No one has worked the Gill Tract for at least 8 years? I've been working there since 2009, that's at least three field seasons of working on, growing on, and caring for that land. And my point about occupying a job is in reference to your unlawful protest interfering with my employment and how you would be able to empathize with having boundaries disrespected if someone just decided to enter your workplace, roto-till the floor and start growing corn with water from your sink.

Since when did the Occupy Movement went from NYC Wall Street to an irrelevant farm that no one give a shit about?

[Harrymfink]

I'd be interested if you could suggest some information to read on this. Were these people interfering with construction or the use by the buyers? Or was this land bought buy a public facility and not used? If the former I can understand, but if the later it seems fair that unused land funded by the people should be used. I can also see the appeal in relation to environmental degredation, the poor quality of food and alienation of people in an "I" society.

Whats even funnier is them BUYING plants to do this LMAO. Lets see you do it the way most farmers do it, by seed, hard work and care.

[nccanuck]

What a frikkin joke. Take a real farm and turn it into a farce. I bet you fools don't have a clue as to how a real farm works or what it takes to grow enough food to be self sufficient and what it takes. I say bury you all in pig crap and be done with it.

How about that woman from Marin County? The most exclusive, rich county is the US

[kkeaglesfan7]

little did they know that they were occupying the wrong piece of land. they were on a UC berkeley agriculture testing ground, not a whole foods construction sight...

[dplandry]

What an interesting group of people and I'll leave it at that.

This is the dumbest thing I've ever witnessed. Really, the people in this video are staggeringly uneducated, and need to get lives.
