that Salatin and Massie have not been picked to run the USDA

Massie is definitely needed in congress.

im for Thomas Massie and Joel Salatin and my farmers Jerica and Matt -Shady Grove Ranch Jefferson, Tx
The fact that there are so many appointments shows the main problem. The federal government has enumerated powers, and all of these agencies are not within those powers.
That's why we need to reverse the Administrative Procedures Act passed in 1946 and follow Article I Section 2 Claus 3 of the Constitution.
The concern is the controversies of Doug Burgum as sec. of interior with Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos being his biggest funders. A position that is very important to ranchers and farmers.
Very concerned about Pam Bondi's A2 record. I love Thomas Massie, he would have been great, but we also need him in the house. I do hope they still seek Joel out as things move forward and use his vast amount of knowledge.
1:45 Non-chemical ag and food freedom
Good to hear what is actually happening.

@priestesslucy We can dream. Lol
I don’t think you realize what’s about to happen, at the end of this there will only be 25k employees in the USDA. I’m working on regenerative grazing which I believe livestock is the best place to start. If you get USDA out , the row croppers will have a chance to look at alternative practices. If you think keeping the USDA and changing policies is the answer it just means you are going to dictate your theories , that’s not going to work either.
You really should start posting on your channel, I would join for truth and good info from you~
It’s true that USDA subsidies are basically skewing the entire world ag landscape. It’s wild the power there.
What a leader!
Linda here….What? I thought Massey and Salatin was a done deal! This is SO disappointing. What a huge set back. I’m crying here. There was so much hope for so many. Would have been a really big help to RFK, Jr 😥
I cried tears of joy when I first heard of their "nomination". Now hearing this I'm just numb... Gosh what a flip in hope and expectations 😢
Matt Gatz was a front for Pam Bondi. She was the pick and Matt showed who the RINOS were! I expect Matt will assist Pam!
100% concur! 👍
12:04 Infringed means nothing apparently. Just look at all the 'gun laws' & even a government agency & a register. Nothing but infringements
Federal government is way to big!
I seriously hope Joel Salatin is hired. Bring realistic goals for all farmers
A reminder to all: government is NOT a solution to the problems gov't has created. Only support politicians who understand what inalienable rights and personal liberty are.
And focus your efforts on building yourself, your family, and your local community. Not on what bureaucrats in DC are scheming.

Hope is lost. Honestly, Joel was the best thing about Trump's win. I have faith in Joel's integrity. Everyone else... not so much.
How would you even be able to stand being around those government bureaurats? Tom massie doesn't have an AIPAC handler babysitter. It would be so exciting working with the GOVCO cubicle dwellers.

This breaks my heart. I thought you were the pick. What a bummer.
She may know alot more than you think. Dr Sonny Perdue was a great Sec of Ag. Need local food production.
Okay. Well this plain sucks. The full on War on good food continues
Join Associated Country Women of the World. Please joining the Country Women’s Council consider of USA.
Massie is a bran power that needs to stay in congress to keep them straight.
Salatin sees food as a commodity first just like the big guys
Don’t fall for the country farmer routine
How much does it cost to get USDA head? How much goes to Trump?
I went to UF AG farm day. All their AG is commercial and chemical. Because it is funded by big chemical and big AG. Even tho they get taxpayer money from the government they don’t do any natural organic or traditional studies no comparisons . It was sad. When I asked they looked at me like I had grown horns. 🤷🏻♀️
not sure why you would derail an opportunity for you to influence USDA by calling her an “Ag Light Weight” even if its true. Doubt she would be interested in a sit down with you after calling her that. I doubt the Industrial Big Ag providers would call her that further pushing her closer to them.
Every president since 1957 has appointed men from the herbicides company Monsanto to manage USDA.
Just wrong
Practical in. Poisons out.
THANK GOD FOR TEAM TRUMP 🥰🙌
I’d like to see more independent individual women explore the possibilities of becoming a member of Associated Country Women of the World…

define "the People". They will trick you with words, definitions and capitalization. They change the definition of words all the time so the right of the People or the right of the people should be defined or "they" will assume a definition for you.

Well I'm disappointed about Joel and Massie, BUT I think God's doing something here, anyway.
I have so little faith in both parties, but, trump is a wild card and sometimes appoints a good person that no one else would have
Voting is an illusion of participation, it allows people to form fantasies about how it will be after their team wins.
That was the belief but Trump winning proves we were wrong. They certainly have the system rigged but we can still exercise Democracy if enough people are motivated. But we still have a near impossible challenge.
Yep, and nothing changes for the better.

