    The “Woke Famine”:

    Citing the impacts of climate change and decreased snowpack — as well as the demands of 4 million ratepayers 300 miles to the south — the DWP has told ranchers they should no longer expect free water for irrigation uses.

    In addition, they point out that water was never a guarantee tied to 20-year leases held by about a dozen ranchers in the area. They pay an average of $10 to $15 per year to graze on DWP property.

    Citing climate change, LADWP ends free water deal for Long Valley ranchers and sparks anger among conservationists
    Since the early 1920s, the Long Valley plains east of Yosemite have inspired comparison to a rustic Western paradise — an idyllic frontier where sparkling creeks meander through lush pastures, waters teem with feisty trout and sage grouse make ostentatious displays of romance.

    Safety of Impossible's "bleeding heme" from GMO yeast being challenged in court:

    "FDA approved soy leghemoglobin even though it conducted none of the long-term animal studies that are needed to determine whether or not it harms human health," said Bill Freese, science policy analyst at Center for Food Safety. "This includes studies for cancer, reproductive impairment, and other adverse effects called for by FDA's Redbook, the Bible of food and color additive testing," he added. "We find this to be all the more troubling because a number of potential adverse effects were detected in a short-term rat trial: disruption of reproductive cycles and reduced uterine weights in females, and biomarkers of anemia, reduced clotting ability, and kidney problems."

    How quickly can Biden/Vilsack cut all financial support to farmers? (Answer: Quickly.)

    Under Trump, USDA head Sonny Perdue "dusted off the little-known fund and leveraged its authority to help out producers financially hurt by retaliatory tariffs through a combination of direct payments and commodity purchases that eventually ballooned farmers’ bottom lines. The billions paid out to farmers far eclipsed the massive 2008 auto bailout, and accounted for 40 percent of farm income in 2020."

    Now the Biden administration wants to deploy a $30 billion pot of money in the Agriculture Department to tackle climate change, support restaurants and kickstart other programs without waiting for Congress.

    "Now, with the continuous rains in the second half of the month and the lengthening of the cycle for some of the crop, the total available ended up being even lower than we thought."

    Analyzing the data, Menker has noticed the impact of increasingly protectionist measures by key food-exporting countries as they wrangle with the simultaneous demand and supply shock that Covid-19 has created.

    Calling ag protectionism the big theme for this year, Menker explains that over the past few months these producer countries — such as Argentina, Brazil, Indonesia, Russia, and Ukraine — have taken measures such as increasing export taxes or placing caps on the amount of food commodities that they’ll ship overseas. Argentina, for instance, has completely halted exports of corn until the end of the month in an effort to protect domestic supply.

    At the same time, many of these economies are suffering from currency devaluation, causing the price of food to rocket.

    UK: New carbon taxes: meat, cheese and gas heating prices to rise

    Consumers face higher prices on meat, cheese and gas heating under plans being drawn up by Boris Johnson for new carbon taxes and charges.

    The prime minister has ordered every department to produce a “price” for carbon emissions across all areas of the economy as part of a drive to achieve his net-zero carbon pledge. The proposals are at the centre of the carbon reduction blueprint that is expected to be announced in the run-up to Cop26, the United Nations’ climate change conference being hosted by Britain in Glasgow in November.

    Leafy greens. Eggs. Herbs, tomatoes, seafood. These are considered high-risk and require the records.

    Hundreds of thousands of mice have swarmed parts of rural Australia, including communities in New South Wales, central Queensland, Victoria, and South Australia.

    Rodents are barging into homes and creating a mess, several local news outlets report.

    The population boom is likely due to heavy rainfall that contributed to a good harvest, Steve Henry, an expert with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) told news.com.au. The mice are steadily multiplying during the summer months, and the trend is expected to continue through winter.

    Al Karanouh, mayor of a nearby town called Coonamble, says the mice pose significant sanitation risks, leaving droppings in homes and public spaces and creating a stench when they die.

    "It’s quite a hard problem getting rid of them all," Karanouh told News.com.au.

    War On Farms — suddenly your manure is classified as toxic industrial waste and must be disposed of expensively:

    Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Victoria recommendations that would see farm animal manure classified as industrial waste under changes to the state's environmental protection act.

    "Farmers have been utilising animal manure as a sustainable by-product of agriculture for decades," he said

    Manure from chicken and pig farms is a valuable fertiliser, especially in organic cropping systems, while deep-banding animal litter has shown huge promise in the state's south-west in lifting soil organic carbon levels.

    Geologist and earth scientist Professor Ian Plimer says the “climate is cyclical” as a new study claims Earth is heading to an ice age. “We are getting towards the end of the warm period, the peak of the warmth was about 5,000 years ago and we are heading for the next inevitable ice age,” he told Sky News host Cory Bernardi. Professor Plimer says every occurrence of icebergs expanding and shrinking happened with “more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than now”. “To use the word ‘unprecedented’ shows you have expunged history and geology from your knowledge.”

    Snow, ice and frost determine the situation in many regions.

    And that now also has an impact on the supply of goods to supermarkets and discounters, as a WELT survey of the largest retail chains and in the logistics industry in this country shows.

    In any case, Germany's leading food forwarding company Dachser reports severe restrictions and delays in transports in some areas, above all in central Germany, i.e. from North Rhine-Westphalia in the west to Thuringia and Saxony in the east.

    Several traders confirm the logistics problems.

