How are farmers viewed in your country?

Would you ever be one?

Pretty much a forgotten entity to the point we're only noticed when something goes horribly and irrevocably wrong.

I own a half a beef cattle and sheep farm with my sister and her husband. It doesn't pay the bills!
Hence I work and live in Sydney most of the time.

respectable i guess, people kind of forget we actually have farmers, ive never farmed or worked on a farm so probably not.

I would love to be a farmer. But only of veggies. Seems idyllic

USA killed our agriculture, the few there are are seen either as uneducated peasants, or rich fruit exporters

Some thing of them as bydlo from kolhoz, most don't really care about them I think.
I kinda dream about it sometimes, but it's hard to even start one in here, not even making it profitable.

I am from a farmer family. They are more just there. And no, other than debt and being paid not to farm from the government it is hard work for so little monetary gain, other than owning property.

they're often regarded as stubborn, uneducated people that are quite hard to deal with (in some regions it isn't the case, but for the most part, especially in the southern states, they're like that).
>Would you ever be one?
My family owns a ranch so we sometime spend some time there on vacations and know the basics (when got older i read many books on things related to it). I suppose i'd become one if shit hits the fan and things get really bad (know it's already bad here, but i'm sure we haven't hit the bottom).

WANNA

Heared about that, same thing happened here, though i'm not quite sure how much round-up is used on crop fields of the farmers that managed to survive the NAFTA. I have also heared of all the shit Monsanto's number one pesticide has done to some children that live near crop fields... very sad

Justice for all victims of Hacienda Cuckwankos-Fuckinos! Check all your privileges, YellowTards!

Utter disdain, to the point where the Farmer's Party had to change name to the Center Party.

I think you'd face a pretty bad identity crisis having 10,000 brothers and sisters, which is why I assume Judy hated the idea. It's not a bad life.

I wanna fuck that rabbit

>there are are seen either as uneducated peasants, or rich fruit exporters

Exactly this.

we respect them but don't admire them. i'm not likely to become one but i don't see anything wrong with it

I dont know how most people view them but to me they are like businessmen. The nostalgic view is that the lone farmer plows his field. American food production is probably the most mechanized in the world.

Idiots that wants nothing but money. Everything they vote for, all they use their limited brain capacity to think of and everything they do is making more money.

>there are are seen either as uneducated peasants, or rich fruit exporters

Quads do not lie.

ZT is best Disney movie, also pr0n is tops.

Like literally any other business owner?

That's not Aladdin m8

Enjoy listening to braindead Shakira while I put friend like me on infinite repeat

lies monsanto round up is harmless, those crops they genetically engineer to secrete round up are perfectly safe for consumption, monsanto has nothing to do with all the bees dying.

Link zt porn please

Pussy. Real men only raise steaks.

I don't want to kill little beasties though. I used to put spiders and stuff outside but now my cat just eats them

this
Only thing I would want to raise on a farm is meat and herbs to season that meat.

Pretty much yeah. You would expect farmers to care about nature and stuff, but pollution is only a worry whenever politicians try to stop the farmers from doing it in the farmers' eyes

well their life depends on those farms

They used to be considered retarded and poor rednecks, but things have changed since we joined the EU and they were literally awashed with euromoney, they built big houses and invested in their farms, so now they're much more respected and many people from the city try to buy some land in a rural area just to claim EU funds.

Before we joined the EU my uncle had a lot of cows, but the EU started to pay money to farmers for doing nothing, proportionally to the amount of land they own, my uncle has like 30 ha, he receives about 1000 euros from the EU funds and he actually closed down his cow business and he lives off the free money he gets. Pretty good deal.

>being paid not to farm from the government
>pay money to farmers for doing nothing
If there is a dream job I wanted all my life, this is it.

--->

If you hadn't vote for Putin, you would be in the EU and receive EU funds now. It's all your fault.

Actually it more depends on government and EU subsidies...

GIVE ME THE PORN YOU CUNT REEEEEEE

Well it's not like I was voting for him. In other circumstances our government could've paid money to farmers and do other fun stuff even without EU.

