Farming insects is so much safer. It just makes sense....

It’s hot in the summer working on Happy Acres Farm. Who knew?

Crop yields would be so much better if the temperatures never went above 50 and constant rains made the fields knee-deep mud.

But, thanks to “regenerative” BS, all is good.

Many vegetables are cool weather crops - lettuce, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, etc.

Tree fruit tends to be harvested in fall. Apples and pears come to mind.

Even *IF* there is some contribution to the climate by humanity, please explain why a warmer planet is a bad thing.

When it was last considerably warmer than today, the Sahara was smaller and rivers flowed there, while the arctic and antarctic were both verdant with life.

Cold kills far more people than heat does.

They'd have a seizure driving by our farm with their ac, watching our workers this week (85% humidity, 90 degrees) wearing their long pants, flannel shirts, and a couple in knit hats. I appreciate the PSA, I'll let our staff know they should be dead according to Ass Presstitutes.

Why hasn’t it been a big story that a big city like L.A. has had record cool temperatures in 2023?

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4165835/posts

The cooler/colder weather in California, Oregone and Washington has been ignored by those who make money lying about Gorebal Warming.

Should be over 80° bur, today we won’t even break 70°

They talk about a “warming earth” only in the summertime. Never in winter.

I GREW UP ON A DAIRY FARM LESS THAN & MILES FROM THE UW-MADISON CAMPUS.

IT was HOT & Humid-—BUT all farm chores had to be done.

NO GATORADE, either. Just water.

TODAY’S SNOWFLAKES do NOT even have a clue how to actually WORK—WARM OR COLD.

Farms are big. People are small. There are more jobs to do on a farm than any other workplace bar none. The farmer and members of the family are often in situations working with no one else anywhere near them.

Farmers in upstate New York could grow mangos, bananas and cotton, if “climate change” were real. An extended growing season and warmer temperatures would be a good thing. As for “rising sea levels,” build dykes. It’ll give the welfare recipients something to do.
