Northern Farmer

We just finished up combining this year’s oats and it wasn’t as bad as I had figured it would be. Must have done at least sixty bushels to an acre and it feels pretty heavy. Pays to plant that stuff the moment a person can get into the field in spring. Next week we’ll bale the straw up and be finished with it all. A couple of days ago I almost fell out of my reading chair when I received the latest issue of Small Farmer’s Journal. I’m in it! Well, of course it’s just a letter to the editor, but I never thought I’d be in my favorite publication. And it didn’t end there, yesterday I received a phone call from a like minded farmer in SW Minnesota that seen the letter and couldn’t believe there was someone else in the state that thought like him. The fella even plants MN 13 OP corn!! Now we’re getting somewhere, eh. Plus he farms somewhat with horses and even has a horse up here in my country getting worked by some Amish. It’s always good to hear from like minded folks around here, sometimes a person feels a little alone, although I know we’re not, and the more folks we find out about, the better.

The other day I was in the south pasture almost two miles south of here and ended up talking to a neighbor that had just moved out there a year and a half ago. He’s a high school teacher in a town south of us and he started telling me about some class he was teaching. And was it interesting! This guy could be a speaker for the kind of folks that read this blog and blog themselves. He was saying that the class he was teaching covered multi national ag companies take over of the world. See what I mean about interesting. About how they go into third world countries, pay off the dictators and patent all the agriculture crops that they possibly can. How it’s happening at an alarming pace and soon will have everything wrapped up. Now this has always burned my hide, enough to say the word revolution. I’m so sick and tired of this society of lemmings and wimpy, in debt to their eyeballs consumers letting the world go down the tubes just to satisfy their own immediate short sited lusts that I could just scream! Hey, lets head to Wally World and buy imported junk. And now Wally World says they are going to be “THEE” organic food supplier to the lemmings. So we got a couple of multi national ag companies sewing up the worlds seed and plant supplies, one company saying they are going to control all supposed organic food supplies and everyone lives happily ever after. Let’s just consume, consume and consume, and never produce anymore, heck we can import everything and just have recreation around here. Everyone knows the economy will always keep going, everyone knows we can borrow and never even have to pay a dime on principle because in a few years the economy will make you rich because we borrowed so much, or something like that. It’s so insane it’s hard to comprehend the thinking of modern society anymore. When a person looks at it all from our perspective out here, tending the land and animals, I truly cannot believe what I’m seeing and hearing. I wonder, was society always this ignorant?

We all know about National Animal ID and how good it will be for all of us and make our country so secure and all that stuff. Also they are talking about chipping everyone in the next few years too. And we’re not talking about the distant future, we’re talking about the end of this decade. They say it’ll make identity theft a thing of the past, heck, you won’t even need a credit card with you or a check, or cash for that matter, they’ll just scan us and all transactions are taken care of. If anyone supposedly needs to find a missing person, bingo, they’ll locate anyone and everyone instantly. Oh, I feel so much better now knowing all these good things are being planned. I think we have a book in this house that mentions these things happening, oh yeh, that’s the book we take to church and also read every evening. The government is in a mad rush to destroy our national independence by signing away everything in “free trade agreements”, again under the guise of greater prosperity. And the lemming chant in agreement.

The one good thing in all of this is that book we have here in the house that we take to church every Sunday and Wednesday evening does say what the final outcome is going to be. So I figure we’ll invest in the winning side. It won’t make us the most popular folks around, but we’ll stand firm. We’ll be called weird or nutcases, or religious fanatics. That’s OK with me, I’ve been called a heck of a lot worse in my day. On this land that we tend we’ll keep on going against everything that this supposed greater society will come up with. Interesting how every single thing that they come up with will result in destruction in the end, the destruction of freedom, the destruction of any and all individual rights, and the main goal, the destruction of the family.

It won’t be a time to hide, or try to remain silent. It’ll be a time to proclaim the winning side. Jesus ain’t coming back for a church of hiders that won’t proclaim the gospel and just keep to themselves, especially those that do that now when the times are still not that rough, when we still have remnant rights to proclaim the Good News. No, He wants His Body to be doing what He told them to do, period. That’s what we’ll do here on the farm, wherever we go, and on the old computer too. If a person can’t see, or should I rephrase that to, won’t see, I pity them. There’s no doubt on what’s coming, everything is lining up as is in the Good Book, everything. The thinkers don’t get it and never will, mainstream society won’t get it as long as the thinkers are always thinking wrong, trying to make God into man’s image or denying Him altogether,. On our farm’s website is our family’s proclamation, “as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord”. I always loved that and that’s what we will do.
