Bless these farmers! Hopefully we learn some lessons after this pandemic and we can improve our food distribution and supply chain systems. But without farmers there’s no food. Hopefully more consumers become educated. We need our local farmers especially
Very interesting! As someone who worked in a spinning mill before, I need to say that 29 and 36 are really coarse wool actually... 20/21/22 is used for clothing, 29 might be ok for pullovers... but 36 is too scratchy to wear!
The fact that they handle it with so much respect impressed me! If we did that with nature all around the world, we wouldn't be in this global warming crisis. But man is too greedy. Most caring for their riches over humanity. They could care less what happens beyond their life span.
@@deewynn Its not what is seems in the video... Im from Alentejo. I already worked in cork extraction and gather, and some people respect the trees only because of the rules and the laws that are on the extraction or the orders of who own the land, but most of man dont really love and respect nature... From cigars thrown to the middle of the forest (montado) to calling bad adjectives to really ancient trees (300 400 yo) just because they have round forms or hard curves to take the cork... that says a lot... Anyway, i guess everyone forgot that we all love nature, and must do.
If you can afford wool, I 100% recommend them, the blankets are so soft and warms me up in the harshest winters. Also the wool sweaters are just an aesthetic.
This is one reason why my family reuses the same old fake tree year after year until it literally falls apart. I'm amazed how many people still use real trees then toss them....
@@ogkendrick6392 First of all don't blame ALMIGHTY GOD for something people do . Second it's a celebration of hope if you don't have one that's your problem but people like us do have hope in ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST . So don't go out putting out your sadist review on everyone you can simply ignore it .
about the wool production, my mom always tells me to buy clothes made of wool or at least contains some percentage of wool. I found them more expensive for sure. But I believe wool products should be popular
@@liorsinger1 well, just after Christmas season, they are straight sent to the trash. I never used plastic trees aswell. I remember always cutting only a branch of a tree and making it a Christmas tree
Lots of sad Agricultural losses due to Covid. And the last story about the Rockefeller Christmas Tree is crazy! I can't imagine asking a family to donate their One & Only Prize tree growing on their lawn for a few weeks of display! What a terrible tradition!
The government has billions of dollars that it can feed everyone within the United States in itself that suffers with hunger. Forgotten harvest and many churches should always give out potatoes all year round because if nothing else people can you know make mashed potatoes bake them fry them whatever just to not be hungry. To implicate what cost money is a selfish aspect when you're with a country that's one of the riches is not a third world country so people are very thoughtless and not compassionate of world hunger. 👎🏼🤬🤔😵🤦🏻♀️
Funny how religious fanatics act like they are ultimately generous. Blessing complete strangers not even asking if they are believers. So easy to pretend you are benevolent, giving something when there is nothing beyond cheap talk . If you are anxious to be giving ,please be kind enough to give people what they want and what they need. Get some help psychologically when you lie to yourself about being generous and you really are not giving anything. Keep your cheap talk to yourself . Most people look after their own spiritual necessities. Who needs yours bogus generosity more than you.
@@eijonasson Hey E. E. If you are are stressed or having anxious thoughts you can find rest in Jesus Christ. The Bible says... Matthew 11: 28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” If you want to experience this peace that surpasses all of our understanding it can only come through a relationship with the Savior Jesus Christ. Philippians 4:7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. If you are ever interested in coming to Christ, the Bible says... Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. I pray that you too will one day have the same hope we have. Not so much that your life on earth will be better (though it will be) but so that you will inherit eternal life with all those who trust in Jesus to save them on the final day. Take care, Adam

😯 Wow. What an Important News Reporting Piece this is. This would be a helpful and effective tool to keep kids engaged and aid in classroom discussion when this would apply the lesson plan and curriculum. Honestly from what I watched and heard it’s packed full of options to apply to just about every years curriculum, somewhere. Not too mention all the other goodies to help educate our lovely 🥰 children’s minds about and how it affects us now and in the future. Idk 🤷♀️ something really struck a chord with me here. To see the ripple down effect of our actions and the importance of our choices that have an effect on others near and far. Possibly ALL over the world. Matter of Fact our Choices DO EFFECT the People, Animals, and The World!!!! In VERY BAD WAYS, WAKE UP PEOPLE!! Stop WAITING for someone else to change your ways for the better.
