@rfhirschfeld sorry all windbreaks had to be removed so the 48 row planters could turn.

Yes. Tree windbreaks are bare minimum. And I have my sights set firmly on the state here. Blaming Farmer Harold individually isn't super productive. Though it may be hard to keep trees alive next to ag fields drenched in pesticides.

@rfhirschfeld So odd they haven’t even put in windbreaks along the interstate. Farmers could absolutely do better. But also the state has a responsibility. Plants some effing trees and at least you could push that flying dirt up over the road .

I have traveled the world and seen more than most human beings. I have never seen anything that compares to what it looks and feels like in the Boundary Waters when dawn arrives.  You can stand on a portage trail and feel the weight of time in a way that is difficult to replicate. People have moved through this landscape for generations without fundamentally altering it. A single vote just stripped protections from the BWCA. Nothing’s been built yet. No drills, no blasting. But the assumption that this place was off-limits? Gone. The case for mining is real, we need it for the future we keep talking about. But the question isn’t whether we can extract. It’s whether we should do it here. Want to read more? Check the link in my bio for the full article

I hope you're taking screen shots of all of the pro-copper mining folks talking about MN's strict standards and all of the regulations we have and how good they are for next month, when they revert to cauterwauling about how unreasonable and terrible they are.

@TornadoNate can still buy flat screen TVs and flights to FLA with farm subsidies.

This great piece by the Wall Street Journal editorial board highlights why my recently passed resolution to undo Biden’s mining ban in the Superior National Forest matters not just for Minnesota, but for America’s economic and national security. wsj.com/opinion/minnes…

Two things can be true at once: we can develop our natural resources and protect the Boundary Waters. With modern technology and strong oversight, Minnesota can set the gold standard for clean, responsible mining while preserving what makes our state special. This is an important first step in securing energy independence. Any project in Minnesota will go through a thorough permitting process that meets the highest environmental standards in the country. We have an opportunity to lead in responsible mining and produce the critical minerals our economy and national security depend on, without relying on foreign nations.

BREAKING: A major victory for America and Minnesota’s 8th Congressional District was secured today. The Senate just passed my bill to reverse Biden’s illegal mining ban in the Superior National Forest – it’s now headed to the President’s desk! Mining is our past, our present, and our future – and the future looks bright!

America has the best labor and environmental standards in the world. We do it better here than ANYWHERE. I'm thankful that my resolution to end Biden's illegal mining ban in Minnesota passed the Senate and is on its way to President Trump's desk. Never again will a politically-motivated Democrat administration be able to wave away our way of life at the stroke of a pen. Learn more: stauber.house.gov/contact/newsle…

•The U.S. Senate may hold a floor vote TODAY which would overturn a 20-year moratorium on sulfide-ore copper mining on 225,000 acres of Superior National Forest land in the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) Wilderness in northern Minnesota. The Boundary Waters is the most visited Wilderness in the United States.  🛶 Enjoying the Minnesotan/Canadian wilderness by canoe or other lesser watercraft is one of our nations greatest available pastimes, and one I have personally enjoyed my entire life. We must protect these public lands from the rapacious capitalists threatening to turn them into a poisoned wasteland. •This vote in Congress would open the door to copper mining at the headwaters of this entire ecosystem. This kind of mining produces toxic pollution, including acid runoff and heavy metals, that can contaminate nearby waters. •The Boundary Waters supports a major outdoor economy that sustains thousands of jobs and generates over a billion dollars a year - built on clean water and intact public lands. But this vote would clear the way for toxic mining that puts all of that at risk. It would also set a dangerous precedent, making it easier to roll back protections for public lands across the country, including wilderness areas, national monuments, and national parks.  •This is a defining moment. If you care about clean water, public lands, and protecting places we can’t replace, now is the time to speak up. •Protect the Boundary Waters, and vote NO on House Joint Resolution 140. Let’s save this treasured place for all of us—forever. on.nrdc.org/4csRkwi

@zach_freimark hope you're digging into the 2,563 farm subsidy recipients that received $19,971,992 in federal welfare payments that live --not on the farm -- but in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Bloomington next! ewg.org/2025cityslicke…

This person is upset about nitrates in the water supply, yet promotes a diet high in meat and milk. Nitrates in the water supply primarily come from farmed animal manure and from growing crops to feed farmed animals. coagnutrients.colostate.edu/post-name/
Alex Clark@yoalexrapz

We do not want these AI data centers. They are dumping nitrates into the water supply and turbo cancers and infertility are ramping up in places where they’ve been built. You need to be getting heavily involved in your state on this issue.

Ecomodernists, radical environmentalists, fiscal conservatives, agrarian nationalists—even Matt Yglesias—all agree that ethanol & the RFS are terrible policy. It’s a price support program for a favored class propped up by Midwest politicians & The Farm Bureau/Corn Growers Assoc.

Yes, the Dust Bowl was notoriously caused by Greenpeace.
American Moment@americanmoment

Once, American environmentalism was the domain of farmers, hunters, and herdsmen. But something changed, says @ChrisBarnardDL. "In the 70s, it flipped to a political accessory. And so the people that were marching in the streets and super angry were not the people living on the land, but the young college students in elite institutions. And their ideas were completely removed from the real world."
