Make Hay While The Sun Is (Sorta) Shining

It’s an old saying but it checks out. If you need hay you make it when the weather cooperates whether you want to or not. In our case it wasn’t a great time because a) it is hot and humid as hell here and b) we have smoke from the Canadian wildfires making it harder to breathe. Being outside is like sitting in the smokiest spot around the campfire, but all day long.

This is Thursday and the picture doesn’t do it justice but that is looking over the neighbor’s field and you can see the haze in the air. It has been like this for days including Thursday when we put 4 wagon loads of hay into our barn. When you couple horrific air quality with temps in the low 90s and humidity making the heat index climb into triple digits, plus of course the dust that comes with hay, and you get a rough few hours.

Fortunately for us I was able to send a single text and 20 minutes later had a neighboring Amish family on site to toss bales.

Now we are set for the next year with hay for our dairy cow we milk daily, the calf we are raising to eat later and our two horses that just eat hay and poop. I was dreading doing the hay in this weather but it is nice to have the barn full and not need to worry about it for another 12 months.

It got me thinking. We aren’t “farmers” in any sense. Someone else owns the fields and baled the hay, we just put it away for use later, but even that gets to something very critical. Even though it is July and hotter ‘n hell, we know that winter is coming and we will need hay to feed the animals. So we suck it up and do the hard work, not just to put the hay away but also the work we put in to pay for the hay in the first place.

What we do is a tiny microcosm of the agricultural system.

Agriculture is the practice of cultivating crops, rearing livestock, and managing integrated systems involving trees, fisheries, and forestry to produce food, fiber, fuel, medicinal plants, and other products vital for human sustenance and economic activity. Emerging around 11,700 years ago at the end of the Pleistocene epoch, it represented a pivotal shift from nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyles to sedentary communities, enabling surplus production and the rise of complex societies in regions such as the Fertile Crescent, China, and Mesoamerica. This foundational innovation domesticated key species like wheat, rice, maize, and cattle, laying the groundwork for population expansion and urbanization.

Farming practices have become more efficient the further north you go and the Whiter the farmers became. Ancient civilizations like the Egyptians understood flooding and how that made the soil more fertile as well as rudimentary irrigation but it was Europeans and then North American White farmers who took these basic concepts to whole new levels.

In the U.S. we even created the “Land-grant university” system in the 19th century to establish colleges of agriculture in every state. My first year of college was at THE Ohio State University and it is the land-grant school in Ohio. Many students at OSU probably have no idea that in the northwest part of the campus there is a whole set of buildings dedicated to agricultural education:

I had to jump on a shuttle bus to get to my ag classes and lived in one of the two dedicated ag student dorms.

Anyway the point being that the modern agriculture that provides the food to feed a world of billions that will soon hit 10 billion hungry mouths only exists thanks to White innovation.

It also is another example of White creations that are in the long run going to end up being destructive of the very White civilizations that created them.

U.S. agriculture not only produces enough food to feed a growing and mostly obese American population, it also creates a 20% surplus annually that goes overseas. Like oil and other commodities, food is a global resource but our excess combined with that of other nations provides the food needed to feed third world nations in places like Africa and South Asia.

As I wrote in The Grim Global Future the world is quickly being overrun as charts like this one….

….and this one that Steve Sailer calls the World’s Most Important Graph show….

This wouldn’t be happening if it were not for agricultural and health innovations invented by Whites and thanks to these innovations the posterity of those innovators are being driven into enclaves in their own nations. To quote that post again:

The world is filling up with the stupidest people humanity has ever created.

Some of our greatest advantages, our intelligence and curiosity and the insatiable drive to solve problems, are going to in the end doom the White race and the rest of the world along with us.

Pretty grim thoughts driven by filling up one small barn with hay.

    “…our excess combined with that of other nations provides the food needed to feed third world nations in places like Africa and South Asia.”

    This quote reminds me of an article that I read decades ago in The Atlantic (of all sources). The Atlantic seems to have scrubbed the article (and all links to it) because it cannot be found. The title:

    “The Case for Allowing Starving Nations to Starve.”

    As I recall, the author(s) (?) put out the thought experiment positing, ‘What if the White West stopped providing free foodstuffs in bulk to the lazy, worthless hordes of “GGafricans” who eat it, only to regain the energy needed for reproduction, thus spiking the gg population once more–courtesy of stupid Wypepo who fail to make the necessary connections?”