I couldn't agree more! I was taught about bushels and pecks, and rotating crops etc., but now they don't even teach anything about sustainable crops. They're being over-whelmed with global warming, and haven't the slightest idea about how to go about slowing it down. I'm 60 years old, so it's a whole new ballgame in our schools, from when I went. Not everyone is going into the tech field. We need farmers, and trades people. The kids these days think they're going to make millions, by having people give you likes, and subs. Life doesn't work out like that for everybody. We're becoming a world of self-indulgence, and we're going to hell in a hand-basket(as they used to say). It's just sad. Peace
Every day farmers must care about their land. In every way its the massive corporate run farms like a gates farm that woukd ruin/destroy the environment for profigs like locusts across the land. Sustainability was and is a concept God put into his laws and statutes…the green movement today is like the anything else that garners an emotional response- used to make people think its good so they wont look closely as the small print.
We used to but it all got outsourced now us kiwis can't afford a quality, renewable and environmentally friendly fiber that can be used for so many things; from clothing to insulation to carpets to biodegradable packaging etc :( I trawl secondhand stores and purchase as much 100 percent nz wool garments as possible- it's warmth is superior to anything else as well as the fact that when it sheds fibers during the wash, they aren't like polyester which is plastic and ends up in the foods we eat.
I'm sure the farmers would love to, but that would add another expense while they aren't earning money. If the government had the heart to fund it it could happen, but let's be real, that's unlikely
It breaks my heart ❤️ to see all those potatoes 🥔 going to waste with all the hungry people in the USA 🇺🇸!!!!!if this ever happens again, I’m in Orlando Florida and I could get trucks to you and we could haul potatoes from where you are in the states, but we could organize trucks to haul taters all over!!! You can survive off of just potatoes! Put some shanks in a pot potato au grotin, potatoe soup!!!!!we could feed a lot of hungry people ❤️🙏😎
Seriously I thought I was gonna lose it seeing all that food going to waste. I get that giving the potatoes away might not be profitable but how is wasting it better? At least if you donate you could get a tax write off or something. As long as you can get volunteers for all that transport. Or just work something out with communities. Don't get me wrong I know it's a kind of situation where there's no easy solution. I'm sure shipping it to starving people in the US or in different countries would also be expensive, but at least you could do some good.

Donating this amount of food to the poor all over the world would be a charitable act beyond imagination. I’m sure many charity organizations would find ways to handle it
For the sheep they acctually need to sharpen the blades every 15 minutes because a dull blade will acctually cut a sheep and if you cut a sheep as a Shearer that's a big issue. Infection can set in and sheep can dye some places and with a farm this size with this many sheep infection is very possible and once disease sets in it can be hard to stop
@@thehapavegan7177 infection would appear like a human's infection a first, swollen from the area, pinky red surrounding it, continously getting worse, if it's the immediate following day then probably not a issue but most farmers keep a purple spray (cant remember the real name) in the barn that they can spray any cuts or gashes, but the spray stains skin even
I'm so glad I was left at my grand parents house as a child when my parents worked. I learned Portuguese from my father's side, and Spanish from my mother's side. Knowing Portuguese obviously allowed me to learned Brazilian very easily. Knowing Spanish allowed me to know and learn Cuban/Puerto Rican/Mexian, as well as understanding a large majority of south American languages. Having a Hungarian/Czech girlfriend got me to try and learn those two languages. But honestly speaking, I only understand about 10% Czech and Hungarian, but I can deduce what's being said from that 10%. As an American, I love the ability to go to another country/culture, sit down by a local in a bar and have a conversation with them having no idea I'm from America. I've definitely lost my ability to learn languages, which is why I'm so glad my babysitters were my grandparents. Because I was able to absorb it all without any effort. If you have a child, I recommend teaching them languages at a young age because it will open up the world for them in the future, even though they might hate learning it at the time.
There are uses, you could make ethanol for fuel or sanatizer or make bio gas... The thing is, can you sill make it profitable when you take shipping, transport and labour into account even if the farmers will 'happily' give away the potatoes for free since it saves the cost of burying them?
What isnt mentioned is if the farmer sells the seed potatoes to starch or alcohol makers they loose their permits to sell as seed potatoes. Why they need the liscenses is in northern farms they have a lower grow season so grow seed instead of full service potatoes. How about deregulation, get rid of the regulation and waste lowers.
