Inside Rural America - Enemy of the State?

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.พ. 2024
- High population areas of the United States, Canada, and Europe have become so removed from the rural areas where food is made that they have forgotten the people who grow the very food everyone eats!
Due to this breakdown in understanding between Urban and Rural areas, laws have been passed by the higher population areas that are a disaster to the rural areas. This has caused the people of the rural areas to feel that they are an enemy of the state!
In this video, you are invited to experience the conversation of 2 amazing men in southern Colorado as they speak out about the issues they face.
Without farmers/ producers there is no food no backbone to our country. Thank you farmers. God bless
I'm thinking the folks in NYC are rethinking things..
Exactly, that's why I'm following a few homesteaders!!!@RC-fi4ix

I understand your point. The problem is Remember when AOC went to the southern border. She drove back north through open land just like this video.
She thinks this open Land and the people that live there should NOT have a voice in any debate over land use. She is an elected official from NY, and has "0" is clueless about how the land provides her with living comfort. It's just like her comment on what a grinder does under your sink. Totally clueless, yet NY voters voted her into office.
Thats literally what "they" want- people to starve, to death, and in turn, lower Co2.
@RC-fi4ix- Far too many live in apartments, townhomes or zero lot line homes - they have little space to grow anything. Then you have HOAs and city ordinances limiting/forbidding chickens and less frequently gardens.
Tough for those people to grow their own.
Farmers / ranchers around the world are being pressured out . Don’t give up ! We all need people like you !
Yeah, you country folks run into bankruptcy while them city folk keep electing people to screw you over
We had a Dairy Farm for 40 years….milking 100 cows and putting up our own feed…just me and hubby. Did we always get our bills paid? Yes we did, but we worked our asses off for hardly any profit after bills. One 3 day weekend was our time off in ALL of those 40 years. Never ever took a sick day…lucky we rarely got sick. My point being is…why do farmers have to work for free just so people get the cheap food THEY want, while ‘town job” people took their vacation, sick time, fancy cars and homes. We said enough in 2018 and sold the cows. People can milk their own cows in my ever humble opinion….cuz they don’t want to give us a fair wage for dairy farmers to do it for them. ✌🏻❤️🐄
I'm afraid it's all by design. The state will take over the farms and food production and decide WHO gets to eat (satanists). The videographer made the three 6 sign. Study the French Revolution and the Holodomor to understand what we're up against. God Bless.
THATS MY DADDDDD!! On a real note I appreciate your time and dedication for understanding our side of the story. And educating those who may not understand our lifestyle.
Wow wow wow...I love how he explained the things that he said....VERY IMPORTANT ❤❤❤
God Bless...shame what they've done to that state
Thank you for raising my food!❤🥩 God bless the ranchers and farmers!
When you talk to people out here, they all dream of farming and raising their own food. I’m in Washington, you have a lot of people here pulling for you.
Watching and supporting from detroit mi. You said it right land rich money broke
Thanks for putting this out there Trinity...the general public desperately needs to hear the rancher/farmer side of the story.
Fund our country 1st. Not foreign countries. Protect those who make this country.
It's called money laundering.
It's not the foriegn friends we need to stop funding. We need to educate people on how to live with the land and the people who maintain it. Then teach people of rural areas how the city people need to live. Educate and compromise..
No more compromising for the last 20 years we've comprised ourself out of America. We farm this is a great story of ag history
About the millionth person to mention that the only way to get the country back is to fight for it they're banking on people wanting piecfull solutions between the courts and the sheeple and the promise of an upcoming election wasting enough time for them to do whatever they damn well please as if that isn't obvious hey
They are funding this country. They just chose to fund the inner city and provide services to illegal migrants while they reject/neglect the rural and suburban communities.
We need to pray for these ranchers and farmers. And for the leaders of our country. For their eyes to be opened to the truth
They KNOW the truth my friend. They are evil....pure and simple
You need to act also, not just pray.
Absolutely while we're here we're operating as God's hands and feet for our brothers and sisters we got a rally together@@WebsInYourHead

Our strength comes from a VARIETY of energy sources.
