If you own more then 100 acres you are not a farmer, if you own a tractors and equipment are worth more then your farm and you cant pay them by saving up money you are not a farmer, if your operation requires chemicals fertilizers and pesticides then I am sorry you are not a farmer. You are part of an industry that destroyed farmers.
@santiagopalacio3685 ARE YOU COMPLETELY STUPID!!!! what do you think farmers are????? people with gardens in their back yard??? My guess is you have never been on a farm
I am 14, and i have a uncle who is 2:nd generation farmer, now i live in the big city in sweden, Stockholm. But i want to be a farmer, so i can help peapole, for real, not just being some lawyer saying ''Oh i am saving the world''. So dont call all farmers stupid rednex or hilly billys. They are technically richer than some peapole that work in for example hospitals. A combine Harvester can cost $500,000 so...
To all of the farmers in the USA....This is a heads up, the FED's are trying to pass a bill or law that will require all farmers to get a CDL licence to operate farm equipment...Also you will be required to keep records and maintain your machinery to what is required on truck drivers....Equipment will also be subjet to inspections....Research it....The CDL may also be enforced to anyone one who has any type of an RV or pulls any type of trailer....
If each family could plant their own little crop in their backyard, or city summer plots, the idea would help everyone to learn to be self sustainable, however, in the US, there are codes and policies and regulations and laws against having little "farms" in your backyard. Everything is very regulated. Other countries, you can have chickens in your (city) yard, if you want to, not in the US.
@tubedonu do you have any idea how many people don't have yards? do you have any idea how many people live in apartments in cities? do you have any idea how much time it takes to farm a small plot? this is why we live in the society that we live in today. people specialize in certain practices (construction, farming, business, manufacturing) and we depend on eachother for all of the things we use. it makes for a more efficient world where people can prosper further.

I am happy to see all the critical thinkers responding to this video. It does contain all the common myths and rhetoric of modern industrial extractive agriculture, most disturbingly the 'feed the world' moral imperative that justifys the exploitation of developing countries and their agrararian traditions. Vandava Shiva would have a few things to say about this. Oh, and I am a farmer - 15 acre crop and orchard, $250,000/yr CSA. So much for get Big or Get Out.
Maybe by 2050 a farmer will be able to be paid for what thay do. The corp world is killing farmers jacking up prices on everything they purchase, Fuel, Tractor, Combines, Fert, Land Tax, FOOD, etc, yet the price of grain has gone up, go figure. A STARVING WORLD WOULD BE EXACTLY WHAT A FARMER NEEDS So Gov't, public and Corp WAKE the Hell UP. SO EAT UP chumps!!!! you kids will starve and the very few farmers left just might get what has been owed to the for 100 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People have becomed several generations removed off the farm and don't understand how farming is today. Farmers are smarter than they were even 5 years ago. Its still an evolving practise and we are becoming more educated every season through trial and error. Say what you want but production agriculture would not be where it is today without companies like BASF, Monsanto, DuPont, etc.
Wow that sound track is great - it'll get all sorts of interested and none interested parties watching this good info on agriculture and the farming world. Well done.
Companies are not perfect; they are run by fallible humans.They make mistakes and get punished just like individuals.But their efforts have given us the highest standard of living the world has even known. Government did NOT. You want us to return to raising our own goats, growing our own cotton to make our own clothes? How would that work for residents of NYC? Want to serve fellow humans?...make better medicines, cleaner water, more food...just as Companies (chemical) and otherwise have done.
atingoe: all the BASF employees from WW2 are dead now. Your point is moot.
All the "anti's" want everything they have, with none of the downsides and NIMBY. The real world requires accepting that no solution is perfect, but its the best balance of safety, cost, and efficiency. Improvements to each is desirable, but indicting a company simply because it makes chemical is nonsense.
@scmerkur You are right-my point is moot. That was recycled rage from all the times I've had to listen to and educate rural people saying: Jewed down or Obamazied. I removed it. It is better to stay in recent history such as the 2001 EPA fine of 3.7 million for importing and selling millions of pounds of illegal, counterfeit pesticides. The largest case ever brought by the federal government for pesticide-related illegal conduct. That is a crime against all humanity. A fine does not excuse.
This is a good video and very informative,,,leave it to a bunch of Pseudo communists to try to ruin it----How's the farming going over in North Korea or Cuba? Why is it that the industralized nations are always the ones feeding the third world...
@cowlover1975 This is too easy thinking. In Niger, farmers are ruined because they cannot compete with cheap food imports from "1st world countries" because their colonialism- and war-stricken governments are too corrupt/weak to protect them through import customs or provide subsidies to help them. So, instead of growing their own rice, their fields are lying barren. And this is happening all over the world. Has it ever occurred to you that a prerequisite for our wealth is their poorness?
From: Knowmore.org ... BASF is the world's largest chemical company ... six business segments: plastics (including polyolefins and polystyrene), performance products (value-added chemicals and dyes), chemicals (plasticizers solvents), oil and gas exploration and production (through subsidiary Wintershall AG), functional solutions (catalysts, coatings, and construction chemicals), and agricultural products (additives, herbicides, and fertilizers).
This type of propaganda, based on stimulating false assumptions and associations only turns consumers against farmers, especially a message so blatantly self-promoting from the worlds' largest chemical company with a long history of abuse and disregardful for humans and the environment. This message hurts farmers because it increases their inability to recognize and respond to the changes in world food systems, increases defensiveness and righteousness, and separates them from non-farmers.
