Missouri Farmer: 'A Decision Had to Be Made'

[BoudiccaBlanc]

It was a hard decision by the Corps.

The danger for the farmland is not that it's flooded; that is nature's way. For thousands of years the rivers flooded these areas and left rich soil which makes for good farm land.

It's what is in the flood waters that mess up the farmland and make it unusable: Petroleum products, raw sewage, chemicals, etc. Some of these are very toxic and can not be removed from the soil.

(Unfortunately, regarding housing; people rebuild in flood plains.)

Moses - Yes HAARP along with 250 tons of explosives did this, and HAARP has been used to do all the quakes, floods, etc. of the recent past. There is NO reason for any of this. Except to divide and conquor Americans for total control ! I like your idea about rounding up all of the DC dictatorship and putting them in their own FEMA camps ! Sounds like a good plan. But seriously HAARP must be disabled if this globe we are on is to survive. They plan to rule the world with HAARP. Haiti; Japan-

We can all thank the parasitical israeli foreign policy in the US and all over the globe. All government officials should be rounded up and put in fema camps just like they had planned for us. The end is near for israel!!

[moses737]

Did our governments HAARP weather modification machine do all of these floodings and earthquakes and tornadoes; and later, hurricanes? Probably!! Why? So that they can instill fear and psychological warfare against the American people who want to remain free. And the International Bankers/Illuminati kingpins want to form their One World Luciferic Government, where they will make you their slaves. As they will try to force you to take their zombie making and mind contrlling mark of the beast chip

[ctwatcher]

@moses737 No Fear! Don't buy it! 

[ANIMALAURA9]

So.... I guess they will plant rice next?

[oragami76]

just keep eating the shit ur governments been shoveling.....HA!!!!!~and some one tell that sissy at the end of the vid to man the fuck up. this country was doomed from the start...seet deh!!!

[coolmamac]

I lived in MO in a farming area. I am crying along with the farmers today. That land was feeding a lot of Americans.

[XDisk]

This is bad for the farmers in the short term, but the flood waters will actually help fertilize the soil for the future.

[pffbh]

Start storing food or you'll regret it ..

[irishslave51]

Destroy the farmland. Starve the people. Ship the jobs overseas. Make the people destitute and homeless. Use the media to continually lie and psy op. Is anybody sick of this shit yet?

[TheWaterlily2012]

Worthless was what they "saved". It's a war on White, middle-class America and you all better figure it out. Notice how the media NEVER tells the race (if it is black) of a murderer, rapist or robber in the news. Look up that poor cheerleader in TX who was ORDERED by the court to cheer for her disgusting black rapist on the football team and now she has to pay the school 45,000 for court costs! Always remember Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom! Those good parents of them suffer forever!

[StSimonMartyr]

War has been declared on these farmers.

The Bread basket of America is gone, or is going.

Those making snide remarks and laughing at the misery here are government shills and Zio freaks, demented satanists.

Playing GOD with this viable land, rather than letting nature run its course, for Agribusiness and corporate interests.

And the rest of AmeriKa is asleep, celebrating bin Ladens phony death, or watching Talmud vision TV or Porn.

Lovely culture isnt it?

We deserve that we permit.

[JMahaz]

Look after ur farmers the war machine of america fight in many ways.

[finefilth]

small farmers are the # 1 enemy of NWO elites......you see, the farmers dont need them and have the ability to raise their own capital... millions were killed in the russia and eastern europe for their crime of independence

[aerosol16]

1:26 lets milk the man's pain now, can't forget the money shot

[SouthernManX]

Was this racially motivated? Remember the charges of racism concerning the levees in 'Orleans after Katrina? Perhaps the last thing the government wanted was a bunch of black people in flood waters yelling about racism on T.V.? I've been to Cairo, Illinois. It is majority black and an absolute dump. Crime is three to four times the national average in a town of 2800 people. The gov ruined 100,000+ acres of good farmland and good homes (owned by whites) for a welfare dump?!

[oragami76]

@SouthernManX ur mothers a welfare dump...HA!!!!

[oragami76]

THIS IS THE DESTINY U MONKEYS MANIFESTED........HA!!!!

[ANIMALAURA9]

@SouthernManX You said "It is majority black ...Crime is three to four times the national average..." So WHY IS THAT??? WHY DO BLACKS HAVE TO BE MORE CRIMINAL THAN WHITES?? WHAT IS THEIR EXCUSE FOR SUCH BEHAVIOR??"

