Amen William! I love the "Lunatic Farmer." He is such an articulate speaker and wonderful writer. I am currently reading "Gaining Ground," with a forward by Salatin.

Also a fun, yet gruesome expose of big Ag, is Will Harris' book. I have gifted it to a few people and tell many of it. https://whiteoakpastures.com/pages/a-bold-return-to-giving-a-damn

I also gave this book to the leader of my book club: https://oll.libertyfund.org/titles/kurz-the-discourse-of-voluntary-servitude#. The version I gave him has a forward by Murry Rothbard. I did this because they are currently reading Timothy Snyder's "On Tyranny." I could not get through it. It read as if written by AI skimming from his YouTube videos. No foot notes. Seems to claim that all Tyranny would end of we could just throw Trump into Mordor. Arghh! Said I would have to sit this book club meeting out.

Gross, that last one. TDS is a pernicious mental illness. Otherwise Salatin is a national treasure. I hope he is informing our Ag Secretary, though she does not seem made of quite the same stuff. Glad to hear yoi are in a book club! I will look into that Will Harris book.
