Nuke the ‘farm’ from orbit!
Are they going to spray the entire county or is this one farm being singled out? I would like to know why they are doing this. Does this farm have a problem with these noxious weeds that they aren’t addressing?
The county’s got to spend the collected weed taxes. Don’t agree with it but on the books and taxpayers pay it.
And he can take them to court for ruining his ‘organic’ business- He should immediately declare he is gay- that way the gubmint would’;t dare do this to him
Let me note first I’m no farmer, non the less let’s consider...
If they plowed the crops under and let the feilds go fallow (wild), there would certainly be more “noxious” weeds, but very likely no requirement to take any action pertaining to the weeds what so ever.
Cultivate the feilds organically, presumably with far fewer weeds than the fallow field, but the county will enter onto your property, destroy your business model and lien the property.
...ain’t government grand.
Pull the damn weeds. A strong solution of soaked chewing tobacco can kill aphids
In my youth, I used to walk beans. We were given machetes made out of old lawnmower blades and told to chop them close to the ground and spade out the small ones with the flat ends of the blades. With all that illegal alien labor there, it should be no problem to clear that field.
Later on, they started using the “ bean limousine” method, where the youth would sit on the sprayer arms of a huge bean sprayer, and then with hand nozzles, spray each weed as they rolled by, a method that really reduced the amount of expensive herbicide needed and the total wages of the high school kids they hired.
Who says Americans won’t do some jobs?
Pull the Canadian Thistle and the gubmint won’t spray. Seems like an easy solution to me.
Round up on an organic farm??!! Jeez, what the hell are they thinking? Let’s get real. I would suggest Agent Orange instead.
What? There is no freedom here to avoid consuming neurotoxic herbicides? Insane.
I wonder if this company and their consumer base will notice the parallels with the Hammond family and ranchers like them? Lots of libtards out there who were just fine with the government destroying those folks in order to steal their land.
A few thoughts:
1) Oregon weed laws:
https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/bills_laws/ors/ors569.html
2) Usually if you make an attempt to control the weeds they leave you alone. Mow them would be organic.
3) So this is just another way to be special and a victim.
Further thoughts:
1) Absolutely no factual information given in posted article. There is some more here but only one sided: https://hl.azurestandard.com/healthy-living/info/azure-farm-moro/
2) The appeal is purely emotional.
3) There are real good reasons for weed laws. There are also poor reasons for weed laws. But weed laws are state and local driven.
4) Google weed laws and you will see how society has changed.
6) It takes a lot of prior events to get to this point in the situation and we are not told them.
The farm should check the county barns and offices for weeds. They should also demand each county employee spray their yards. Besides, a weed can be whatever plant you don’t want to be in a certain spot. Grass is great in the yard but if it wanders into the garden, it’s a weed. A rare African violet is a weed if it pops up in the middle of your front yard. Who is the county to decide what the farm considers preferred plants vs. a weed?
And what about Roundup being dangerous? There was a recent hubbub to not use Roundup. That’s another thing the farm could bring up. Hey, they should make every farmer and rancher and homeowner spray for weeds. Never mind the livestock eats those weeds for food.
A few years ago in Texas, they send a raid out to an organic farm. The reason was totally trumped up. Don’t exactly remember the original reason, maybe claiming they were growing marijuana, but the reasons kept changing when they found no mj. The next reason was about the junk on the farm. Well, the junk was things like buckets to grow plants and pallets that were used to frame the beds and whatnot. Then something about the kids, well, heck, I go barefoot so guess I should be taken away from home.
Strange times. I have seen this exact type of post on Democratic Underground. Horshoe theory of political leanings strikes again.
Then the twits ought to go out and do the weeding that needs to be done. Real farmers grow an additional close ground crop to keep weeds down