Our resources are the foundation we are built on. Protect our resources! Beware of corporations that can vote.
The world is using up resources faster than nature can provide them. That's a fact.
I used to live in southern Colorado in las animas county for many years till I moved back to Indiana. I currently reside on my family farm. These farmers and ranchers go through some tough times. You do the job because it’s in your blood. There isn’t much money in farming or ranching. Land rich but cash poor. Colorado is in a sad state of affairs since the California people moved in and took over. The hippies ruined the state of Colorado. I knew many people in the area. This wolf situation is terrible. Should have never happened.
It's all by design.
I don't even think it was the hippies... I lived in CO in the 00's and as far as I could tell the hippies had infested Boulder, Telluride, Nederland, Springs, Breck, etc since the 70's. They were there for 45 years and then ~10-12 years ago something "evil" crept in... I AM a 90's/00's hippie/Deadhead, and I still run in those circles (I just do a lot less running...) and we're mostly Trump supports now, lol. He's a populist, and "Live and let live" is the mantra of the Dead scene. Patriotic, America-loving, "let me do my thing, I'll let you do yours, as long as neither of us is preventing the freedom of anyone else (within reason... and banning things like guns, hunting, forcing kids to get trans propaganda in schools. That's not reasonable and is far from not harming the freedom of others)
Anti-gun is not a thing I've heard in these circles, I'm sure it exists, but I spent 4-5 years following what was left of the Dead from show to show every spring/summer, so I know that community pretty well. The closest I can see is the fringe minority (even in this community) of hardcore vegans who would be the type to want to ban guns and introduce wolves, but they are really more on the eco-terror commie side of things. They do show up to some of the same shows, but they're kind of pariah's even in the Dead scene, lol.
I was out in Boulder for shows a few times over the last 5 years, went to some of my old stomping grounds, and the only "hippies" left out there are late 30's/early 40's+ moderates. What you're seeing are COMMIES. Revolutionary commies at that. Those people destroyed the left altogether, and essentially displaced people like myself out of the "left" (and at heart I still think of myself as lefty, but when I was in college being "far-left" meant you wanted the drug war to end, anti-interventionism, and maybe wanted a better social safety net that was transitory/short-term for when tragedy strikes, not long term welfare state bs) That's about all I can even think of, but people were a LOT less political at that time too. It wasn't "Bread & Circus" like it has been the last 8-10 years.
But I digress... Oh, and since you moved back to Indiana and I am such an autist when it comes the the Dead/Jerry Garcia, there's an amazing instrumental cover of "Back Home in Indiana" from Jerry's "Compliments" album from 1974. If you like Texas Swing (ish) kind of Django/gypsy jazz, you should check it out here on YT ;) I'm ashamed to say I was a leftist, but I'll never be ashamed of being a Grateful Dead fanatic! Trump 2024!
@@dresdenliamwow, someone else who's awake! I made the same comment. It started with the banks foreclosing on family farms in the 80s. The only way to survive was mega farms that treat animals terribly, more pollution per square foot than natural cleansing can stand, and more disease like salmonella. Farmers should never have had to pay property taxes and should have had some way to save their farms from foreclosure. By the way, international banks have engineered every financial upheavals in the country and the world.
@@robynperdieu3434 absolutely agree and understand what’s going on.
Farmer & Ranchers FIRST Mr. Trinity, you are working your way into a SENATE SEAT
👏👏👏👏👏👏
BY FOR THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE
Ranchers ,Farmers, Truckers are what matters .
Whew! This one got pretty heavy…
Thanks to Steve and Nathan for hosting Trinity regarding this vital topic.
WAKE UP AMERICA!
The foundation of our very existence is agriculture… it’s Biblical!!
Thank you, Trinity and your guest!