They're usually seen as uneducated but a lot of below 40 farmers have some sort of education

I used to work on my granddad's soy farm and it was alright. Wouldn't give up my current job to become a farmer though

>Well it's not like I was voting for him.

So, as a filthy muscovite, you wouldn't get any money for farmers anyway.

>In other circumstances our government could've paid money to farmers and do other fun stuff even without EU.

Russia is poor, so your govt would never manage to pay such money to your farmers.

Also, do you even have individual farmers in Russia? Weren't their farms collectivized in Soviet Russia?

Thank you shill

Farmers are usually viewed as a cringelord minority here that just want free government subsidies for doing fuck all work.

>$0.03 has been deposited into your account

Small farmers are experts in somehow surviving on a negative profit business.
Big farmers are assholes who do everything in their power to make life harder for the small farmers.

So, I could even move to Moscow oblast, Russia is big, you know.
It could've not been poor if our government ever cared about doing it. Technically all farms are individual here, but even sort of small non-corporate ones are usually opened and owned by rich people with decent starting capital since it's hard to start a farm, or it's just small village unprofessional farms that only sustain themselves.
Lately I've seen farmers shops here but everything there is expensive as fuck.

>It could've not been poor if our government ever cared about doing it

It could be said about all of Russia. Strana rabov - strana gospod.

>Lately I've seen farmers shops here but everything there is expensive as fuck.

b-but sanctions only make you stronger at least

They are seen as true Dutch people.

This is absolutely true.

Also big meat farmers = factory farms which tend to be abominations due to the atrocities unsupervised employees commit there. I've seen liveleak shit of stabbing, shooting, cutting and slicing of animals that are due to die anyways. Torture is sick.

Subsidised for their dying industry. I get that it is their livelihood but they have to accept it is no longer profitable.

>b-but sanctions only make you stronger at least
sure, the stronkest we ever were

Do they all have windmills?

So that's why you call the South-Africans Boers?

Yes

t. Dutch pro

Small farmers hack out a niche where all the city people want organically grown by gulag slave labour boutique products where they can feel good about themselves while huffing drugs in their Prius.
Big farmers are basically there to pump out as much product that the market can support at the lowest possible rate- because for every greens voter in a Prius, there's 9 other people out there that JUST NEED TO EAT for a cheap as possible price.

As soon as prices rise, those 9/10 people not eating boutique organic donkey penises have to cut their spending. 6/9 will cut out other products, 2/9 will eat less and cut their spending and 1/9 dont eat at all/eat much less than they should.
Anyone with a really basic understanding of economics knows this is extremely bad, anyone with a high school understanding of sociology knows that large scale riots are about 3 missed meals in a row.

Now, you might not like farmers, agriculture or the people and methods they use, but a nation with no food security is in really deep shit (see UK during WW2) and its stupid to rely on other countries, governments and big business for your most basic of needs- food.

Don't get me wrong, I fully understand how integral farmers are, they're basically the backbone of any country.
But I still don't like how hard the big farmers work to get rid of competition.

They find us racist, xenophobes, intolerant, rude and stupid.

Not good.
We call them peasants still.
Doesn't help that most of them are literally Indians.
Unless they're highly industrialized farmers from the north I guess.

Did you pick them up with your hands, Mister Dundee?

No I put them on a scrap of paper or they may nip me

To be honest, it really comes back to the consumer
Majority of people don't want to pay $9kg for a free range chicken, they want to pay $3.50kg and that means intensive farming. As a farmer I don't like intensive farming (even though I know how to do it), but it has its place- otherwise you get all kinds of hokey shit like state run farms that are inefficient bullshit o heavily government subsidised farming which is basically a waste of tax payers dollars and uncompetitive/inefficient.
So we kind of get stuck in the middle, you have to be competitive in business or we just end up subsidised, state-run and that's not a dependency I'm comfortable with, so I work as an engineer, have a sideline in feral animal destruction and my brother in law is basically a salesman/plumber and builder. In between all that we have the farm, sometimes it makes money, sometimes we break even and a lot of the time its in the negative.