UN, FAO and all the world countries should think about developing a logistics network that will redistribute excess production from one part of the world to parts of world where people who are suffering in hunger. This will help the world in a great way. Seeing the potato's dumped in US, paddy and wheat stocks let to rot in India while millions go to bed with hunger is really a hard thing to digest.
If you have the money to spend, look for yarn and garments made from NZ wool. One very nice kiwi brand that is produced and made in NZ is Glowing Skies - too expensive for me as a local but many international buyers buy and enjoy :) Wild South is also a brand made with NZ wool, fine spun merino! If you're feeling fancy, get yourself some merino possum socks, they're like clouds and help to reduce brushtail possum numbers here as they're a pest and kill our native bird species.
One of the best quotes and sayings of all time matches this thought... ( "gardens are not made By singing: "Oh, how beautiful!" and sitting in the shade." )
Maybe make bags for groceries stores to use.. with the course wool... make them with robots. No plastic a plus. Able to find a use and not have to throw it away also a plus,
Very interesting. Wool is so much better for the environment. It lasts longer, better quality than synthetic materials. I think people are turning back to more sustainable resources.
We in Tamil nadu, S.India, produce enormous qty of coconuts. I invite scientists to teach us value addition in coconuts so that our farmer may get additional benefits.
This Compilation of Big business, is very enlighting in countries that are food scarce like Colombia. Good ideas to learn to apply here at their due time.
They ought to sell their wool to native Americans or other groups that make beautiful rugs, saddle blankets etc. It’s probably smart to not send most of your exports to any one country.
There are a number of places in this world with little to no government. You should move there and see how you like it. It may agree with you and your world views better.
e-commerce!!!! That's what you guys need. Implant the whole clothing industry in NZ and export the final product done. You guys should go vertical industry in your own region, right now!
@@winebarimunsi4732 It is not. NZ is a very important exporting country of agro products all over Asia. What they need is to change their export strategy to meet changing demands. I consider NZ a very good country with great potential. The people (the kiwis) there are wonderful.
I've been screaming about reviving the wool industry here in NZ for years. It breaks my heart to see the devoted farmers of this wonder fiber struggle and sell up. Putting all our eggs in the Chinese basket as well as allowing all textile production to be outsourced overseas is a hideous mistake and to me, criminal.

That Rockefeller tree is a very nice tradition.. but why not just plant a permanent tree there. It will be a nice ,green little piece of forest all year around and when Xmas comes around you just light it up. And since it can stand alone I'm the middle of that place it will absolutely grow up to be a perfect "Disney style " Xmas tree
So informative video.Thank you.about the Christmas tree why can't place a living tree and remove it back again.very sorry to see the potatoes go rot as we have to buy them at high price and people at place go hungry.thanks again
We grow those simply in northern America states. It grows wild, and the trees produce oxygen for the planet reducing the pollution and co2 levels that are rising. In the end, think about what the trees do for the planet, not just the economic part of it.
Okay but they totally should've donated all those potatoes instead of throwing them away... people are starving in our own country here in the US. Edit: all of these companies should be allowed/told to donate the excess... so much waste and overconsumption aftermath 😔
Why can't they donate these products such as potatoes and wool that aren't selling to charity? All this food, all this clothing material could literally be used for the poor without putting much cost because poor people don't demand standards. If there's a problem with shipping cost then let the charity/donation company handle them, you just provide. Spending money to waste and dump things rather than spending money to give them to humans that will ultimately boost economy in poor countries.
Millions of people are dying due to food scarcity, I think they can earn happiness of a lot of people by donating them potatoes specially in underdeveloped countries where people don't have anything to eat.
The only country/company in this video that didn't throw away, kill/dispose ' ' deliberately but was creative in its product was Portugal, well done 4 been creative thinking on there feet; Cork can b used 4 insulation of large cold storage unit
Bless these farmers! Hopefully we learn some lessons after this pandemic and we can improve our food distribution and supply chain systems. But without farmers there’s no food. Hopefully more consumers become educated. We need our local farmers especially

I love Portugal and the Portuguese people I hope we remain the longest lasting alliance until the end of time! 🇬🇧 🏴
Donating this amount of food to the poor all over the world would be a charitable act beyond imagination. I’m sure many charity organizations would find ways to handle it
For the sheep they acctually need to sharpen the blades every 15 minutes because a dull blade will acctually cut a sheep and if you cut a sheep as a Shearer that's a big issue. Infection can set in and sheep can dye some places and with a farm this size with this many sheep infection is very possible and once disease sets in it can be hard to stop
What colour?
