Some thing to think about

I will put this on the back of

my tractor sometimes if I have to travel the road. Gives folks in cars something to consider as they follow behind.

They're too busy reading their phones to read that sign.

J Hamilton · Aug 19, 2023

Totally agree! I see that on bumper stickers on lots of trucks here

Amen Randy. 99% of drivers won't see it but hey hopefully it will wake up a few people. Gotta try. RB

Nice sign Bruce. I had a neighbor that in the early 1970,s Had to travel about 1/2 mile on a state highway in the fall pulling large chopper boxes. Almost got hit alot until he had a sign made to cover the rear of the chopper box stating. Please don't pass as I need to turn turn left shortly and had your sign under that and a big smile face below. His wife stated that was the best thing they ever did.

yep, i like that! now we are getting burned out of the country,... and it sure is not due to climate change . its due to the high ups paying people to light fires, and being well payed!!!! that is true. gives them a reason to keep blaming climate change. sure something from pandemic to fires from climate change. well i am not falling for that b.s. from them. sure there is fires starting but no darn way there was the whole country on fire. another big scandal from our goverment, that is to be a secret. but i have heard of the cat out of the bag.

When there is a demand, there will be a supply. When gasoline powered cars first came out, they said, (where will they get the gas?) Now they are saying (where will we get the electricity for the electric cars?) There are too many farmers in the US, we are talking about increasing the percentage of ethanol in gasoline, just to subsidize the farmers! If we would put solar farms on marginal farmland, we could charge the electric cars that many folks will be driving, and have less pollution!

when the reality actually hits home people will know what that sign means.

I prefer the more direct version.

No farms,
No beer.

Sadly, most will not care or believe that agriculture is an evil institution that needs to be gotten rid of.

Bruce from Can. · Aug 20, 2023

Before we cover even marginal farm land with more solar farms, lets see it become a more important and viable thing to cover a greater percentage of the roof tops in cities with solar panels. No need to spoil the country side with these ugly mirrors, the cities use much of the power generated now, so why not make the city be the place to put the solar collectors too. And many cities like the famous Windy City of Chicago could have the giant wind turbines stuck throughout the cities foot print. Instead of building these things miles from where the power is consumed, let it be generated locally so they can charge their EV. And leave the farm land for farming. And go ahead and get rid of the direct payments to farmers to grow corn. We dont get any in Canada, and seem to still be able to make a buck selling corn at whatever price is set by world market.

No Doctor
Most die

No trucker
Nothing gets to market

No scientist
No chemicals

No teacher
No education

And the list goes on and on.

So I for one do not understand the sign.
Maybe one of you can explain to me what makes farmers so special.

Bruce from Can. · Aug 20, 2023

Its not a matter of farmers are special, its more stop crabbing about a farmer using the darn roads where they live to do their work. Much of the traffic on the roads near me is not so much local folks, but folks escaping the hell they live in, widely known as the urban cities, for the quiet beauty of the countryside and the cottage country.

Bob N.Y. · Aug 20, 2023

Well said!

r.w.b. · Aug 20, 2023

i agree fully. put wind towers and solar where land is already barren cause best i know they dont make land. we got thousands n thousands of strip pits that the crap sould be used on but no lets use the clear land cause cost be less n destroy more land.
oh wait were we talking about SAVING THE WORLD ?

Jim in NC · Aug 20, 2023

Nice message Bruce! Because we are such a tiny minority across the globe, if we quit standing up for ourselves we are doomed. I was blessed and survived earlier this year.

John T · Aug 20, 2023

Im proud and happy to have farmed several years and NOT into going after any man for his chosen profession to feed himself and his family, be it a farmer rancher mechanic plumber teacher doctor lawyer carpenter truck driver chemist factory worker etc etc etc.

God Bless them alllllllllllllll

I'll have to admit, when I'm driving, I can even get a little impatient. I followed a pickup pulling an empty gravity wagon at 45 miles an hour for about 6 miles Friday and that was about all I could take before I had to get around him. I passed somebody else's tractor yesterday morning on a curve just east of my house where I about loose it if somebody passes me there. You can see farther around that curve from a pickup than I thought you could when it comes right down to it.

flying belgian · Aug 20, 2023

I agree with john t. We need them all.

coonie minnie · Aug 20, 2023

Ummmm... We US farmers don't get direct payments to grow corn either.
