Farmland: Preservation agenda hurting farmland

Recently I drove on I-5 from Stockton to Los Angeles, and I observed thousands of acres of farmland destroyed by the liberal establishment who took the irrigation waters away from the farmers. The establishment believed tiny minnows were being totally destroyed by the irrigation processes contrary to the “deplorable” farmers’ concerns.

The farmers posted warnings to the public on their property; they warned of the elimination of blue collar jobs, the shortage of food leading to higher costs and the dust bowl potential of thousands of acres of abandoned farmland to the weather.

The state and federal establishments have begun to take American resources away from the people. The California liberals taking of farmland (payed for the taxpayers) and the liberals’ wish to dictate farm practices throughout our country is destructive.

The liberals taking of farms while also planning to take all coal, oil, timber, etc. away from the American people is based on their preservation agenda. Without the full productivity of American land resources, our America becomes a third world nation. Anarchy in Venezuela comes to mind whose people are near starvation.