@@thehapavegan7177 infection would appear like a human's infection a first, swollen from the area, pinky red surrounding it, continously getting worse, if it's the immediate following day then probably not a issue but most farmers keep a purple spray (cant remember the real name) in the barn that they can spray any cuts or gashes, but the spray stains skin even
We all hope & Pray the rebound is quick and sustaining. We all love you this much!
I'm so glad I was left at my grand parents house as a child when my parents worked. I learned Portuguese from my father's side, and Spanish from my mother's side.
Knowing Portuguese obviously allowed me to learned Brazilian very easily.
Knowing Spanish allowed me to know and learn Cuban/Puerto Rican/Mexian, as well as understanding a large majority of south American languages.
Having a Hungarian/Czech girlfriend got me to try and learn those two languages. But honestly speaking, I only understand about 10% Czech and Hungarian, but I can deduce what's being said from that 10%.
As an American, I love the ability to go to another country/culture, sit down by a local in a bar and have a conversation with them having no idea I'm from America.
I've definitely lost my ability to learn languages, which is why I'm so glad my babysitters were my grandparents. Because I was able to absorb it all without any effort.
If you have a child, I recommend teaching them languages at a young age because it will open up the world for them in the future, even though they might hate learning it at the time.
There has got to be an industrial use of potato starch to avoid this massive loss.
There are uses, you could make ethanol for fuel or sanatizer or make bio gas...
The thing is, can you sill make it profitable when you take shipping, transport and labour into account even if
the farmers will 'happily' give away the potatoes for free since it saves the cost of burying them?
It can be used in the hair and skin products industry too...
What isnt mentioned is if the farmer sells the seed potatoes to starch or alcohol makers they loose their permits to sell as seed potatoes. Why they need the liscenses is in northern farms they have a lower grow season so grow seed instead of full service potatoes. How about deregulation, get rid of the regulation and waste lowers.
@@shyla4us That is both hilarious and very sad. Is that some government stupidity or Monsanto like corporate tactic?
@@shyla4us yup they have to pay to regrow their own potatoes because the patent laws are so screwed up.
Please make more marathons of videos in this channel! I love watching them with my friend
I love how the wool turned into..how environmentally friendly❤️
I've always wanted cork flooring in my dream tiny home
UN, FAO and all the world countries should think about developing a logistics network that will redistribute excess production from one part of the world to parts of world where people who are suffering in hunger. This will help the world in a great way. Seeing the potato's dumped in US, paddy and wheat stocks let to rot in India while millions go to bed with hunger is really a hard thing to digest.
What can we do to help the people in New Zealand? Buy a wool blanket where the wool came from New Zealand?
Don't, New Zeland failed at farming because they only sell wool to China
I buy natural wool yarn for knitting. Coarse, fine, it all can be used
If you have the money to spend, look for yarn and garments made from NZ wool. One very nice kiwi brand that is produced and made in NZ is Glowing Skies - too expensive for me as a local but many international buyers buy and enjoy :) Wild South is also a brand made with NZ wool, fine spun merino! If you're feeling fancy, get yourself some merino possum socks, they're like clouds and help to reduce brushtail possum numbers here as they're a pest and kill our native bird species.
“Farming isn’t that easy”
I don’t know bro, trashing mountains of potatoes sounds like the pinnacle of fun.
One of the best quotes and sayings of all time matches this thought... ( "gardens are not made By singing: "Oh, how beautiful!" and sitting in the shade." )
1-0 you
Maybe make bags for groceries stores to use.. with the course wool... make them with robots. No plastic a plus. Able to find a use and not have to throw it away also a plus,
First sheep in the video: "Please, no, have mercy. I have a family!"
Aw...th pure sheep is nakee
Very interesting. Wool is so much better for the environment. It lasts longer, better quality than synthetic materials. I think people are turning back to more sustainable resources.