I don't see how the same evil man who called for Snowden's execution is now some sort of saviour, but I guess people try to work with what they have.

The reason they tried to impeach him on the way out the door last time is because he was going to pardon Snowden and was thinking about Assange and was going to release the Kennedy papers. He backed off doing those things because a bunch of establishment. Republicans told him they would vote with the Democrats to impeach and he would not be able to run for president again. But now he gets the last laugh! This is just one of the many reasons the left and the establishment are so desperate to stop him. Because he’s going out of their power and their corruption. So keep voting no matter who America will eventually be California, New York, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, Detroit, Philadelphia, etc., etc.
Farmers should simply stop feeding the soldiers and bureaucrats who abuse them and their neighbors . I don't sell food to cops or attorneys at my market. Many Loyalists say I am mean, but I remind them that I don't live by the sword/gun robbing people's stuff. It isn't in my interest to feed govt any more than they force me to at gun point.
I'm not sure how much money Mr Salatin donated to his political party but I'm sure they'd gladly and would be open to hearing from him on any concerns or recommendations he has to offer.
Joel won’t get into trumps admin because he’s not paying to play. You have to buy your positions in this incoming admin. Biggest grift in history is about to rain down on us. This cabinet will be run by multi millionaires and billionaires.
Rfk jr won’t last. Trump will kick him out eventually.
I disagree. We do not need insiders; we need managers from the outside to ask those simple, difficult questions that make people look at each other. The farm industry has made few positive gains since it became a political organization. As with every organization that has a history of not functioning well the root cause usually is found within. And, the root causes are born of doing the same old things and expecting a different outcome. If you are so sure that you are needed then make contact and feed your opinions. We are sure your contributions would be appreciated. Sometimes you cannot grow a better product by replanting a vine from an existing plant, you need to plow the crop under under and plant a newer breed of innovative seeds. Farming is mostly common sense. critical thinking and a debate inclusive of a wide range of business experiences. If your industry disagrees with historic performance (status quo) then you are not asking the right questions or the current preferred leadership is using the wrong set of tools to fix the poor performance. One person at the top should be a business manager, not a farm representative sold on short-sighted and biased concepts approved by his peers. a position so small in scale that the biased leadership cannot see the forest for the trees. A strong leader asks questions and listens., a weak leader preaches and looks to install controlling policies. The former is a manager the latter is a boss. A manager manages people and a boss manages projects... you probably should be looking for a manager who manages outcomes starting at the end goal and working backward to an action plan then finding the people who are qualified to move the plan into productive critically time-controlled strategies and tactics always pointed at the end goal. There are a lot of good people that have great ideas absent management and communication skills. The name of the game is the ability to communicate and be surrounded by the necessary non-political expertise. Selling the concept that US farmers will be out of business by 2040 (a certain time) and, thereafter all food will be imported at a higher cost without meeting basic safety conditions is a strong example of the size and scale of the problem that a well-managed team has the detailed answers to. A manager lets his team of experts fill in the blanks and after exhausting debates overseen by the manager have taken place, the solutions will be affordable and rock-solid and the product will have the features that will benefit all Americans long-term therefore easily sold to Congress. The product will be stronger than any opposing political objection, if not, you have chosen the wrong manager and your manager has chosen the wrong team of experts.
She was only chosen because she had some Ag background but was a major Trump supporter and had to reward her. Sadly like some of his other picks. Not for the best of the country but just payback.
Ag background as in she's likely to be supporting big Ag over the little guy?
Or a more holistic ag background?
@@priestesslucy she was in FFA, her HS just retired her jacket. Her family shows cows. Went to West Texas A&M. Dont know about big or holistic Ag, just some ties to FFA.
The very reason Massey wasn't picked. He called out T man on some issues. He was 100% correct doing it.
Sounds like just another self adulating dummy
Masse might have banned Kosher food. Would have been a Masseive Solution to The Problem...
lol that ad campaign against him did nothing. He said he told the radio stations to run the ads as often as they can to drain their money.
Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me, Trump screwed his base the first time around looks like he'll do it again.
Trump has been a huge disappointment on his appointments. Tulsi & RFK are the ONLY two he has placed worth anything. And the new USDA girl was in FFA as a kid. Her husband is a big hedge fund....Ya we farmers are getting the shit slung at us again.
