Very timely reminder re the necessity of protecting our strong and viable seed varieties. My passion, being a biodynamic beef farmer, is pasture herbage to provide diverse and vigorous plant grazing species for my cattle. The cost and quality of conventional pasture seeds...plus their poor or non existent reproductive capacity....becomes yet another burden for those of us who want to farm for a healthier future.

Here's a hint. Pasture reared cattle fart very little, for those with persistent climate anxiety. In fact they are a net carbon benefactor as they graze. Herbage is a fast grower and hungry for lots of atmospheric carbon. We love carbon here.

Compare a man who exists on processed foodstuffs to one who eats fresh natural untainted (as far as they can be in this world) food. Who will fart more with belly pains?. Then examine a steer standing flank by flank with a whole lot of confined beasts on concrete being force fed at best corn and soy based pellets. Who is going to have chronic digestive complaints farting helplessly into the atmosphere?

A good read Warren, is Fiat Food by Matthew Lysiak, inflation being a deliberate policy to drain the small remainder of our personal resources to the financial classes and their political lackeys, in part to force us to eat their vile synthetic food to make us sick and so feed into the pharma/ medical dystopia etc etc.

The thing about resistance is though, it does make you stronger. Your 6'3" Irish ( God bless the Irish!) friend being a case in point. Keep up the good work

Cheers Simon

As I am not a farmer, I rely on people like you to confirm I am on the right track. I am sure inflation has been injurious to farmers. In fact, it was targeted at all of us. Quite predictable and totally unnecessary. The attacks on our food grow by the day and the amount of nonsense linking this to climate change is excruciating. I have a favourite word: AGNOTOLOGY - the study of culturally induced ignorance and doubt. This is our enemies’ biggest weapon.

Thanks very much for your comment and I wish you the very best in the future. People like you are our true heroes.

Very interesting parallels between Erna's exposing of those who wanted to "save"/control the plant gene pool and Jay Couey's unveiling of the eugenics project to collect human DNA sequences, the "Human Genome Project", which is most likely still collecting the medical remnants from millions of "PCR swabs" to be sequenced and fed to the AI. The reductionist technocrat transhumanist project whose motto must be "DNA über alles".

Yes and in their attitude to working within the system. I mentioned Bruce Milliss in that story. I found parallels between the attitude to Communists in the 50s and the attitude now. Competing narratives are rolling around in my head. Am watching this right now. A fascinating story. https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/watch/99545155992

Thank you Warren. An interesting lady.

You can find one of Erna's reports "Genetic resources in plants: their exploration and conservation" here at:

Thanks Jacq. I will try to link to it in an appropriate place.