We in Tamil nadu, S.India, produce enormous qty of coconuts. I invite scientists to teach us value addition in coconuts so that our farmer may get additional benefits.
This is really a phenomenal material.
This Compilation of Big business, is very enlighting in countries that are food scarce like Colombia. Good ideas to learn to apply here at their due time.
Buying wool yarn is expensive - I stopped buying synthetic years ago.
Bless you! Wonder product isn't it, wool? Love the stuff, just wish it wasn't so prohibitively expensive.
The pork section made me glad I live in an area of Louisiana were the majority of meat is locally raised and processed.
You can turn the potatoes into vodka, or send them to pig farms
The potato story is heart breaking, I hope things get better 😞💖
I feel sorry for the potato
I started working at a grocery store in the beginning of the pandemic and everyone used say “these potatoes are $3.99!?!?” They cant believe it😂
When I was at my local grocery the other day, the potatoes - a 10# bag of regular russet potatoes were 7.49 each!
They ought to sell their wool to native Americans or other groups that make beautiful rugs, saddle blankets etc. It’s probably smart to not send most of your exports to any one country.
It's cheaper to send large amount to one place than sending small amount to multiple places will cost more.
Bring your pork here in philipines we have pork shortage in our country !
The potateos you can make it as a fertilizer
And vodka!!!!
Biofuel!
There is a fertilizer shortage. If they could they would
the loss of these large farm crops shows why we need local farmers and processors , at one time my hometown had 3 packing houses now there are none
They named the owl after the company that cut down it's nest. That's ballsy.
Time of video this happens at?
Glad to hear trees being called "his"
Millions of people are starving here we are trowing away tons of potatos.
Like any other year food production could feed 10 billion people
Omg the sheep sheerer grinding with no eye pro... the day he goes to the emergency room to get a sliver out of his eye is inevitable.
Moral of the story: whatever the govt touches, it burns
There are a number of places in this world with little to no government. You should move there and see how you like it. It may agree with you and your world views better.
The Spanish examples don't appear to support that hypnosis
My pp
e-commerce!!!! That's what you guys need. Implant the whole clothing industry in NZ and export the final product done. You guys should go vertical industry in your own region, right now!
Almost makes you think new Zealand is a joke for a country...
@@winebarimunsi4732 It is not. NZ is a very important exporting country of agro products all over Asia. What they need is to change their export strategy to meet changing demands. I consider NZ a very good country with great potential. The people (the kiwis) there are wonderful.
I've been screaming about reviving the wool industry here in NZ for years. It breaks my heart to see the devoted farmers of this wonder fiber struggle and sell up. Putting all our eggs in the Chinese basket as well as allowing all textile production to be outsourced overseas is a hideous mistake and to me, criminal.
@@outlandishfishknight2307 Totally agree with you! And, I am not from NZ but I have huge respect for the quality achievements of the NZ hard-working people. They all deserve better.
Hey, let's make an ARTIFICIAL XMAS TREE and RE-USE it every year! We can even stick some real conifer brunches into it for the smell, so not to cut huge very slow-growing living tree every year for fun & reduce carbon footprint of transportation to boot! 🙌
Rockefeller Foundation: Nah, I have the money; don't care about anything else~
Yeah,let's have Chinese slave laborers create a tree out of petroleum that needs to be shipped across the world and then breaks down and emits carcinogens into our environment over it's entire life span. Or, we could use a natural tree that regrows.
@@dherman0001 lol did I mentioned any Chinese?
...oh what? You automatically jumped to shipping from China... Does it mean your very advanced country cannot even create a simple X-mas tree by itself nowadays... you know, by recycling your own plastic waste, for example... instead of shipping it TO China? Pity~
@@BLAQFiniks Enjoy your plastic tree and keep up your support for Nazis!
@@dherman0001 Jesus! Stop putting *your* words/thoughts into MY mouth~ I'm thoroughly unimpressed by whatever mush there is in you skull, so further discussion - even if it may be called as such, which I doubt, since you just flank baseless accusations at me - is mute~ 😕😒
@@BLAQFiniks Sure thing Lefty! You're not in a cult at all. Men can become women and socialism works, it just hasn't been done correctly. Enjoy your fake petroleum tree made with forced labor! Screw the American that breaks his back tending to real trees. They are Trump voters anyway. Save the climate instead of saving Fascists!