    Allow Nature to do what Nature does so well (by allowing the lazy & worthless & stupid to fail to thrive), thus ameliorating the surplus population by attrition rather than by war [Michael Yon’s “Pandemic, Famine, War” trifecta].

    An Irish journalist, Kevin Myers, made a similar connection to the above by analyzing the population spike after mass feeding drives:

    https://africaunauthorised.com/kevin-myers/

    “Essentially, all that Western food aid has accomplished throughout Africa was to massively spike the population creating millions more hungry people with their hands out, while not incentivizing those peoples’ creative skills to learn how to feed themselves.”

    Not surprising! We’re talking about Blafricans, fer Chrissake!

    Given that Africans are the primary export product of Africa, the Wypepo concept of “Noblesse Oblige” was the single most disastrous concept to have ever been implemented.

    I have often thought that all of the “people” if Africa would have been better off if we didn’t feed them. remember all of those cash boxes in stores . saving a starving child in some 3rd world shithole ?. I think it started back in the late 1960’s or early 1970’s. anyway, after seeing what happens in Africa. they starve. get fed. fuck and make more kids, starve again.
    just what is the point again ?. why make more starving morons ?
    but then again, I feel they should be doing gun runs on all of the rubber boats coming out of Africa instead of letting them land anywhere. seems like a twofer, give the fly boys something to do and save your country from being overrun by them.
    anyway, if we didn’t feed them, they would not have the numbers they do now.
    and just look at all of the wonderful things they have done to Europe so far .

    Plot the output of natural gas derived fertilizer since industrial application of the Haber-Bosch process since 1920 and the growth in human population worldwide. The bulk of these fertilizers came from Germany, the Middle East and China. China no longer allows sales overseas. Hormuz is shut for now and very questionable going forward, and German production died with Nord Stream. Africa and south Asia are about to starve. Billions are going to die.

        I’ve known that FoxNews is “controlled opposition,” yet, even so, they keep diving deeper in their ability to repulse & disgust me, primarily in how they are the cheerleaders to this war on Iran.

        Trump’s behavior, his amorality, indifference to death and destruction, decimation of our own military ordnance, utter lack of concern that we destroyed 175 girls’ lives in the opening days, etc.

        I have no regard for muzzies–they show regularly that they’ve made their bed–but still, watching assholes like Jesse Watters providing the play-by-play is creepy as hell.

        It’s like the entire military & D.C establishment are playing a game–all with their parts to play.

        We need a full reset. Nothing else can restore morality to this horrible, disgustingly immoral nation.

    Rhodesia is the perfect example. There were basically no white men in Rhodesia until 1896. By the 1960’s, 200,000 white men and women (in a country the size of Montana) had turned what was just basically useless land into feeding all of Africa. by far the most productive land in Africa, building ditches, waterways, dams, power, roads, railroads. In less than 60 years.

    Of course the world destroyed Rhodesia for it and by 1980 it was gone. By the year 2000 (in less than 20 years) it’s mostly gone, Rhodesia (oh excuse me, Zimbabwe) can’t even feed itself anymore much less any of Africa, has the same decaying infrastructure that it had 45 years ago and the only reason it has any people is because of “aid”

    Africans only destroy

    Grim thoughts perhaps, but no less than true. Even when I was a little lib, I would watch those food aid appeals on tv featuring nogger kids with flies crawling over their faces, and I was disgusted. I scan Amren (where I was banned years ago) and read idiots commenting about their wonderful Dominican (half nogger/half mestizo) cleaners. I see comments about having White dentists, but one just hired a paki assistant – and the amren reader hasn’t immediately changed dentists, just tries to ‘avoid’ her. I see brain-dead Whites online mourning the loss of this mestizo kid, or thatt nogger child, and I just want to scream. Can’t they see what these will grow up to be? Can’t they understand that each one is chipping away at any chance their White grandchildren may ever have for a future?

    Just like the complex “agricultural system” that you printed a definition of, one could call this the “demography is destiny” system. It is even more immediate and finite. No, I don’t have ‘compassion’ for even one brown or black. No, I will not patronize even any non-White cashier (not that there are any where we now live). The only people I want to “help” are White people – heritage Americans who operate on shared moral values and trust. A vanishing population akin to the Amish you live amongst.

