I don't know, but do they really? Most farmers I know are fairly conservative.
NONE I've ever spoken to.
Ummm. Not really sure you’re getting this right… except maybe the farm stand part. All the apple farms I know use H2A visa workers, adverse effects wage is set at 16.95 this year plus you pay for them to come , pay their housing, provide transportation to go shopping and pay for them to go home. Yeah it’s aimed at the produce and fruit producers and it’s a real shame. Lots of guys getting out because it just isn’t worth it with all the regs and BS. Whenever someone asks me what’s the hardest part of farming, my answer is always the same. Dealing with all the BS from .GOV
I know A LOT of farmers only one who’s a liberal and he’s a douch anyway …. So there’s that. The farmers ain’t the ones voting for this shit I guarantee it.
Some farmers do and some don't.
What farmers vote for the left? I know a lot of farmers and one is a liberal. All the others hate what’s happening to NYS and the USA in general.
They pay for plenty while here. I took my guys to the bottle depot twice on my own time for free, to deposit over 200.00 worth of beer cans… Ya think they woulda bought me a sixer for my trouble..
I’m not worried in the least. I’ll eat … I’m just gonna miss hot showers and the internet
you wouldn't happen to have a 50amp outlet I can plug the Escape Pod into? And if you need a hot shower, look into an E-Z Tankless water heater. Just need water, 2 D-cell batteries and a 20lb LPG tank
I got *Dishy* = Starlink, right now we're in the middle of the Arizona desert. works like a charm, right now we're at 22Mbps, with a 45ms latency
Around my area, there's a few of the organic grass fed dairies, and I have seen the leftist bumper stickers and campaign signs on their property.
These are not farmers , they are early retired lawyers, professors ect who have too much money and want to be farmers …
The lefty farmer I met told me he loved the idea of it didn’t apply to him since his workers were only seasonal and didn’t work hard. This wasn’t voted on by the people it was the queen’s decree
One of my best friends operates a substantial sized Apple Orchard and as you described above, that is just one of the obstacles NYS places in front of Farms. It cost a hell of a lot of money to fly dozens of Jamaicans round trip to Syracuse, pay for their visa applications, supply housing set to State Standards, provide vehicles, transportation, etc. and next year their Hourly is going to $18.xx an hour PLUS overtime. The State has mandated that Water used to irrigate Apple Trees must come from Treated sources, so that irrigation pond or well that you draw thousands of gallons per hour from has to go through an approved filtration system be it their own or Municiple. The entire perimeter of the Orchard has to be Fenced in in such a way that people and animals cannot gain access, they cannot spray crops without permission, and that spray has to be approved, applied by someone licensed/trained yearly to do so, and then there's someone that comes out to the Farm and say's "OK, you can spray on these days only".
