share cropping
I posted several weeks ago about backyard farmers and sharecropping ...another way to boycott.
there are plenty of farmers that let people have vegetables just for the picking, but instead of just getting them for free, people could buy them directly from the small farmers -- canning is actually fun and you can enter your hard work in the county fair and then show off your ribbons
another way to fight back is to become sharecroppers where the farmer provides the land and the sharecroppers do all the work. My mother, brother-in-law and his friend did that one year -- my mother provided the land and the tractor and my brother-in-law and his friend did the work ... they planted and harvested 5 acres of watermelons, I couldn't believe you got so many watermelons on that small of a piece of land ...
you can also buy beef and pork directly from farmers too -- go to the local feed stores and they can tell you who sells beef and/or pork dressed out on halves or quarters, if you can use a whole beef that's great, but usually people buy a half
most neighborhoods allow chickens too, but not roosters, so you can have fresh eggs. I always said I'd never pluck another chicken, so I guess I'll have to give that up.
the American people can fight back against these meat packers and big farms that insist on illegal laborers -- if they want to play chicken, we can play along"Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it" George Santayana "Deo Vindice"
