RE: https://mastodon.social/@joewo/117213407528132598
This video came across my feed just before this post, and I could not help but put them together for y'all.
Now, here's the thing. We can all agree that #farmers are the beneficiaries of all the social programs we've enacted as a country. And we can all agree that they voted against their own interests.
But the important thing, and I keep stressing this over and over, is that there IS GOING TO BE A FOOD CRISIS IN AMERICA. It's going to be bad. I am not a prepper in the traditional sense, but I really don't want to be Cassandra when this all happens. Please believe me when I tell you that ag futures and climate predictions on top of the labor problem means that #crops are not getting picked, and that means #food is going to be scarce, with a government that will not help.
If you can #stockpile things which can help other people, like dried beans, nut butters, rice...it's not a bad idea to get a Quaker pantry going. I really fear what could come.

Soil degradation - the stuff of life that is called 'dirt'
"Soil is a vital resource for life on Earth."* The Ig Nobel Prizes: "Franz Bender, Marcel van der Heijden, Atlant Bieri, and Pia Viviani, for burying 1,000 identical pairs of underpants in more than 25 countries and then digging them up after two months."
"The results: Land use was the most important factor. Underpants decomposed the fastest in private gardens, where soil analysis also revealed the highest levels of organic matter. Lawns showed the least activity of soil organisms, with agricultural fields and meadows ranging in the middle. Temperature and moisture levels also affected organism activity, particularly if conditions were too cold or too dry, as did soil nutrient levels. Overall, the authors found that their “underpants index” provided equally meaningful information about soil conditions as the TBI, including chemical and physical properties, elevation, and moisture." >>
https://arstechnica.com/science/2026/09/meet-the-2026-ig-nobel-prize-winners/* "Soil is a vital resource for plant growth. It hosts a major part of global species diversity and is key for ecosystem functioning and it forms the basis of human civilization. Yet soils are rapidly degrading, threatening food production, biodiversity, and Earth system functioning. This threat is largely unrecognized in broader society, hindering effective steps towards soil protection."
"Soil is a vital resource for life on Earth. Although many soils are degraded, societal awareness of soil-related issues is limited."
"Farmers, responsible for the management of vast areas of land, often receive little education in basic soil principles. The lack of relationship between the public and soil leads to wasteful treatment of global soil resources. Increased awareness and targeted action towards the protection of soils are urgently needed." >>

@thetnholler.bsky.social It sure took a *long time* to see the #ScalesFall from the eyes of #MAGA #farmers and #ranchers.
People who have chosen #ForksOverKnives and #ElectricCars over internal combustion ‘carriages’ don’t really care about #BeefPrices or #GasPrices. 🤷🏻♂️