[HOUNDDAWG]

@SouthernManX I thought that too (Cairo is filled with welfare loafers waiting for their checks) but if you look at the map Cairo is at the bottom of a "dog leg" and flooding it would have accomplished nothing. Blowing their levees may have forced water from the MISS into the OHIO River or vice versa, and the net effect would have been no drop down stream. The only way to (possibly-hopefully) affect the level was to route water across lots of land below the junction of both rivers.

[blueiguy1]

@SouthernManX The problem is that the Government DID flood New Orleans back in the early 1900's before because of racism. Second the farmers KNEW this could happen because this was a flood plain. I was written along time ago. So stop with the "white plight" Shit . The farms will recover.

[nastynik123]

@blueiguy1 The farmers knew this could happen and built a levee with their money to protect their land but the government came in and decided who was more important What if a million dollar mansion that was on the farmer's side so the price of the land was more valuable, who should of been flooded then? If they would of let both levees be breached then the government wouldnt have to give the farmers compensation for their loss, now they do so it will cost the american tax payer more. Part 1

[nastynik123]

@blueiguy1 The people in Cairo, IL knew that this could happen too so why should they have been spared? Let the levees be breached and who ever built the higher one wins. It really bothers me that the government can decide who's home gets saved and who's doesn't. I don't have much sympathy for people in natural disasters such as these, sure it sucks that it happened and I don't wish it on them but living in certain areas is a risk to it and you should pay financially to protect yourself.

[blueiguy1]

@nastynik123 Because the farmers knew it would happen. The plan was, in this case that this type of action would take place. So by your very point the farmers should be held responsible because they knew it would happen not the other way around. I really hate it for the farmers but this was a part of the land and had been written in action some decades ago,they just never had this situation before. When the farmers buy flood plain land there is always the risk ,you speak of .

[nastynik123]

@blueiguy1 But my problem is with the government deciding who's land gets flooded and who's doesn't. Now the government has to pay for all the farmers land when they could of let the levees do their thing and see who's levee would of held out longer. Then the people who knew the dangers of living in a flood plain would of still got flooded but the government doesn't have an obligation to pay for the people land. Why take money from New York and give it to Missouri farmers for living in high risk

[lizza1984]

@SouthernManX You stupid ass, it was a matter of cost! A little farm land which can be replanted or billions of dollars in infrustucture, further down the river. My god your a dumb ass!

[Fastestpussycat]

This is GREAT ! Google Prince Charles Tells Americans To Cut Down On Steak...to save the world.About a million cows were killed in Texas with the fires and now this! Yippee ! That's a lot less cow farts warming the planet.Prince Charles also says Americans must conserve water! He also had a campaign called Snub The Tub!You Americans are outvoted in the UN and IMF by the British Commonwealth (54 Nations) in the UN.Now you yanks are going to have to obey The Great Prince Charles UN! Stop Co2!

[irishslave51]

@Fastestpussycat No one and I repeat no one has more respect for the land than farmers. Prince Charles? why would you bow to the crown? They have murdered more people than Pol Pot. Starved my ancestors to death. Do you have any idea what it is like to starve to death? A miserable, painful, ugly way to die. Think before you shoot off your fucking mouth while you still have some food to put in it. Bloody fucking moron

[markusass]

@irishslave51 Starved your ancestors to death??? Eh? If you have a family of 12 trying to live on only one type of food i.e: potatoes, and the crop fails, then you're asking for trouble. What's that got to do with the Brit monarchy?

[markusass]

@irishslave51 You're certifiable. I'd book yourself into the nearest psychiatric practice pronto, because you have serious mental problems judging by what you've written. As for keeping the British monarchy alive with Oirish potatoes, well, you've given me the biggest laugh for a month. Keep it up.

[PorMansGold]

The Media is being quite about this Fact. Corn will be in short supply this year because of late planting and lack of Carryover. Yields are being lost everday it stays wet and cold in the Midwest. It will take fuel to dry the corn in the fall due to late planting. Animal feed is comprised mostly of Corn. Meat prices will rise drastically. mn8aol thinks homes are more important than wildlife and the land we raise food on. Try eating your home when your hungry buddy.

[PorMansGold]

Why did they exploded the levee at night? So the public couldn't film the animals and wildlife drown. No One Mentions this.

[Fastestpussycat]

@PorMansGold .It's more terrifying that way! SWAT teams always show up at night wearing black masks.Those unaffected will just watch Television "News" porn,and a football game while filling their fat faces with msg products and soft plastic bottles that leech female hormones in their fat cells waiting for the next sabotage.The news porn girl will say it's all normal and they will go back to sleep waiting for the fires like in Texas,or a levee drowning them.They are stupid from watching TeeVee

[cool70200]

ouch, hit our food supply :(

[1Guitarslayer]

@VajinalBloodFart LOL you won't be cockslapping anyone with that bloody vagina...

fuck off fart boii, I guess you squat to pee

[wayinoutreach]

The face of GREED is very ugly! I'll bet the flour stocks rose the moment that was blown!! Buy now while you still can afford it. Jesus Saves!!!