T V.. I'm in Northern Lower Michigan. We have lost all of the Farms here in the NE Tip of The Mitten, All the 15-25 Head of Cows has been gone for 25yrsthe 125acer farms Gone. We just found Wolf tracks Again here in our area.. Very Unfortunate that No ONE has any idea what my 17acer Small Farm is about..My Childern are the 5th Genaration to Grow and Sell Food to the people of the County We live in.. This trip you've made around that State has been well done
I'm so sorry to hear about the losses 😢 We definitely don't want another country to buy our USA land!!!😮😢
I am in northern Wisconsin and no deer 🦌 or rabbits or grouse first it was the pine martens they let go and they took the rabbits and grouse and gray squirrels and the wolves have exploded in my area and the cougars and flourish to .
😢😢😢😢😢😢
@@gaylecoleman8567 maybe some day it will effect you .but you never been in the woods or had to hunt for your food .
@@davidevans474nonsensical comment.....
Land rich & money poor. This was an eye-opener. Thank you to our ranchers & farmers. Kids are not being educated to reality. We need ALL the resources we can get, here in the U.S.! No limitations, or survival will not exist, as is.
Our survival makes the rich city folk unhappy.
No respect for the tree huggers who desire extension for us, or go back to the caveman existence.
I don't know jack about ranching but the family lifestyle looks nice and reminds me of my grandparents Era. Big family dinners and working the land all hours. It's all across the West pricing farmers off the land. So much so that aside from lush grass they think your insane for wanting to grow a food crop. In the EU it's the same, increase land quotas to access necessary grants for farming
one of your best Mr. Vandenacre , double thumbs up
Thank you for all of the explanation! Just wish we could make sure all the voters would have to watch this!
You're letting us know more about these wolf problems and what the hard working farmers are facing in Colorado and other states. Thanks Trinity for the great work your doing in the last couple video's. Take care.
The wolf reintroduction by the Wisconsin DNR has been HORRIBLE for hunters, ranchers and ALL citizens. Fight wolves tooth and nail Colorado!
I really like this series you've been on. Thank you for bringing to the public how hard it is to be a modern rancher. Great episode again!
Trinity I been listening to you for awhile your the voice we need in government you need to keep inspiring people. I see a lot in PA my farm has been in the family for a 158 years . I just don't know how long I can go on . taxes and insurance will be the end.
So they can steal your farm.
Pa. Land of taxes , commonwealth tax sucks
Pa, taking all the farms to build more 1.5 million dollars homes all for property tax purposes,
Gid bless you. Sending lots of love.
Great explanations of what’s going on destroying our freedom, rural communities, and families. These issues are destroying my home town at a very fast rate which being in California doesn’t help. My grandparents never thought they would see such a thing. Coming from a founding family of the are I work a job for a company so that maybe one day I can afford a piece of land so I can live like my family used too. Keep spread the word and trying to educate the ignorant.
Banding together in co-ops and other like-minded groups is a good way to “make up” for smaller numbers, but educating the urban folks about food and fuel issues is SO important and critical now-bless you all who produce our food and fuel-we all need to break up these mega-corporations!!!
Same with fisherman ; thanks and GOD bless from old New Orleans 😇
these videos are extremely important for the misinformed people that vote with their emotions, for them to see the whole story, keep it up man
maybe some of them can be reached but things like this aren't just a game, it's life or death, the entire society runs on this
Great video Trinity was really nice to hear from family farmers and ranchers and their struggles. Just shows how much we need to produce energy in the USA👍
Yet the government complains about the farmers cow patties methane gassing off. Don't give up and let China buy your land.
That is all true. We live on 35 acres in La Plata County 12 minutes from Durango. Thanks for the tour and the great stories. My wife and I worked our careers to afford where we are and love the country life. As a boy in Oklahoma I worked for local ranchers and got a lot of fresh air, put in fencing, fed cows and horses, hunted etc. Now we have some land and started raising chickens. Fun times!
Thank you Trinity for this amazing segment you are doing. It's so important that people wake up and see what is going on and not be so short sighted. It's the same here in Canada.
Its the rich F'n things up.
Again, another great piece of information . These men are speaking the absolute truths of life and the consequences of bad decisions made by people who have no skin in the game. Who benefits from these bad decisions is where you find the answers and solutions to these problems.
He’s so right get over 70 and see how you slow down, it’s my most flustered thing in life now. The golden years suck for sure. 😮😮 Another great series Trinity.