The Perkins Institute for Global Studies @theperkinsinstitute.wordpress.com@theperkinsinstitute.wordpress.com ·Jeremy Clarkson: The Gearhead turned farmer
The Man who that neither the culture vultures nor cancer could kill, the man who captivated generations of people!
When we think of great men and women, we tend to think of prophets, kings, statesmen, warriors, and the mythological figures who gave civilizations a language for understanding their world—and the courage to conquer it. Rarely, however, do we place pop-culture icons in that same category. They are often dismissed as temporary celebrities: products of their moment, destined to be reduced to nostalgia once their era has passed.
But every so often, an exception emerges that challenges the rule and gives rise to a generation voice.
On July 27, 1988, pop culture created one of those exceptions. Though like the rule itself, this moment was almost reduced to one failed season not fit for nostalgia.
What appeared at first to be another character, another story, another piece of entertainment became something far more enduring: a generational icon whose archetypal message survived the cultural shifts that sought to redefine, dismantle, and ultimately forget the ideals he represented.
Raising the question of whether we should mistake pop culture icon’s or heroes as mere entertainment for that moment when civilization need them most.
Jeremy Clarkson didn’t simply host a car show—he helped transform the way the world thought about cars. When Top Gear first appeared on April 22, 1977, its purpose was relatively straightforward: showcase automobiles and reflect Britain’s automotive industry. Decades later, Clarkson would help turn that modest concept into a global pop-culture phenomenon, transforming Top Gear from an automotive program into entertainment, comedy, travel, competition, and personality-driven television.
But no revolution happens alone.
Richard Hammond and James May were essential to the formula. Their contrasting personalities, competing perspectives, and unmistakable chemistry transformed three presenters into something far greater: a trio that became synonymous with an era of television and almost as iconic as the cars they drove.
They reinvented the car show—and proved that sometimes the greatest television isn’t about the subject at all. It’s about the people who make you care about it. And that they did because we all had tears in our eyes when they signed off The Grand Tour for the last time in Africa.
When The Grand Tour aired its final episode in 2024, it wasn’t simply the end of a television show—it felt like the closing chapter of a relationship millions of us had grown up with. For nearly three decades, Clarkson, Hammond, and May took us across the world, through impossible roads, remote landscapes, ridiculous challenges, and some of the greatest cars ever built. When it finally ended, the questions were inevitable: Would we ever see the three of them together again? What comes next? And can the automotive world ever feel quite the same without them?
For an entire generation, these three weren’t just presenters. They were the friends who introduced us to cars. They made us care about machines we could never afford, dream about roads we’d never drive, and, for many of us, buy the project car that would sit unfinished in the driveway for the next decade. Their adventures turned an interest in automobiles into something much bigger—a shared passion, a culture, and a community.
And when the journey ended, millions of us were left asking the same question:
What do you do when the people who taught you to love something finally say goodbye?
For Jeremy Clarkson, the voice that had transformed automotive television wasn’t finished—it had simply found a new field to conquer. Literally. When Clarkson’s Farm premiered in 2021, the premise seemed almost absurd: take one of Britain’s most famous car presenters, give him a farm, and somehow turn agriculture into television. Even the producers seemed skeptical that Clarkson would survive the experience. Yet what began as a potential disaster quickly became one of Amazon’s most unexpected successes.
The question was whether fans who had followed Clarkson from Top Gear to The Grand Tour would care about farming. The answer came quickly: absolutely. The show proved that Clarkson’s appeal was never really about cars—it was about his personality, his curiosity, his spectacular ability to turn ordinary problems into extraordinary disasters, and the people around him. Add a cast of unforgettable farmhands, particularly Kaleb Cooper, and suddenly tractors, crops, bureaucracy, weather, and livestock became every bit as entertaining as supercars and exotic road trips.
What made Clarkson’s Farm remarkable wasn’t simply that Jeremy Clarkson made farming entertaining—it was that he turned a traditionally overlooked industry into a national conversation. What began as television quickly became a platform for farmers and rural communities facing rising costs, regulation, economic uncertainty, and an increasingly complicated relationship with government. Clarkson brought those struggles into living rooms that might otherwise never have considered them, showing audiences just how difficult—and expensive—it can be to produce the food we take for granted. When he took farmers to London to protest policies affecting their livelihoods, he wasn’t simply creating another television moment; he was giving visibility to people who often felt invisible. Whatever one’s politics, the cultural impact was difficult to ignore: Clarkson helped millions of viewers understand that farming isn’t merely an occupation—it is the foundation of food security, rural communities, and a degree of independence that modern society can easily take for granted.
He didn’t just make farming entertaining. He made people pay attention.
Just as Clarkson seemed to be entering another successful chapter, audiences were reminded that even the larger-than-life figures who have entertained us for decades are still human. Near the end of Clarkson’s Farm Season Five, Clarkson revealed that he had been diagnosed with cancer and would require surgery and treatment. Thankfully, it was reportedly caught early, giving him a much stronger chance of recovery. For fans who had followed him from Top Gear to The Grand Tour and now into the fields of Diddly Squat, the news carried a different weight: the man who had spent decades making us laugh suddenly gave us a reason to worry.
If you haven’t watched Clarkson’s Farm, you’re missing far more than another Clarkson comedy. It delivers the same irreverent entertainment that made Top Gear and The Grand Tour cultural phenomena, but it also pulls back the curtain on an industry most of us rarely see. From farm-to-table production and spiraling costs to livestock, crops, and the realities of running a brewery, the series turns agriculture into something surprisingly personal and accessible.
As it turns out, Clarkson didn’t leave the world of entertainment behind when he left the driver’s seat. He simply discovered that the next great adventure was waiting in a field.
Jeremy we are praying for you!