I need to stop eating red meat again and just eat fish. Its probably good for me. Cow's and lambs are cute anyway where as fish are untrustworthy

Wtf I hate Poland even more now

Came here to say this

Well, welcome to the top 10% of the world where you've got the decadent luxury of making dietary choices based on some sense of 'morality'
Rest of the worlds full of hungry skellingtons that could only dream of that shit.

Most of the seafood is farm-grown now anyway here, our oceans took a beating around the ringhole that would make most leftists faggots look tight by comparison

Strong. Sexy. Innovative. Normie. Rich. Swagger. Leader of men. Handsome. Intelligent. Sophisticated. Emphatic. Funny. Easy to spend time with. Tech savvy. Polyglots. Large penises. Great at hockey. Lifting shows instantly. Well informed.

as "racist" uneducated rednecks voting for SD

Ironically they are viewed as lower class though they have more property than most middle class. They are avoided by most women.

I live in Tasmania. Its nice here

But if you're honestly right wing in Australia atm you're the one with someones fist up your arse. Honestly you're being cucked by memes, liberals are shit for every aspect of this country and its only because Labour is such a useless pack of wankers that they got in in the first place. But by all means "stick with the current mob" retarded fairy

>Polish """"""""""""""""""""""""farmers""""""""""""""""""""""""
poor retards with 100m x 1500m """"fields"""" not paying taxes and insurances, getting EU help for burning grass, with absolutely 0 knowledge about agriculture, using 40 years old falling apart machines, leaving in shitty old falling apart houses, smell of shit everywhere, pathology and alcoholism

I would like to be a gentleman farmer

we SPIT on them.

all farming is done by thai migrant workers who are being exploited by getting paid below minimum wage and no social benefits. israelis only function as "farm operators" which basically means slavemaster

Classic Israel

Farmers in Australia are, by an absolute mile, the most conservative element in our society. They are also the whitest element in our society, and the most religious.

Some city slicking left-wing faggots hate farmers because they don't like the fact that there are some people not dependent on the state for their existence, but most Australians love farmers and see them as true Aussies.

However, this love for farmer is exploited by far-left city slicking faggots, who implement policies they claim will help farmers but actually hurt them.

In most of Sweden: Not only are they hard-working, they are relatively wealthy too. It's a pretty profitable work (unless you're a dairy farmer for some reason). Many people aspires to become one, but few manages.

In Stockholm
>lol dumb farmers we r mach smarter. lol why da fuck dont you get real jubs??? (like gender equality manager or poitician) why da fuck r dey growing shit?? you can just buy it at the grocery murket!!! dumb idiots!

how bist thee goin o'er there t'yonder house

in general
>appreciate and respect the work they do and their skillset
>treat them like uneducated and uncultivated hillbillies when it comes to culture and politics

I would consider farming, because it's a more self sufficient lifestyle.

Its kind of nice to be able to grow what we need.
Leaves a bit more room in the family budget for the occasional wants.
Having our own means of production also allows us to not care so much what the normies are up to.

I'm central-ist in my political leanings, too much right and too much left equals the same place.
We have no love for the left though in the country, either Labor tells us we're inconsequential and doesn't care, the greens and peta will turn up on my doorstep telling me what to do become some cunt has an arts degree in womens studies and crutching ewes is inhumane. Liberals don't give a fuck but might leave us alone if we're lucky and the Nats sold us down the river in the mid 90s.

Most people will donate money to some drowing muslims in Indonesia (the ones that hate us) before they'll ever throw a bone to someone in their own country doing it hard because of drought or floods.
Yeah, I'm a bit jaded, but I'm also educated enough to know that when the left comes into power too hard, its the farmers that go to the gallows and land made part of the state- usually just after they kill all the intellectuals

idk man found this on Facebook but its pretty true

The small farmers need to give up, and the big farmers need to get fucked. Robotic farming and indoor farming are the future. I hope that someday the world population will be 100% urbanized.

I inherited a farm from my parents and can confirm this to be 100% true.

>I live in Tasmania. Its nice here
7005 here

anyway.
I think we either need all the farmers to quit which will teach everyone to respect the land more (no food + more unemployed = ????)
Or
We need to work towards becoming at least 80% self sufficient.
So no more watermelon farming in NT.