Boy howdy!
Old age ain't for wimps😡😩🤷♂️
Thankyou , a distressing video .even for the consumer .
In the Bible it says the hearts of men will fail them for the things that will come over the earth . Seems like some of that's coming to pass slowly and accelerating.
Thankyou for the report .use to live in Fort Collins .it started to change in the late seventies not for the good .
Enjoyed the talk .
I am from a big city and I LOVE your channel! The nicest folks are from the country/farmers/ranchers. I learn so much here and when you combine the topic with the people who live in the area are effected it shows the full circle of life. Many Blessings to the people who bring us our food. I wish for you all to have another wonderful vacation - you deserve it.
Thank you so much.
City people screw country folk by who they elect. That way they can feel good blaming any kick back on someone else

This is my part of colorado! Thank you for being a conduit for more of our voices to be heard.
I wish more Americans could watch this common sense reality . Thank you for this video
Great stuff Trinity! These folks are pure Salt-of the earth people and their perspective is right on point. I hope more people see your series and learn the truth about the wolves and the devastation that come with them. The citidoits that vote these things in are blind to the facts of what impact it has on the environment. If they knew firsthand what it takes to keep a ranch or farm running to feed the country maybe they would be more supportive and less fascinated with the idea of wolves. Thanks for sharing and I can't wait to see what's next.
Trinity, you are just doing a wonderful job. Just continue the coverage of everything that people need to see so they get educated and know the truth. We are just being lied to every single day for their greed.

No one first, that takes away Liberty and why we’re in this mess. Leave everyone alone - first.
@@RastamanLiveUpwell without them, and truckers that distribute the food, you starve. So put yourself first on that list if that makes you happy. But as for me I will put those 3 at the most important resources we have.
They intend for us to starve.
@@lorimcmillon3217He literally said no one first, you put words in his mouth. That's what's called a straw man logical fallacy. If people don't come to the reality of climate change, the traditional ways of farming and food crops potentially won't survive a couple of degrees world temperature temperature increases. There will be no need for truck drivers if few people survive loss of food crops, rising ocean levels, stronger weather effects, mega drouts etc.... Unfortunately, the reality is that the trucking industry is inevitably going to transition to fully automated driverless trucks. It's not quite here yet but you can certainly bet automation is to the advantage of the business, isn't Capitalism just grand?
I'm in my 60's. Growing up in a rural part of Wisconsin most of my classmate grew up on farms. The Federal and State Government through policies destroyed the family farm. As a kid everywhere we went we saw dairy cows on pasture. Most weekend we went and helped relatives on their farms. I learned the value of hard work and building a future for the next generation.
This has all been destroyed in one generation. Any farms that still exist are Big Corporate Farms. Family Farmers had an opportunity to build wealth for their family and their community.
You could not be more right. I grew up on a farm in Wisco in the 1960s-'70s and gov't policies have DESTROYED our way of life.
Republicans destroyed farms. When you going to figure that out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amish r last to turn out the light in the dairy parlour. I'm in sw mich near Indiana border...we r in first oldest Amish settlement in Michigan ...17 miles n.w. of shipshewana Indiana...many "Englishers" drive Amish for a living. We do have factory farm...tanker trucks at the ready, three milkings a day, cow's never see daylight barely...no pasturing. It's evil. Meanwhile, BG the Microsoft billionaire in Belize wants us all to eat soy not dairy.
Is calling it Wisco a southern Wisconsin thing? I thought it was Illinois people. I dont care for that, wisco, just call it Wisconsin or Wi, stop trying to be cutsie

First time here. I live in an area where generational farming is. Its all disappearing. You are some of the hardest working people ever. Love y'all.
I live rural and am fully involved in my local politics... IT IS VITAL that we ALWAYS VOTE in our LOCAL ELECTIONS...
Don't let "Others" choose your Sheriff, Prosecutor, Judges, County Supervisors, Town Council Members, Mayor, Planning/Land Use Commission Members, Water Board Members, School Board Members, and other LOCAL OFFICIALS for you.
