Back in the 70's, a US Ag secretary said, "get big or get out." That's when the rural family dairy farm culture in Wisconsin started dying out. Killed by Big Money. #Wisconsin #dairy #FamilyFarms

anyone want to take a crack at this for #scotland and the 400 people/corporations who own the land mass, and the f/x of deforestation and depopulation on soil health, water quality and human health outcomes? And land is bid up >+30% per ac this year most to corporate in private transactions for #rewilding. #familyfarms will suffer again from another round of #clearances

Good morning from Moigny-sur-École and the cows who produce the fine organic milk for La Ferme de Moigny. How lucky we are to be able to buy this fresh, local product and support a family farm. Bonjour de Moigny-sur-École et les vaches de la Ferme de Moigny. Quel privilège d'avoir cette qualité du lait près de chez nous et de pouvoir soutenir une famille de laitiers. https://www.lafermedemoigny.com/

Luke has always had the interests of the family farm especially those smaller farmers who were discriminated against in the original calculation of the CAP payments, at the core of his work #convergence #CAP #familyfarms
RT @jonnyfallon: You can disagree with him. You can completely oppose him in everything but you have to admire how he makes his point, straight to his audience. 👏

Very productive meeting with the @icmsa and my @FineGael colleague @MariaWalshEU this morning.
We discussed a wide range of issues facing family dairy farms - the price of milk, raw materials and climate change.