Good luck with that.
>1st world 100% urbanised
>but can't produce enough to feed itself

...

I hope insect farming becomes a thing.

Grows quickly.
Whole thing is eatable, no need to remove bones etc.
Turns whatever it feeds to protein a lot more efficiently compared to chicken or cattle.
The little shits don't turn loony in dark and cramped space like things with spine.

Cheap protein, only downside being that people currently think they are icky. Personally I don't think grasshoppers are particularly more disgusting than something like lobster.

Its possible m8, we certainly have the capability/technology to do it.
Its tradition and current economic structures that are holding us back more than anything.

You cunts need jesus

>Major Major’s father was a sober God-fearing man whose idea of a good joke was to lie about his age. He was a longlimbed farmer, a God-fearing, freedom-loving, law-abiding rugged individualist who held that federal aid to anyone but farmers was creeping socialism. He advocated thrift and hard work and disapproved of loose women who turned him down. His specialty was alfalfa, and he made a good thing out of not growing any. The government paid him well for every bushel of alfalfa he did not grow. The more alfalfa he did not grow, the more money the government gave him, and he spent every penny he didn’t earn on new land to increase the amount of alfalfa he did not produce. Major Major’s father worked without rest at not growing alfalfa. On long winter evenings he remained indoors and did not mend harness, and he sprang out of bed at the crack of noon every day just to make certain that the chores would not be done. He invested in land wisely and soon was not growing more alfalfa than any other man in the county. Neighbors sought him out for advice on all subjects, for he had made much money and was therefore wise. “As ye sow, so shall ye reap,” he counseled one and all, and everyone said, “Amen.”
Major Major’s father was an outspoken champion of economy in government, provided it did not interfere with the sacred duty of government to pay farmers as much as they could get for all the alfalfa they produced that no one else wanted or for not producing any alfalfa at all. He was a proud and independent man who was opposed to unemployment insurance and never hesitated to whine, whimper, wheedle and extort for as much as he could get from whomever he could.

I wish there were more books with the humor similar to Catch-22.

Do Korean women not like masculine guys? general question

>Indoor farming

Nigga do you know how expensive it is running lights like that?

No one's gonna buy a $20 head of lettuce

They live off subsidies and always complain about not getting enough subsidies.

farmers in my country are subsidy leeches, they are uneducated, poor, backward reactionaries
germany would be better off without them

Farmers get thoroughly fucked over here, it's nigh impossible to make a proper living off of it anymore because of the massive conglomerates gaining evermore of a monopoly on food.

It also doesn't help that they face huge demographic problems. They essentially have the same fertility rates as elsewhere (i.e. far below replacement level), but with absolutely no immigration (with good reason, since it's categorically impossible to start farming from scratch when even well established farmers are struggling greatly) AND significant emigration from the young people who want actual jobs and more excitement out of life. Basically, rural farming communities are completely and utterly fucked, and frankly it's quite a bit worrying to think that in the foreseeable future our food will be entirely monopolized, though I realize that it's the consumers' fault first and foremost.

I myself have a dream to someday own a farm where I would grow fruits and veggies and maybe a few other things like some chickens, goats, bees and maybe even a fish farm (though to my understanding those can be quite complicated to manage). Not to make significant money or anything, just to be able to live, in fact in this dream life I would only sell the minimum to be able to afford living, for the rest I'd just do subsistance farming, and preferably have a wife and kids. Obviously not a very realistic dream, but it is what it is.

it might get better in the future
I know many places where local farms set up partnerships with supermarkets and supply them directs so they can sell "organic local food" plus a lot more open markets around.

the big threat here in Ontario is not megafarms but housing development
they plow over the richest farmland in the Americas to build more shitty tinderboxes to shove pakis and white snobs into

That's why we must invest in fusion energy!
In the future we will have skyscraper greenhouses with solar collecting panels throughout the building and fusion energy to provide energy during off hours.
Or at least I can dream of that.

>Canada
>fruits
Cherries and berries you mean.

and peaches and apples and pears and plums