[0nlyTheyWhoSee]

....So I finally get to see the fields and ares and the people affected by the blasts.... :( Breaks my heart. God bless those poor farmers...

[MrDatonedude]

loooks like asia

[hoosierhiver]

farmers always get screwed

[IQXS]

Houses, buildings CITIES can be raised again...this precious farmland...that gave us sustenance for LIFE ITSELF cannot be replaced. As the farmer said they DON'T KNOW what has now happened to the land. IT'S A CRAP SHOOT! We ALL should be crying! This was WRONG and history will prove it so! Supporters can go eat the bricks on the sidewalks of Cairo, IL when the food is no longer plentiful for what they have done to the sacred LAND. Wake up people. This is the FIRST of many to come.

[insertclichename]

@IQXS

This sort of thing happens all the time on flood plains, which is what the land around the Mississippi River are. The land is good for farming because flood waters bring new nutrients and soil into the area. The farmers know this and actually hope for such events, although this one seems to be more destructive than they would have wished, but nature still does its job. The next harvest is likely to be very good because of this flood.

[IQXS]

@insertclichename Thank you...yes, we have been reminded of the ways of nature by others, and we agree. But on this occasion Nature had nothing to do with the huge inundation of water...there is process to everything. This water was tainted in a plethora of ways...it is now going to the water table. Recently we walked the flood path of the Johnstown Flood of 1889...it was an eye opener. Things don't just "fix" as quickly as we'd wish. Again, thank you for your post.

[insertclichename]

@IQXS

Johnstown killed 2,200 people. Nobody died when they blew the levees in Missouri. As well, it's just farm land. It will recover quickly.

[wayinoutreach]

@IQXS They did the same kind of damage to the most fertile land in northern California a few years back when they cut their water off. That was to perserve the habitat of a few minnows. Turned the land into vurtual desert. Food shortage drives the prices up & those who can't afford it will starve to death. There will be no Food Banks because the people will hoard what they have & perhaps kill for yours too. Very bad times ahead for this world. Jesus Saves!!!

[jct3636]

i bet it won't be long from now that the people will wish the farmers were still growing there food instead of big croprations

[1Guitarslayer]

whats he crying about? He'll be made whole by us taxpayers, I'm sick of paying these guys to not grow crops, these farmers are as bad as the unions.

[MidwayCastaway]

Sad very sad..

[mn8aol]

THE STATE'S DISREGARD FOR PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS FOR THE SAKE OF THE GREATER GOOD OR COLLECTIVE, IS COMMUNISM, NOT ANYTHING NEAR WHAT THIS COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED UPON. A GENERATION JUST A FEW YEARS AGO UNDERSTOOD THIS. SHAME ON THE CORP OF ENGINEEERS! TRAITORS!

[insertclichename]

@mn8aol

So you're saying you would have preferred hundreds of peoples homes be destroyed by floods as opposed to just some land being flooded? It's you that doesn't seem to understand what this country was founded on.

[mn8aol]

@insertclichename -- So what you are saying is that the interests of the majority can coerce the rights of the individual? Is averting the loss of "hundreds of homes" at the expense of the rights of individual something our Government saw in terms of saving federal dollars? The history of the Soviet Union should be required reading in the U.S.

[insertclichename]

@mn8aol

No, what they did they did to save lives. Farm land can be reclaimed, lives can not. The whole point of blowing the levees was to relieve pressure on the communities upstream who would otherwise have been inundated by flood waters. Those farmers farm on a flood plain, which is artificially obstructed by levees and dams in an attempt to control the flow of the Mississippi. They're well aware of the risks involved in their ownership of that land, catastrophic flooding being one.

[mn8aol]

@insertclichename -- Grandstanding. 1.) There is plenty of advanced warning of flooding on the big rivers. 2.) Have you ever been to Cairo, IL?

[insertclichename]

@mn8aol

Does it matter? It's still a community. How do you think all the people would feel if they had their property destroyed by the floods as opposed to just some farm land? You'd probably be bitching about how the government didn't do anything to prevent it. It's obvious you've already made up your mind in terms of what you think is right and wrong so I won't bother trying to lecture you on facts of the matters at hand.

[mn8aol]

@insertclichename -- Contempt for private property rights is one of the basic tenants of marxism. It is in direct conflict with the fundamental rights guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution.

