Is Rice Next on the Climate Naughty List?
We’ve been raising warnings about the war on farmers and farmland for a while now. It’s happening, and it is alarming. But it is going further than many people even realize. In addition to regulating the crap out of the dairy and meat farm industry, now rice farmers are under...