Collaborate with your family, friends, and neighbors, and VOTE AS A BLOCK in order to put good freedom loving American Patriots into your LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
We must NOT give up... we may not have much power in electing the higher government officials but we can absolutely have a say in LOCAL POLITICS. Please stand in the gap for your children, grandchildren, and the future generations to come.
100% agree!
Great Topics. Thanks for sharing. I couldn't agree more.
It's sad to see the state I was born and raised in being changed because of politicians that want to change the way they say we need to live our lives.
It’s the people. The people have allowed the government to become their masters. It’s sad whenever there is some issue or problem the people of today demand and beg for more government.
I am glad you are shining the light on this subject!
"I'm used to that, I'm married"... Hilarious!!!! I know this all too well!!! 30 years... 🤣🤣🤣

That's a political issue, your argument doesn't address the efficiency of the technology. The Indians won the rights to their resources, the company that installed the wind turbines doesn't own those rights. Your argument isn't academically honest.
@@carlatamanczyk3891The circular reasoning fallacy is an argument that assumes the very thing it is trying to prove is true. Instead of offering evidence, it simply repeats the conclusion, rendering the argument logically incoherent.
The Affective Fallacy (also The Romantic Fallacy; Emotion over Reflection; "Follow Your Heart"): An extremely common modern fallacy of Pathos, that one's emotions, urges or "feelings" are innate and in every case self-validating, autonomous, and above any human intent or act of will (one's own or others'), and are thus immune to challenge or criticism. IE.."I feel it, so it must be true."
Excellent video the wealth of knowledge and insight by these two hard working men sums up the situation we are now in. We are faced with similar issues here in rural British Columbia >
I live in Colorado, no need to imagine what it is like. The inmates are running the asylum.
I hear conversations like this every day here in Idaho. Wolves have decimated the elk and deer heards, ranchers are giving up ranching because the kids can make more in town. Corporate outfits and foreign concerns buying up the farmlands... Californians move into an area and destroy the local economy and culture, they bring their drugs and crime and then holler about the number of guns they see hanging in the racks of a pickups... I watched the same thing happen in Utah in the 1970's, then to Washington and Oregon and now it's happening in Montana.
Sadly, it's all by liberal design. God bless you fellers, keep your head on a swivel, and your nose in the wind.

It brings a tear to my eye, this same play book is being played out globally. I'm watching this from Ireland and the exact same thing is going on here, different methods but same results. It makes me so made, especially considering that the general population do not give two fzcks. God bless these ranchers.
Thank you sir you are in my country now, the wolf issue is a serious issue and its not the only one affecting our farmers and ranchers and they are also changing building restrictions they are changing and permitting gardens and whether you can raise animals on your property and most this came AFTER CA moved in. Its been a nightmare. County turned my area into a badger reserve. One more thing for my farmers out there, I was out by Grand Mesa Park, drove by what looked to me like an Elk herd farm, found that interesting, the elk were totally fenced in and looked like they were being raised. I dont know what happened to this University invention but ran across something called a power pod, they produce twice the energy of ugly wind power, they are small and can be placed in buildings anywhere. Assuming that wont pay investors of ugly, wasteful wind generators. Also saw a test property for hydrogen power almost 10 years ago and was told Japan had working nuclear fusion.
The wolf reintroduction by the Wisconsin DNR has been HORRIBLE for hunters, ranchers and ALL citizens. Fight wolves tooth and nail Colorado!
Yes, yes we are. We just want to be left alone and do our thing.
All our young people need to spend thirty days on a ranch before starting high school. They cannot understand how everything needs to work together for everyone to survive. It's time for ALL the caring and loving Americans to unite together against ALL of this craziness.
Not sure what’s more annoying, the replacement of the wolf or that guys windshield wipers going top speed for the whole ride.
Great video as usual Trinity!
The wolf reintroduction by the Wisconsin DNR has been HORRIBLE for hunters, ranchers and ALL citizens. Fight wolves tooth and nail Colorado!
