Cows are a blessing, not a burden. We are supposed to be stewards of the land and animals per God's instruction. If people would get off their dead backsides and do what they are supposed to do, they would not need a separate exercise plan.
The conversion of big ag industrial farming to small regenerative farming is going to be a long road, but not impossible. If Massie is appointed as the Secretary of Agriculture then that is a good start. You, Joel Salatin, Mark Shepard ( author of Restorative Agriculture ) would all be good advisors. The largest obstacle of course will be the commodity market behemoths, and that includes the meat industrial complex. While we are at it, there should be no foreign ownership of farms. This is America, this is our land, this should be considered part of national security. The swamp or blob, or deep,state is indeed larger murky and has many tenacious tentacles spread throughout industry and government agencies. This is going to be a decades long process, which of course be guided by those grounded in at the minimum moral principles. We too out in the gen pop must be part of that process just like all other parts of government. We must encourage as much reform as,possible on the local level. This is hard. I am filling in on our local Selectboard as an appointed person, and change is hard. My suggestions for reform in creative financing for basic things like enforcement of existing ordinances seem to fall on deaf ears because I cannot get people to even start thinking out of the box. I will continue on until my term runs out in March, and then turn to other methods post that. We now have a Republican representative, I aim to help and educate her. As a matter of fact all three reps for Caledonia County here in the NEK are now Republican. A victory though our local vote count for president was very close: 413 Trump, 417 Harris, some write-ins including stupid ones; I recal we may have had a few none of the above with no names given too.. So there is hope. But I would like to say that being part of the solution to not only promoting small local agriculture, but to all the other bureaucratic excesses that plague not only our state, municipalities is up to each one of as individuals. We cannot cede all the responsibility back to government on any level because to do so is Always dangerous as it just feeds centralized bureaucratic excess. This is like giving cancer glucose when it should be starved of glucose ( that of course is another subject and relates to the metabolic basis of cancer ).
Amen!! You write "being part of the solution to not only promoting small local agriculture, but to all the other bureaucratic excesses that plague not only our state, municipalities is up to each one of as individuals. " Yes!! You will like my next book, "Farm Hard or Starve" -- if we trust government to feed us we can bank on famine.....
The symposium was very informative. I enjoyed it thoroughly and highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in a locally oriented and more stable food supply.
After watching Mr. Klar’s presentations I was eager to purchase his book. I look forward to reading it in the near future.
I am excited for our future!

What a line up!
