Rambling on and on and on about farming, food and astronomy. Astronomy? Yep. Farming and astronomy go together like garlic and basil, tomatoes and peppers, ice cream and bacon.

So much to quote in this so instead, read the whole thing.
I don’t usually reblog things I find in Tumblr, but I had to do this one. In the past 50 years, I have seen so many Wisconsin farmers and supporting businesses driven into oblivion by industrial scale farms that it is mind boggling. The author of the article discusses the same thing happening in other countries, primarily India, where there has been, so far at least, resistence to industrial ag and the “big box” retailers moving in.
Every time I drive by another abandoned barn, empty implement dealer, defunct hardware store, empty lot where a feed mill once stood, I ask myself where are all of the improvements that we were promised would come with the advent of mega-farms?Source: astudyinmovement