The issue with wolves that no one talks about is that during the summer range season cattle in Wolf country, never get an opportunity to loaf due to the need for constant vigilance. This means that they are unable to put on weight like they would normally.
In Montana and Idaho after wolf reintroduction ranchers I know of saw a 10 to 20% decrease in the fall weight of cattle coming off the forest and mountain range land.
In a good year, a rancher may make 10-15%. The wolves are literally eating up all the profit, without even killing a cow simply by preventing cattle from gaining weight.
I’m a out of state hunter in Colorado from Mississippi. In the last ten years the Colorado game and fish have made getting a license harder and harder and have raised the cost and run most hunters too go to other states or not go at all. I used to go every year but now I have to save up and go every other year. Now there wolves! 😮 I’m going back to New Mexico now to hunt.
The wolf reintroduction by the Wisconsin DNR has been HORRIBLE for ALL wildlife and ALL citizens. Fight wolves tooth and nail Colorado!
My family was here on one side since the beginning, my great great grandmother was full blooded Cherokee, my grandfather was one of the first of the ones to come here, and a colony in Jamestown, in the 1600s.
THANK YOU RANCHERS AND FARMERS ❤❤❤
God bless rural America. You are the true heart and soul of this country.
Education is the key. 33% think their food originated from the grocery store and 33% think farmers and ranchers are bad. That leaves the rest of us trying to convince them that they are in need of family owned ranches and farms.
First time seeing your stuff on TH-cam. Good job.
God bless ranchers i live in hoehne Co
I call that going to town for staples. I use to run wells with my ex husband. I gauged tanks with a plumb bob, read the gas meters and opened gates. In the winter it was a full days work but summer time was a breeze. That was my favorite job.
These are the people who just get shoved to the side because they’re behind the scenes and no one worries about them until they get hungry or they run out of fuel. In other words when the supplies to New York run out only then are they important.
Well I appreciate these families and all the hard work they do. I love my fruit and vegetables and especially my steaks and I am quite fond of being able to drive to take care of my business. Don’t get me wrong I love my horse but I’m not sure about using him for transportation and I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t be a fan of that either.
I believe every issue these people have needs to be addressed no matter what it is. They are the backbone of our society and I for one appreciate their efforts. God bless.
A Farmer told me years ago, A Satisfied Stomach won't rebel..
We have got to support the farmers/ranchers!
Nobody in the city would ever talk like this. They don't have a deep understanding of how the world works. That little comment about how we will never get as efficient at using photons as grass, that was such an insightful and true comment.
God bless our farmers and ranchers! 🇺🇸 Stand Strong- American patriots stand with you!
Great video, I hope it gets a lot of views and wakes a few folks up to reality !
Subscribed; conservation biologist and agroecology here; I always appreciate some real experience. A lot of my contemporaries in conservation I am at odds with because I take my work from an biological and ecological perspective rather than an ideological one. Many times this puts me at odds with them and sided with the ranchers and loggers (a SELECTIVE cut won't cause harm if done properly, the term 'sustainable yield' was invented by the timber industry).
So here's a few tips from my dept. that can help your bottom line: check dams on gullies increase pasture yields while reducing erosion. Agropastoralism is a fancy word for growing trees with your cattle; the shade and shelter can increase weight gains by 20% and improves survival rates.
More I'd have to see the site in question.
Trinity, finding your channel and watching some of the topics you talk about really strikes a nerve and of course that's wolves. As a hunter that's hunted Colorado a few times but much more in NW Montana almost every year since 1991 for two weeks at a time DIY, I've seen the rise in the wolf numbers and decline in the deer numbers there first hand over the years.
I believe there's more at play with why the wolves were brought back than simply using the endangered species act.
What I'm going say is not a swipe at the "family farm or ranch" but is pointed toward the large corporations that dominate the beef industry, also the ones that import beef from outside the country. Which in my opinion should not be allowed anyways. I was shocked to find the US imports 3425 million pounds of beef. We are definitely selling out our family farms and ranches.
At 50:50 you started to touch on just one of the reasons for wolf re introduction. Food supply and large Corporations. Consider the following point.
