I have seen this year first hand that there is a global cooling this side of the world, as a rule even 8 years ago when I arrived here by car from Spain, a journey worthy of a post itself that I shall save for another time, the difference between then and now is distinctive to say the least.
Having a farm you tend to notice weather patterns as everything depends on it, weather that is.
You can not cut grass and harvest it for winter feed when it is damp, you cannot plant some seeds when there is still a frost at night, both common sense things.
Whilst Greta and the green crowd have con-vinced themselves the earth is going to end in 2050 due to global warming, I can honestly say it is not going to, based merely on observation.
It is miserable outside today, around 14c and cold for this time of the year, that is reality, but little Greta will still try to sell me the notion of global warming.
If you can sell lies/fabrications and people buy into it, why not keep selling them? Modern medicine has worked like that for over 100 years, and still people trust them.
We need to get back to intuition and not stay on the path of listening to alleged "experts"......
I know how to farm, but the people saying how I and others should farm do not farm, so why would I listen to advice regards how to grow crops from them? It makes no sense and is self defeating.
Alleged scientists will endorse pesticides that you can not drink to be sprayed over food we eat, where is the logic?
For the record, I use no pesticides.
I also use no fertilizer except cow manure, oh natural, but them cows you are told are bad for the environment which means if we did not use manure, we would have to buy fertilizer that is man made from ingredients mainly located in Morocco.
"Phosphate Fertilizers from Morocco and Russia Injure U.S. Industry."

Soil needs many ingredients including additives at times, but simply mass dumping Phosphate Fertilizers on it is not a solution.
I can walk 30 feet and go from sandy soil to rich soil, tomatoes for instance like the sandy soil as long as it remains damp - more than they like rich soil.
You may ask me why and the answer will be I have no idea why, but they do, that is based on experience, not what some expert tells me.
They tend to develop rot in rich soil.
I can look at soil and see what will grow in it, I can also add lime or fertilizer in the autumn to change the soil for the next crop - next year, I can, we all can.
I am not overstating this, but if we keep listening to people that do not farm, do not grow food, have no idea about any of it, we are going to end up with no food to eat except bugs.
I note in the UK they are now feeding bugs to school children, a bit of a "get used to it peasants, it is all you will have to eat soon, that and weeds"......
" EAT THE BUGS: UK Schoolchildren Fed Insects to Encourage ‘Sustainability’"...
"Schoolchildren in Wales are being fed bugs as part of a research programme by publicly-funded universities “to educate children on the environmental and nutritional benefits of edible insects across the UK”, according to the left-wing i newspaper.
Children at four Welsh primary schools — roughly equivalent to American elementary schools — will participate in a study aimed at making youngsters “think about alternative proteins as real things for now, rather than just as foods for the future,” according to Christopher Bear, a Cardiff University academic helping to organise the study.
University of the West of England academic Verity Jones, another study organiser, appeared to imply that finding ways to weaponise children as “agents of dietary change” against their parents is one of the objects of the research in comments to the i, too.
“Many children have the power of pester, so in some cases can be great agents of dietary change within the family,” she suggested, adding that children’s reluctance to consume insects could be overcome in part by drilling it into their heads that minuscule amounts of bug matter make their way into regular foodstuffs naturally anyway.
“I have found that, once children know that insects are already, by the very nature of processing, in many of the foods we eat; and are assured that they won’t become ill from eating them, they are very open to trying,” Jones said, adding: “All research, for adults and children, indicates whole insects are off-putting, but ground-up insects within foods are very acceptable.”
Roch Community Primary School headmaster Carl Evans, who leads one of the schools participating in the bug-eating scheme, opined that “[t]here is an important connection between our local community, food production and wider global issues surrounding sustainable development.”
He claimed that “[t]hese issues are important to children” — although evidence that primary school aged children, who can be as young as four, genuinely spend their time thinking about “food production and wider global issues surrounding sustainable development” with significant adult coaching appears to be thin on the ground.
Nevertheless, normalising bug-eating seems to be a particular obsession of institutions in the United Kingdom and the wider West, with the UK Research and Innovation Council (UKRI) — an arm of the British government — suggesting in 2021 that “meat” fashioned from mealworms and crickets may have to replace regular meat as part of the “net zero” agenda.
The European Union, too, has been keen to push insect consumption, moving to approve them as regulated foodstuffs in 2020."
I had to get a monkey in as they are HOT news now, monkey magic and all, roll up and get ya pox shot.
People it seems are oh so easy to fool, to program with bad ideas, self defeating ideas too.
Say it often enough and it becomes the truth.
I shall continue my natural farming methods regardless of what Greta or politicians say, regardless.
I never ruined her childhood, her parents did.
I must admit I find it amusing to natural farm and be ostracized by small children and people that do not farm, amusing to say the least.
I shall carry on regardless, or some people will have nothing to eat, including me.
The moral of the story is use your own common sense, use your eyes, touch the soil, get a feel for it, and most importantly of all, stop listening to people who do not do it, they have their interests at heart, not yours.
Interesting times, I can not wait for the last chapter, keep planting seeds people.
Have a superb day, and get your grow on.