    If you don’t weigh every decision based on race, you cannot truly call yourself pro-White – you are just a poseur looking to whine online. I have no patience for any of that halfway crap. Apologists can go die with their magic pets; that’s all they deserve.

      Yes the conditioning of drawing white focus and capital to the most dark and distant was dually successful in both orientation the virtue of White out group preference and passivity of moral self-license of “pennies per day” as a sale of indulgence.

      For the price of a cup of coffee you could own a black kid, but you know, in a good way! And this let you take your bad feels off of the decay and suffering right next door and convert it to the virtue of proximate White sacrifice for distant black salvation. Later on you send your white daughters over there with the gospel to post pics on socials. Same same.

      The fact that it was institutionalized and financialized even better as current year now confirms that we are but an economy of self-interested transactions. Or so they want us to believe.

      That the fake social war is now on “empathy” is another psyop on our people, as if the problem in a culture that solves for and rewards loss empathy dark triad and psychopathic traits is too much empathy.

      When, in fact, they have convinced the opposition to our replacement to take up arms against one of the very things that separates us from these beasts. Fiat social status via virtue of out group preference is not empathy. We should know how this works by now having all of our other virtues inverted against our interests.

      Whether the money or food got to the hungry little nig is irrelevant. Most food aid is stacked in shanties and rots as local factions squabble over the currency of calories and access to gibs just as they do in the America ghetto. Scores of commie white girls with masters degrees in nonsense and their joo handlers scrape piles of make work cash and status off the charade while spending that aid capital on avocado toast and yoga in urban bughives which trickles up into political and social capital that funds more anti White institutionalized power.. For the white male version see the military industrial technology complex.

      One of the biggest lies that even smart right minded folks swallow is that it is virtuous to import the talented one tenth of these dusky backwaters because it is “good for our economy”. That ” we”somehow benefit by strip mining the only sliver of human capital from these places that could effect some change or stability in their own people while depositing literal garbage and piles of rice in our wake to pay the warlords to not attack chevron alcoa vitus minerals employees as they facilitate the extraction of the natural resources assuring that the next ten generations of nig kids own nothing.

      For the actual price of a cup of coffee per day, which is now up to $5 I guess, “we” could actually export knowledge and materials and resources and steward these animals but that’s colonization which is bad and stuff so we will destroy both sides of the equation with “equity” en masse so the gravestone of our people can read “was not racist”.

          Greetings friends…Long time reader, first comment.
          Why do some of you call “them” 2Gs?

          I don’t see what 2 Gs even means?
          I think something better would be to call them “Hard R”

          Nigger…hard r…

    That population graph line of dusky retarded savages will come down faster than it went up. And it will be our fault, again.

        • Stefan v.

          I still consider them humans, created equal, in the likeness of God…..and therefore subject to the same Law. That means they do not deserve the mercy rabid animals get. They play in human shirts on the field of the humans, then they get human rules. He who will not work, will not eat. He who sheds human blood without just cause, must be killed. Simple, righteous, just like God intended. No false compassion here, and no racial bigotry.

            They are soulless, semi-sentient, proto-humans. 99% of them have no inner voice, no life of the mind. They are creatures of mere appetite – noise, motion, food, sex. They need external stimulation because they have no internal thoughts. God may have created them, but he did not make them human. That they can – to the world’s great misfortune – procreate with humans is unaccountable, but an enormous sin.

        There is a classic piece of writing called “Let Africa Sink” by Kim DuToit. He is a native White South African now living in Texas. He describes Africa and its endemic problems to a T. As you and others here have said, the problem with Africa is that it is populated with (black) Africans.

    I never been to Africa but I can god damn guarantee you there ain’t any billboards that say you must eat the bugs and be happy.

    Solution to the Smoke – a Welding Fume Respirator, P-100 Rating, Silicon-Rubber Facemask, strapped on Tight. These are not the same as Chemical Respirators, very easy to breathe through. We had the same problem here in the Virginia Piedmont, for 2 Days, I wore that Respirator most of the Day, doing outside and in the Garage work. Could Not Smell the Smoke at all with it.

    Our Horses stood real still and stayed in the Shed by the Fans all Day, we washed them off with the cold Well Water twice. Would have been nice to have Respirators for them, too.