When the wolves bring down the game populations perhaps to the point of closing hunting seasons. How much Venison will hunters no longer be able to provide for families? WHO would possibly benefit from a scenario of less venison available? One way or another the general population will consume protein via meat. If not venison, it'll probably be beef. So with that in mind consider the following and I'm not even mentioning the amount of meat from elk or other game.
If 40,000 deer are shot in Colorado every year by hunters and we use the average of a typical deer weighing 150lbs, normally 1/3 is deboned meet. So 50lbs of deboned meet for the hunter and family. For sake of argument lets just say its all made into burger and no steaks.
So that's 2 million pounds of venison burger provided for families which the big corporate beef farms have no financial gain from.
The average ground beef price is $8.31 a pound. That means by the public eating venison, potentially the beef industry lost out on 16 million dollars of revenue. If we calculate steak into this equation then its even more money.
This is just in Colorado. So calculate this number considering all the other states that have deer hunting. Michigan 275,000 deer yearly. Wisconsin 173,000 deer yearly. Montana about 50,000 yearly. Texas 500,000+ yearly. On and on and it becomes a really big number. Does the big corporate beef industry benefit indirectly from lower game populations, sure they do.
The amount of cattle lost from wolves, a big corporate company could easily absorb. Not so with a smaller family size ranch, they simply don't play with those same big dollar amounts. A smaller family farm wants nothing to do with wolves on the landscape and understandably so. As with everything in United States, every industry is set up for the larger corporations to have better cost across the board. The "Beef industry" which is comprised of mainly corporate farms both inside and outside the US has lobbyist rubbing shoulders with law makers at state and federal levels to help push their interest. Big corporate farms especially foreign owned ones that import beef could careless about the small family farms and push agendas that benefit them solely, wolves being just one.
Wolves will stress the small family farms with just one more thing like you said and the hunter buys more store bought meet due to lack of success. With low game numbers chances are that meat a hunter then buys comes from outside the U.S. due to us importing 50% of our beef. Importers love we are losing cattle ranches and have wolves.
This same scenario can also be applied to the auto insurance industry and the big AG industry with less claims and less crop damage being the goal. In the united states we have about 1.5 million deer/car accidents which cost about 1.5 billion in damage. The insurance industry loves wolves and low game populations and they too have their lobbyist to push their interest.
We could also mention the Big Timber Forest industry with the certified forest agenda. They too benefit from low deer numbers. Low deer numbers mean faster tree regeneration after cuttings.
The reasons for wolves being brought back and left largely unchecked in numbers is connected to those who financially benefit and a for sure way to have low game populations is to let the wolves do their work 24/7/365. This is a view and an angle that mostly goes unheard but you started to touch on it when mentioning control of food. Its a rabbit hole for sure and big money is hidden behind it.
And does the boar problem in Texas, Georgia and Florida relate to this also?
Hey Trinity! Great to see you on this platform!! 😊
Just to reassure you, I'm on your side 100%. You gentlemen are right on the money.
There's a lot of "magical thinking" in the wind and solar movement.
I am a conservative property owner who lives in Southern Illinois. Our senators and the presidential race are winner take all. About 5 counties rule the state.
I could spend all day talking to these guys. They feel like family after just that interaction. Thank you for introducing them, and talking to them and bringing us along!
Florida here, farm land and wild lands being sold to housing developers. Local people go to the meetings and the elected people for our county vote on the side of the developers . It’s sickening what our state is becoming. One huge suburb connecting cities. Be thankful you guys are able to live out in the country and not in the stinkin asphalt city.
Sadly in Colorado , because of private property taxes , you in reality do not own the land , you merely lease it from the county/state , miss a property tax and see how long it is before the state seizes it and sells it to some one else
Real people. Real values. Real work ethic.
Thank you for another great video. The politics behind all this is unfortunately driven by greed and control. I don’t know how it’s going to work out but I do know that in the end God Will Win.
Excellent choice of folks to interview Trinity. Nate is a gold mine of info. Steve holds down the base with gravitas.
