I just read an article where someone said - "it took longer for me to work through the way Kirsten speaks. Her voice is on the deeper side, and she is deliberate in articulation and in content."
That's me - I'm Kirsten - forcing NTs to work through my deliberate speak. 🙄
She and I just tasseled cause she didn't like my words and made an example of me in front of the whole class... and then I found this amazing "melons" photo that has me 💀 from this article about her expertise... www.theassemblync.com/politics/ele...
Yes clearly my 30 years of training and experience in multiple countries & states starting in a banana republic in 1995.. and being farmer and senior fulfillment coordinator on a 240acre farm last season have no weight at all. Hydroponics are hydroponics. www.theassemblync.com/politics/ele...
Wow - you are mad disrespectful. Just assuming I don't have my credentials is really too bad. Never said I hang out at farmer's markets.... Please stop talking to me. You clearly just want me to beta down to you. Good luck yourself.
The tomatoes in my grocery store are still coming from Canada and Mexico and the Canadian one's are greenhouse grown. Missouri had a hard tomato season this year - less yield, but the farmers in my crew kept prices same as last year for market. Wonder how next season will go.
Also please don't misquote me. Thank you. Stop thinking that statistics capture everyone & that you googling & angling like a lawyer makes you correct. If you really cared about being a farm educator you'd be inclusive not dismissive. I spent 8 months on the road interviewing farmers. I'm not askn
This is all a lot and really not in line with what I said or my experience. My actual positions were as farmer not farm worker. And I did not work for millionaires. Alas going down a rabbit hole to share what is simply real differences in farm experience is something I can't do.
That being said, I do know a lot of people afraid of diversity everywhere I've lived. I always wondered how Vermonter's would talk if their state suddenly became diverse. Seems easy to have strong opinions about what's no where in sight. Same way rich people always think they're in danger.
Yeah I've heard that but my life experience has shown me different so many times on both fronts. Vermont was the most liberal/supposed high IQ place with almost zero diversity (still the 2nd whitest state).. and my podung home state and Texas were diverse af without the beef'n everyone imagines.
Twice a week I drive 12 miles to the county and run on remote trails with archery management, fishing, cliffs, waterfalls, lakes, and the most diverse immigrant populations you'd ever be so lucky to live along side of.
When I was in Gee's Bend Alabama the ferry service was still highly effected by the many years the white people in Camden wouldn't let the ferry run to insure the black people wouldn't vote.
Agreed. Aside from normal obsessiveness with it, I rent weird airbnbs and binge watch it on Roku tv for days. Antiques Roadshow is even more lit (and autistic) when watched inside a converted pullman car pitched on a river in Alabama.
I'd say I'm rich in tomatoes (mine in the back and Bill's green one's in front) but those who know me know I've already made pasta sauce, minestrone, sandwiches, mango pico de gallo, more fried green tomatoes.... it's my coping mechanism. 🍜
Stopped by my "old" work (most seasonal growers are laid of annually) and was gifted tomatoes from volunteer tomato plants Farmer Bill let grow after I left. He said he was waiting for me and didn't even spray it. That's real love. 🌱💚🌱
Love this….Manny’s Deli in Chicago will be feeding the community that needs help starting Monday….this is the way 💪 since our government/MAGAs want people to starve
I hate that scaling up is sometimes the catalyst for diminishing returns. We have a guy biocharing in Wyoming who started small and is now expanding and what looked like a closed loop system now seems a bit more mining operation vibe.
