One of the last #PYO #StrawberryFarms in Southern #Maine is next door to the planned #Datacenter in #SanfordME -- #LavigneStrawberryFarm. Strawberry picking is a great family activity which involves being outdoors!

71K views · 1.9K reactions | This isn’t just a story about struggling farmers it’s about what happens when an entire way of life is slowly bled dry. While family farms collapse under rising costs and falling prices, the land doesn’t disappear… it changes hands. Quietly. Systematically. From generations of families to billionaires, hedge funds, and those positioned to profit from the fallout. Bankruptcies rise. Farms vanish. Communities hollow out. And at the same time, the people shaping policy and the ones with the capital are already waiting on the other side of the sale. This isn’t just decline. It’s consolidation. Watch the video and decide for yourself what’s really happening to American farmland. | Snarky Liberal

#FamilyFarms are some of the biggest benefactors from #GreenEnergy . In the USA, farmers can get paid thousands of dollars for each wind turbine on their land. This is a reliable source of income in an industry that gambles heavily on the weather and market prices.

Saw a piece about this on the local news...

#SmilingHillFarm (post from FB): "Because of the drought, we have been moving our cows around to different pastures… in search of green grass. We cannot recall the last time the cows grazed in the shadow of our Big Red Barn. The fields are just that dry… and not growing fast enough to sustain them. 😢 "

This month, Rothwell is submitting the last paperwork for a $100,000 #USDA #grant awarded under the #Biden admin for a disease study – money that’s part of a federal review of #climate-related #research. She’s not sure if the money will come through. Colleagues at other land-grant schools haven’t been paid, she said.