[insertclichename]

@mn8aol

You've lost the argument, stop trying, all you're doing now is accusing me of saying something I didn't. I never said I was contemptuous of private property.

[mn8aol]

@insertclichename -- Now you're judge and jury of the debate? Who can argue with a tyrant. You made no defense private property rights either.

[theravenweeps]

@mn8aol It is easy to make your comments from your computer chair, but sometimes people have to make real hard decisions and they were not thinking about you and your opinion when they made them. You are obviously someone who is used to taking orders not giving them. It is harder to be a leader then a follower. Stick to your role in life and let the hard choices be made by those with the education to make them.

[captvanhalen]

@theravenweeps "Stick to your role in life and let the hard choices be made by those with the education to make them."

Spoken like a true Communist. Your day is coming. Your day is coming. We will route you out.

[mn8aol]

@theravenweeps -- U.S. Constitutional law is the ultimate leadership of this nation and every public servant is sworn to obey it. It is within this context that decisions are made. When marxist ideology tests the law and the people remain silent, more than flood victims are affected.

[theravenweeps]

@mn8aol The fact that you still believe all that is what is so sad. Just sad. Oh well, you will be one of the first casualties. Wrapped in your american flag diapers, holding your signs " We have rights, GARSH DARN IT!" Good luck with that. lol

[mn8aol]

@theravenweeps -- The 100,000,000 million men, women and children murdered by communism will be our guides.

[mn8aol]

@theravenweeps -- REVELATION 20:12-14A "AND I SAW THE DEAD, SMALL AND GREAT, STAND BEFORE GOD; AND THE BOOKS WERE OPENED: AND ANOTHER BOOK WAS , WHICH IS THE BOOK OF LIFE; AND THE DEAD WERE JUDGED OUT OF THOSE THINGS WHICH WERE WRITTEN IN THE BOOKS, ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS. AND THE SEA GAVE UP THE DEAD WHICH WERE IN IT; AND DEATH AND HELL DELIVERED UP THE DEAD WHICH WERE IN THEM: AND THEY WERE JUDGED EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS. AND DEATH AND HELL WERE CAST IN TO THE LAKE OF FIRE."

[theravenweeps]

@mn8aol Oh, for crying out loud. Someone blew up a levee, they didn't offend God. Jeez whiz, man. You need a reality check.

[mn8aol]

@theravenweeps -- YOU NEED A DIAPER.

[theravenweeps]

@mn8aol hahaha

[Fastestpussycat]

@theravenweeps They blew it up to save shopping malls built in the"Empowerment Zone".Shopping malls are more important than stupid farm land.Big deal ! The livestock and the humans there are causing global warming.This will teach them a lesson for emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.That atmosphere is in receivership to the banks.The average American family owes approx $630,000 in National debt. Get off the land you hicks.Make way for hi tek corporate agribusiness YAY!

[SharkDude1]

You do know what this means people right? Higher prices at your local store for these crops that where lost.

[MiLSeLrAhC]

just nice for rice, a little more and you can have fishes

[Lilshit61]

poor farmers and their huge government subsidies. next time don't plant on a flood plane dumbass.

[Mojo3192]

@Lilshit61 Ya! Don't farm on the most fertile soil in the nation! It's all your fault the Army Corp of Engineers blew your levee that was holding back flood waters and flooded your land to save other peoples homes up and down river from you!

Who is the real dumbass?

[macreviewer76]

"But it did nothing to ease the risk of more trouble down river. (May 4)" (description) well then I guess this is bullshit.... runing those farmer's lives and it didnt even work...

[ninadbhatt]

@macreviewer76 its sure is sad....but i doubt if this will ruin their lives. will be tough for a while but, trust me things are pretty god damn tough for everyone. I hope millionaires and billionairs die catastophicallly with their families and ofcourse all courupt official....wow then may be we won't have any government....imagine that

[JogBird]

seems to be taking it well

[dmvallaccess]

Wow! I hope they can get reimbursed.

[mindzstyle]

hahahaha zoom in on the tears :D

[TheMoonchick]

THIS IS UNCALL FOR TO KEEP OUR FARMERS FROM GROWING >THIS IS B>S.

[Fastestpussycat]

@TheMoonchick BS makes Co2.Farmers make dust and dust is bad for the environment.You yanks need to have your Co2 emissions cut also.Prince Charles just told Americans to cut down on steak and you are going to do it by hook or crook.The British Commonwealth Nations number 54 (a major voting block) in the UN and the Barack Obama is our UN Security Counsel and is on the side of Prince Charles not you.Google Prince Charles TELLS Americans to cut down on steak and see glorious Charles and Obama