(The thought process of the average Democrat)
Please hang in there!!! I love wool...it will come back it's better for the environment...
*The economic hardship , recession , unemployment and the loss of job caused by covid pandemic is enough to push people into financial ventures*
Summer is here again with lots of activities to be enjoyed . Well , I'm taking a voyage into investing because I lost so much during this pandemic . Multi creation of wealth is the best strategy to ensure financial sustainability.
Nice content mate! So happy to announce that I have gained financial freedom by investing in digital currency . Now I know that multi creation of various streams of income is the ideal Principle for financial sustainability.
I have secured financial freedom by investing in bonds , equities , EFT's and some digital currencies .
I'm diversifying myself and recently I added Crypto to my portfolio because of the recent dip in price .I'd say "think like a bear and invest like a bull".
@@christy6359 I wanted to invest more in Crypto but the fluctuations in Crypto value discouraged me into dumping .
These potatoes would help some poor people out there in the world, sad so much have to waste .
*Thanks for sharing , Great information 😍👍*
GOD BLESS our farmers !! 🙏
Wow just learned wool is fire resistant
That Rockefeller tree is a very nice tradition.. but why not just plant a permanent tree there. It will be a nice ,green little piece of forest all year around and when Xmas comes around you just light it up. And since it can stand alone I'm the middle of that place it will absolutely grow up to be a perfect "Disney style " Xmas tree
Potatoes can't be used as compost, they become harmful.
the farmer is our life line we need to take care of them !!!
You can produce alcohol fuel grade alcohol not drinking alcohol for about $0.40 a gallon including the container
Why didn't they do that with those potatoes 🤔
Don't worry cheap wool means cheap insulation meaning increased demand for construction which will drive up the price
So informative video.Thank you.about the Christmas tree why can't place a living tree and remove it back again.very sorry to see the potatoes go rot as we have to buy them at high price and people at place go hungry.thanks again
Potatoes aren't expensive lol
Belcampo on that nipsey hussle business acumen! Salute!
I’m still mad about the Christmas tree
We grow those simply in northern America states. It grows wild, and the trees produce oxygen for the planet reducing the pollution and co2 levels that are rising. In the end, think about what the trees do for the planet, not just the economic part of it.
😡🎉🎄🎁🎉
damn did they really kill that 75 ft tree
Impressive and informative 👍👍
Okay but they totally should've donated all those potatoes instead of throwing them away... people are starving in our own country here in the US.
Edit: all of these companies should be allowed/told to donate the excess... so much waste and overconsumption aftermath 😔
We need those in cali :,( potatoes are up almost 150% where I live
Fund them. Theyll be happy to send it to you.
That is more proof that California is overpopulated.
Why can't they donate these products such as potatoes and wool that aren't selling to charity? All this food, all this clothing material could literally be used for the poor without putting much cost because poor people don't demand standards. If there's a problem with shipping cost then let the charity/donation company handle them, you just provide.
Spending money to waste and dump things rather than spending money to give them to humans that will ultimately boost economy in poor countries.
Pretty good content!
Millions of people are dying due to food scarcity, I think they can earn happiness of a lot of people by donating them potatoes specially in underdeveloped countries where people don't have anything to eat.
There was no capacity to move that volume.
I'm 35 years old and just realized I never eat lamb before
Missing out
Seriously missing out
What a beautiful sight- a horse mounted rider followed by dogs that herd sheep or cattle.
37:05 No, you can’t kill my tree for the amusement of rich people celebrating their imaginary friend’s birthday. Now get off my property.
the owl be like
I love the sound of them pulling the bark of the tree
So satisfying watching this. Thank you Business Insider Team. Good job!
Lesson: Don’t shut down the country when it doesn’t need to be shut down.
The only country/company in this video that didn't throw away, kill/dispose ' ' deliberately but was creative in its product was Portugal, well done 4 been creative thinking on there feet; Cork can b used 4 insulation of large cold storage unit
@Johnny Michoacan ; My man !! read between the lines ,' ' be creative '' all those farmers are stuck in 1same rail tracks
@Johnny Michoacan Do I have 2 spell it out , just✔ b creative!!
I am educated more now.Thank you .💜❤️💚
