"Dear folks, food safety issues arise from the larger, licensed facilities. So far, the USDA has not recorded a single food borne illness or pathogen problem at uninspected facilities nationwide. Fearmongering about food safety is a complete fabrication, with no evidence in fact."

As small farmers who produce livestock get more squeezed out of the retail market, at least one state is leading a charge against federal government overreach:  New Hampshire.  Yes, "Live Free or Die."  That state, bless 'em…

"Americans should never--that's a strong never--buy leafy greens grown in foreign soil. Period and amen. We should buy only domestically-raised lettuce, preferably locally grown and ideally grown in our own backyards. Lettuce is perhaps the easiest food item to grow in a small space even in an urban setting. This whole story does not indicate a lapse in oversight; it indicates a profound abdication of personal participation and accountability in our food system.

Let's quit finger pointing and realize we're the problem. As a culture, we won't return to functionality until we come to terms with the culprit: us.

Do you grow lettuce?"

According to the official narrative, not a single case of cyclosporiasis has occurred in domestically-produced lettuce.  The safest is local, but even large producers farming in the U.S. have not had a problem…

I've been to the White House every time in my 71 years that I've been invited. I've been invited twice in the past year. And, if I get invited this year, or in 5 years, I will go again. Not because I put our elected officials on a pedestal. I just go to help.

I often find myself politically confused, and I make it my business to always stay in my lane: raising livestock with good animal welfare, regenerate the soil beneath their feet, and revitalizing my rural town of Bluffton, Georgia. And when that is on the President's agenda, I'm proud to share my experience.

In early June, I was invited to the White House for a meeting with President Trump and some of his cabinet members. I was told there was going to be an executive order signed in the Oval Office, and I was invited to tell the President how my farm had transitioned away from the commodity cattle industry into a small, vertically-integrated food hub. It was my first time being so close to where policy was made, and it was quite surprising. I wasn't there to smile and pose. I was there to plead the case for Regenerative Agriculture.

I felt that the four of us farmers who were invited to the White House on June 25th did a pretty good job pleading our case. The President signs only a few executive orders each year, and the one that day was centered around Regenerative Agriculture. I never thought the type of farming that I have been figuring out over the last 30+ years would ever be passionately discussed in the Oval Office. But a few Cabinet members and four farmers were given the opportunity to witness this, and I appreciated having a front row seat.