At its core, the forecast predicts a decrease in net farm income by 8.1 percent; that’s equivalent to $9.8 billion. Net farm income is a metric that includes all sources of farm revenue, including payments from the government, and those were...extremely high, in 2020, for a variety of reasons. Owing to issues including, but not limited to, a global pandemic, a lack

    The new Biden administration is pushing U.S. grocers to once again offer their employees pandemic pay — an effort Canadian labour advocates say is needed from governments in Canada as well.

    The move comes as part of the new U.S. president’s $1.9-trillion COVID-19 recovery plan calling on the CEOs of grocery and retail to implement “generous” and retroactive hazard pay to compensate workers for the risks they’ve taken since the pandemic started.

    Grocers in both countries offered a pay bump when the pandemic hit last March as employees scrambled to keep shelves stocked amidst widespread panic-buying. By late spring, however, those bonuses were phased out and haven’t been reinstated despite surging COVID-19 numbers across both countries.

    “Most everyone saw temps of 21 degrees for several hours,” Murden, who also is a grower, said. “We will no doubt lose some of the crop as we are seeing some ice buildup inside the fruit.” Murden said that when temperatures dip below 28 degrees and stay below that mark for five hours or longer, the fruit that is still on branches begins to freeze on the inside.

    And, usually, the weather is warm there. In fact, just as recently as Wednesday of last week, the high temperature in Mission reached 85 degrees, which is more than 10 degrees above average for this time of year. By Friday, though, the temperature had crashed to a high of just 43, with a low in the 30s. And it only went down from there, bottoming out with an overnight low of 22 degrees on Feb. 15 as Arctic air continued pushing southward.

    It wasn’t just the unseasonable cold that was causing problems for growers. The wind also foiled growers’ attempts to protect the fruit. “The wind was blowing so hard” on Sunday night, Murden said, that “most measures to warm trees up couldn’t work.”

    No pet food due to COVID?

    (WTNH) — Pet owners are currently dealing with a cat food shortage. Many stores, even online are having issues stocking canned cat food. Stores we spoke with say it’s COVID-19-related.

    When a cannery has a COVID case, they often have to close for an extended period of time. It’s affecting a lot of bigger brands, making certain varieties difficult to find.

    Linda Grinard, the owner of Sweet Pea Natural Pet Food in South Windsor said, “A lot of companies are doing their most popular brand or protein and so that’s been a challenge to keep everything balanced.”

    Grinard says dry food and the smaller brands of organic canned food have been less affected by this issue.

    The facilities “shall be” – by force of law – required to offer an entirely plant-based menu at the same time for residents, staff, visitors, and others.

    Cheese, milk, sour cream, eggs, and honey – honey – are not allowed on the menu, either. Pasta is made with eggs, so that’s out. Powdered eggs in that pancake mix are forbidden. Yesterday, macaroni and cheese was considered to be a vegetarian dish. If this passes, it will off the vegan menu – unless you can figure out how to make it with that cardboard cheese that doesn’t melt.

    Why White House Must Call for Cutting U.S. Meat Production to Tackle Climate Crisis
    The Physicians Committee recently petitioned the White House to update its executive order titled “Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad” to recommend policy changes that could help alleviate the climate crisis by cutting animal agriculture and promoting a plant-based diet. Susan Levin, MS, RD, CSSD, director of nutrition education for the Physicians Committee, answers questions about the petition.

    So: There WAS no problem, but we had the media push a TON of FEAR, and we started chipping away at making seed sales illegal. Stunning!

    Packets of “mystery seeds” sent to thousands of people across the U.S. last year have prompted a federal agency to provide additional guidance for online seed sales.

    The U.S. Department of Agriculture says it found no evidence someone was trying to harm agriculture when they sent the seeds last summer.

    England's sugar beet sector needs gene-editing - minister
    Gene-editing could play a key role in England's sugar beet sector, Britain's farming and environment minister George Eustice said on Tuesday, reiterating his support for easing regulations covering the technology. Eustice told the annual conference of the National Farmers Union that the sugar beet sector has faced major problems this year with virus yellows which is spread by aphids and can severely cut beet yields and decrease sugar content. Gene-editing aims to accelerate changes which might take place naturally, whereas genetic modification (GM) can involve the transfer of genetic material from one species to another which could not occur using conventional breeding techniques.

    Earlier this week meat was speciesist. Now “Meat is sadism”

    “As biotechnology scrambles centuries of human assumptions and debate about the relationship between eating, pleasure, and ethics, it also raises the possibility that eating animals may soon boil down to sadism, in its classical definition: deriving pleasure from inflicting suffering when other options exist.

    Texas farms hit hard

    After a week of freezing temperatures, vegetable and citrus farmers across the state are assessing the damage, with widespread losses expected.
    “It’s down, it’s beat, it’s withered, and it’s falling apart,” Dante Galeazzi, President and CEO of Texas International Produce Association told news organization Valley Central.

    “We had done everything right.”
    “We bought our supplies and seeds early as we anticipated COVID-induced scarcities, worked overtime prepping fields and planting, then spent countless hours preparing for the storm by covering, watering and mulching. We were as ready as you can be,” he said.

    Without much produce to sell at markets, many farmers won’t have income as they try to restart their crops. Some of them have community-supported agriculture programs, whose members paid for boxes that the farmers now won’t be able to fill.
    Farmers are left asking customers again to support them by buying their crops in the future.

    “What we really need is a whole new way of supporting local farmers,” Flynn said.
