🚨 Agriculture News Discussion
The New World Screwworm has now been confirmed in multiple cases in Texas and New Mexico, putting livestock producers across the country on alert. Officials are increasing monitoring, quarantines, and control efforts as concerns grow about potential impacts on cattle, sheep, goats, wildlife, and the broader livestock industry.
My question for Rural Exchange:
Do you believe the U.S. is doing enough to prevent a larger outbreak?
👇 Comment below:
✅ Yes, current efforts are enough
❌ No, more action is needed

10 paid off acres please! My financial mind goes straight to cash flow. Farmers face shrinking profit margins, increasingly unpredictable weather patterns, and high interest rates. Having the flexibility to pivot when necessary and operate in a space with reduced financial stress is priceless. It lends itself to self-sufficiency and freedom; that which I seek at this stage of my life. 10 paid-off acres suits my goals... and intensive, high-yield homestead business model.