Nutrition programs work better when they include #Indigenous food knowledge
Researchers found nutrition programs work better when they include Indigenous food knowledge, local languages, and traditional practices.
By Raquel Brandao, July 24, 2026
Excerpt: "Cameras, cooking and conversation
"Some things worked. #Storytelling, #workshops, and #CookingDemonstrations turned up again and again across the 39 studies, alongside #TalkingCircles, #ShortFilms and #SmartphoneApps.
"The common thread is direction. Each of these methods lets people speak in their own words rather than sit and receive instruction.
"In #NewZealand ( #Aotearoa ), researchers built a mobile health app together with #Māori and #Pasifika partners. The language, the stories, and the pictures all came from the communities the app was meant for.
"Speaking with Earth.com, Rao described a project she led. 'In my own work, and one of the papers reviewed, I have used cameras and #DigitalTools with young women and men in an Indigenous community in #India to document their traditional food knowledges by speaking to the elders, visiting the forests and local markets, talking to women engaged in #foraging and #FoodPreparation.'
"That project is one of the 39 studies in the review. An earlier paper followed ten Santhal young people in eastern India who were trained to make films.
"They made nearly 50 films and screened them in their own villages. Older relatives supplied much of what went into them.
Elders as teachers
"Who holds the knowledge matters as much as what the knowledge is. #Elders, #healers, #farmers, and #women each carry different parts of it.
"None of it arrives as a curriculum. It moves between generations through cooking, gathering and long conversation, which is exactly what a nutrition leaflet cannot carry.
" 'Reclaiming and recognising #IndigenousKnowledge , values and practices to address the different elements of nutrition and health involves recognising intergenerational and wider social relations, and engaging everyone from the elders, healers, educators and farmers to service providers, policymakers and academics, to together raise issues and find solutions,' said Rao.
"Traditional foods carry knowledge of the local landscape in a way nothing else does. The review treats them as practical resources rather than heritage."

Demand Is Booming for New #NoTech, #Repairable #Tractor
"There is consumer pressure to back away from technology that is unnecessary to perform everyday tasks."
by Jason Koebler
Jun 3, 2026"The secondary market for decades old, low-tech #JohnDeereTractors has been booming for years as farmers have sought reliable tractors that they can actually fix without having to deal with John Deere’s repair monopoly. A Canadian company has seen that demand and came up with a radical thought: What if they made a new, repairable, 'no-tech' tractor to solve what has become a gigantic pain point for farmers?
"Alberta’s #UrsaAg says that it has been inundated with demand after announcing its tractor, which costs roughly half as much as a Deere and has the benefit of not being a repair nightmare. We have for years covered the frustration that farmers have felt as they have been locked out of their Deere tractors with digital rights management systems that prevent them from fixing their machinery, tractors that won’t run because of minor sensor failures, and crops that literally die on the vine as they wait for an 'authorized' repair person to fix tractors during critical harvesting periods.
"Ursa Ag markets its tractors as '#NoFrills' and 'built to last.' Ursa Ag’s Doug Wilson told me that the company designed the tractor because of a need in the marketplace for a new machine that isn’t loaded with tech and is easy to maintain. The company follows in the footsteps of consumer electronics companies like #Fairphone, which makes a repairable smartphone and #Framework, which makes modular, repairable #laptops. The demand Ursa Ag has seen is part of the backlash to manufacturer repair #monopolies and the injection of #technology and #InternetConnectedSensors and terms of use into even the most basic of gadgets.
" 'I talk to farmers every day and I hear from farmers every day about how they went out and bought machinery from 1987 so that it wouldn’t have a computer on it,' Wilson said. 'All of this came from a simple discussion with a customer who wanted to be able to turn [the tractor] on at the start of the day, to use it, and shut it off at the end of the day. It needed to work, so that’s what we built.'
"Ursa Ag’s tractor has been hyped in agriculture circles after Wilson showed the tractor off at a Canadian farm show and it was featured by Farms.com. Wilson said more than a thousand farmers have contacted him after that show, from roughly 30 countries. 'I got a handwritten letter from a farmer in France who doesn’t own a computer and wanted us to mail him information about the tractors,' he said."

Minneapolis was my go-to spot for summer vacations all through the 1980s.

“I hate how grocery shopping has become an exhausting exercise in NOT get ripped off” - a headline from r/anticonsumption - What with #inflation and #Shrinkflation the #affordability crisis is only getting worse; while the industry is making record profits, except for #farmers - who are suffering even though subsidized. From my POV, most if not all consumer products producers have turned predatory over the last decade or so. And that’s including the packaged food, dairy and produce industries. This has to be final-stage #capitalism - when unrestrained and unregulated industry giants are preying on the consumers who fund their enterprises. There is a solution, an effective resistance to this trend…it is called #DemandDestruction - that is when fed-up consumers simply refuse to spend, resist corporate exploitation, and vote with their wallets. It’s hard, and takes planning & organization, but it IS doable. To fight back, avoid Amazon & big box stores. Buy from farmer’s markets, support local biz & vote blue.

#Deere settled a US #righttorepair lawsuit for $99 million, agreeing to provide #farmers with #digitaltools for #equipmentmaintenance and #repair for 10 years. The settlement addresses issues raised in a 2022 complaint and requires a judge’s approval. Deere also faces a separate FTC lawsuit. https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/deere-settles-us-right-to-repair-lawsuit-with-99-million-fund-repair-commitments-2026-04-07/?eicker.news #tech #media #news
