Free Farm Friday

Brian and Melissa from Wild Aster Farm

Brian K from Texas

BRIAN AND MELISSA –

Wild and Free – New Segment on the Crusade Channel

1st Segment will be on Rose Hips – January/February and March one of the most available herbs during the dead of winter can still be found.

You are both really great behind the microphone, I wouldn’t have guessed you have stage fright.
Wild and Free Herb Report!
Heavily regulated FDA area in North Carolina – you can do them but if they find out they will heavily come after you.
You can’t say a certain plant lowers your blood pressure.
You can say it but they will come after you.
There are instances that they will come after you and take your farm.
People who sell herbs or supplements the FDA will come after you and they will leave you absolutely nothing.
Dr. Mercola and FDA warning letters –
You can’t link CLAIM to COMMERCE.
They assume you are making a claim about your product so you can’t even link the two on your website.

BRIAN K –

I haven’t had anything like that happen to me personally but I don’t technically sell my produce.
I barter w/ the neighbors etc and we don’t like the FDA and those alphabet groups.

BRIAN AND MELISSA –

You can’t say Eczema or COVID, vaccine or the flu or they will automatically come after you.
They create the problem and then create the medication that they prescribe to you for your problem.

BRIAN K –

The price of eggs – some is inflation but there was a high demand too.
4-5% increase for inflation and demand.
In a chicken cycle they slow down in production due to the winter.
Then you had the Avian flu where they culled 44 million birds.
There is a combination of inflation etc so it isn’t JUST inflation with egg prices.

HEADLINE: John Deere gives U.S. farmers right to repair equipment by Darryl Coote

U.S. manufacturer John Deere has agreed to allow American farmers the right to repair their own equipment, according to a U.S. agriculture industry lobby group.
The AFBF (American Farm Bureau Federation) usually sides w/ the big company but this time they sided w/ the farmers.
When you get that big it tends to create other problems.
When you get too big and out of scale you have to buy more equipment from the big companies to help harvest and you are then officially out of scale.
Farmer Brown should give up on the idea of selling your produce out of state.
