🌾 🇺🇸 👨🌾 U.S. Farm Bankruptcies Surge +46% as Fertilizer Costs Squeeze Farmers:
The American Farm Bureau Federation reported 315 Chapter 12 bankruptcy filings in 2025, up from 216 in 2024 and the third consecutive annual increase.
The Midwest got hit hardest with 121 filings, a +70% jump.
The Southeast followed with 105, up +69%.
Together, those two regions accounted for more than two-thirds of every farm bankruptcy in the country.
Fertilizer prices are pouring gasoline on the fire.
Urea, the most widely used nitrogen fertilizer on the planet, has ripped +87% year-to-date and trades near $720 a tonne.
For corn growers who depend on nitrogen, this is a dire situation.
Many farmers are reporting they will cut the amount of fertilizer they use, shift from corn toward less nitrogen-dependent soybeans, or just take the yield loss.
Farms are under pressure.

Weather modification/manipulation?! Equals market manipulation! Just saying!! Just look at the storms across the Midwest lately! These farmers can't plant their crops if the ground is too wet! It's all by design folks...

Okay, this blew my mind
This is a can of black olives “with no artificial colors.” These are the olives we’ve all eaten in America
They aren’t black. Not even close, but they taste exactly the same
The color is more of a lighter/ medium brown shade rather than a dark black color
Of course I had to look into this,
Traditional super dark black olives we know in America are picked green and unripe. They’re treated with lye, exposed to oxygen, and then stabilized with ferrous gluconate. This fixes a consistent, deep black color
The black olives we all know and love should actually look like this in the video…..

Please don’t get distracted by performative politics.
You have to pay attention to what is happening behind the scenes, especially when something else sucks up all of the headlines.
I’ve been writing about the intersection of Big Ag and Big Data on my Substack, The Signal.
The USDA just signed a $300M deal with Palantir to centralize all farmer data.
That brings Palantir’s Government contracts to over $6 Billion.
The company was named after the all-seeing "palantíri" stones in The Lord of the Rings by Palantir’s founder Peter Thiel as a deliberate reference to the ability to "gaze across vast distances to track friends and foes.”
The new system they are implementing is called “One Farmer, One File,” and it will combine USDA records into one digital profile for each farmer.
It arrives one day after a watchdog sued five agencies over Palantir surveillance systems.
Food system consolidation has historically operated through the physical: four firms controlling 85% of beef packing, just a few controlling 60% of seeds, a highly consolidated grocery market, etc..
But now this means unprecedented informational consolidation: farm payments, acreage reporting, program access, and support all run through one private platform.
Palantir’s use case is very specific: turning fragmented data into actionable surveillance.
They now effectively monopolize the data for the entire food system meaning everything from policy, subsidy, and compliance will flow through their data.
This is why local, decentralized food systems are so important.
When we buy from centralized supplies, we lose choice.
Help support our local farmers and fight for a more sovereign food system.

BIOENGINEERED LAB-GROWN "MEAT" IS ALREADY IN STORES — AND THEY’RE HIDING IT FROM YOU!
Look for these words on the labels:
❌ “CELL CULTURED”
❌ “CELL CULTIVATED”
❌ “CULTURED MEAT” or “CULTIVATED MEAT”
If you see ANY of them — DO NOT BUY IT.
This is NOT natural meat from a farm animal.
This is BIOENGINEERED fake meat grown in giant lab vats from animal cells in the form of fetal bovine serum FBS. Never walked on grass. Never saw sunlight.
They’re using soft-sounding words to trick you.
Your family deserves REAL food, not lab experiments disguised as dinner.

Prohibition wasn’t about stopping people from drinking alcohol, it was about stopping farmers from creating their own fuel for their machines.
Making hemp illegal wasn't to keep people safe, it was to maintain the petroleum Monopoly.

Agenda 2030 in the Netherlands 🇳🇱⚠️
Step by step, hardy noticed by the majority, people are banned from the forests. Eventually their pets will have to be exterminated 'due to pollution'.
This is happening and people just don't see it..