I drive a CNG tractor for UPS out to Wakeeny KS and meet a Denver driver who drives a CNG and I've been all over the country driving for UPS from California to NY and most of our fleet including the delivery trucks are CNG, some hubs have LNG but not very many.
In Northwestern Colorado you have the same thing. Except they are closer to the wolves that where released.😢
The wolf reintroduction by the Wisconsin DNR has been HORRIBLE for hunters, ranchers and ALL citizens. Fight wolves tooth and nail Colorado!
I love rural people, small towns, cattle ranchers, truckers, people who actually work for a living, and know what real work is. My wife grew up on a farm, and my girls loved going to visit grandma and grandpa, at the farm. They learned to ride horses and throw hay bales, picked the garden, carried water, drive the tractors, tend the cows, do other farm work..etc. I grew up small town, and learned to hunt, shoot, and work outdoors. My oldest daughter is a teacher in a small town ( much better than the city), and my youngest daughter and her husband have a farm in a northern state. Her husband grew up farming, and they have horses and cows. Life is work…but it’s enjoyable work.
State of Pa dept. of agriculture illegally confiscated all his food and is taking an Amish man to court for privately selling to his members … court date 2/29
Good video with a lot of correct information. The problem is city people don’t know shit about anything they just don’t understand how life works. Hopefully some of them watch this. Good job and keep up the good work
I would appreciate it if you don't categorize all of the city people. I'm city people and are many things, but stupi worked in the oil field. I've worked with wildlife and I've worked with farmers. I love all three call yourself stupid
@@tinaelsden7975 well that’s good to hear and if true your definitely a diamond in the ruff. Please pass on the good word to your fellow man but I will still stand fast and tell you a lot of the worlds problems come from the city. You have to admit most people think their hamburgers simply come from McDonald’s and that’s it. Several of them have a hard enough time figuring out if they are a man or women that day.
@@tinaelsden7975 your small existence isn't representative of the majority. Instead of being sensitive, why don't you understand what the original commenter was saying.
Trinity I sure do enjoy your videos! It’s nonsense reporting and very informative. Thank you
Very educational documentary. Great job!
It is going to be harder now because the younger ones have never gone without and now want instant gratification.
I grew up on a farm almost 70yrs ago in MD that my great grandfather started, then grandfather took over. This so angers me that it's become govt against farmers/ranchers. Why introduce wolves? Because it's just another way they are trying to take the food off our table. Those who have no idea where their food even comes from will be the loudest to yell, when grocery shelves go empty.
U are so spot on
Thankyou for the perspective of the ranchers and the difficult job they have to do to feed us all ..great video keep up the good work.
This is sad. Im on the remnants of land my family was gifted by the king in CT. It was a farm until the 1950's when it got chopped up and sold off. I have a small house on the remaining 19 acres. Last year I was sued for building a chicken coup (on skis) without a permit. The taxes are 12,000 a year. Black bears are absolutely out of control. Im close to selling off the rest and moving to my land up north in NH. It would be sad to have the land leave the family its been in for over 300 years. Not that much of it remains.
God bless these Americans 🇺🇸
Here in finland they banned almost all predator hunting this year. Now when we are in nato, and eu we have the same policy than usa. wef agenda 2030. It is same peoples running the whole west right now. farms are going down, no oil, no food, no money. Do you think they do this by accident?
We wanted to farm… in 1974 we bought 160 acres.. we both worked day jobs.. then came home and farmed all night to pay for the land. We could not just farm until we had retirement funds… really lucky. We have been retired for 20 years and still healthy enough to farm(what we wanted to do all the time). A word of caution… read the fine print on all government programs so they can’t tell you what to do. That is their secret
Everyone needs to watch this video.
Cedars and juniper don't take much water. They live without water for years. That willow would suck up more than a cedar, by far
Maybe you have a different kind of cedar than we do in the Northwest, ours only grows wear there is a fair amount of water sometimes it may be underground but it's there, and close.
@jeanettegray7462 yes, they're a different type and grow in the high desert, with no water. It takes 20 years for our cedars to grow 3 ft high. With a bit of water, they grow faster, but not much.
You have western red cedars in the north. Ours are a juniper cedar.
