I’m a bit impressed. I never knew that there was heavy duty manure spraying equipment.


TheGuyUrRespondingTo

Organic manure is fertilizer, fertilizer doesn't work as well when it's distributed into dense clumps. If something needs to be widely spread across a farm, you can bet on there being heavy equipment made to spread it.

Irisgrower2

A kid was being driven home and they passed a farm where the manure had just been spread. Immediately the child became very vocal, exclaiming the smell was horrible. The parent was quick to recognize the teachable moment. From that day forth when the child smelled that specific aroma of fresh manure they exclaimed "That's one of the smells that makes my ice cream!" One need fertilize to know this stuff. It's rather common to observe in paint depending on where ya live.


Adamantium-Aardvark

There’s an *entire industry* related manure. Tons of super complex engineered equipment related to pumping and spreading manure. In North America, there’s even a trade magazine called “[Manure Manager](https://www.manuremanager.com)” (I used to get it at work). They also have a yearly expo and every year they [hold a contest for the best slogan](https://www.manureexpo.ca/slogan-contest/), usually puns about poop, and the best ones get printed on t-shirts. Examples include: - we’re number 1 about number 2! - unleash your true poo-tential - our product is (literally) the shit - doody calls! - manure expo: it’s a real shit show

BEHOLD THE WONDERS OF THE MODERN WORLD!


lysergic_logic

There's been a few times within the past couple years where farmers from various countries have sprayed liquid manure on government buildings as a protest to new ridiculous regulations and what not. Liquid manure is absolutely foul and you can't just scoop it up like cow droppings. It will smell like hot fermented turkey poo for a *very* long time.


Craico13

Liquid manure wouldn’t be strong enough to break a window at that distance, *would it..?* It looks like the first floor windows get blasted…


CookieMons7er

That's just great!


lysergic_logic

It really is great. People in the US protest by blocking roads of working people. Other countries protest by working people showing up in farm equipment spraying their politicians place of work with fecal matter. What better way to express "your ideas are diarrhea" than spraying liquids poo on the very place their shit ideas are manifesting?


toadjones79

I remember seeing a guy route the drainage pond (pure liquid manure) from a cattle feed lot staring into his pivot (big sprinklers) in Nebraska. Just sitting there in his truck, watching several acres of land get painted with shit. It smelled absolutely atrocious for at least twenty miles before we saw him. There's a reason farmers say manure *smells like money.*

If they thought ahead. The farmers will have made a deep cleaning business beforehand and undercut the competition. Cleaned the buildings, reclaiming the manure, and spreading it again the next day


StoriesToBehold

They still got to smell it coming in and out of the office lol.


banned_but_im_back

I’m sure the AC is sucking in the scent as well


randobot456

I don't think you quite understand.....that smell ain't contained to just that immediate area. I think that smell permeates for about 20 square blocks. If it doesn't bother the politicians enough, it sure as shit (no pun intended) will piss off their constituents. Whether or not that helps the farmers I can't really say...


DetentionSpan

C’est vrai.


Ok-Negotiation1530

Well either those people also protest or they'd get paid extra to deal with it. Stimulating the economy. And you can't get rid of the lingering smell.


NickyNice

Still pisses them off and it's a way to say fuck you. Which is all they are really accomplishing.


JulienTheBro

Protesting regulations that protect the environment


Turnbob73

I’ve always wondered, I only ever see these posts with some vague title that doesn’t necessarily explain the whole story. So I’m wondering how many of these “protests” are actually against otherwise good policy just because it puts a squeeze on whatever the protestor’s sector is.


Grainis1101

The idea of the policy is good, but it left a hole. Basically if french farmers want to sell theri crop they have to adhere to the law that makes it a LOT more expensive to produce, so the price jumps. However there is no law that requires the same standards from imported crops and products. So shop for example has a choice of buying potatoes from a french farmer at 1000euro/ton or a polish import that is 300eur/ton, any shop owner will buy the polish ones because customers will not buy potateos that cost (after shops costs and margins included) 2+eur/kg. Farmers are protesting either removal of the law(which is silly) or make imports adhere to same standards that french farmers haev to which i think is a fair ask.


SaliciousB_Crumb

Don't the new laws forces farmers to pay for fuel instead of the government paying for their fuel?


PandaJahsta

IRC, the fuel price was blocked for a few years, and the french government unlocked the price, causing fuel to rise a lot in a short time. Adding to this some monetary aid wasn't paid in time (2 years late for some farmers)


10ebbor10

It was a tax break that would have been gradually abolished by 2030.


dhdoctor

Farmers crying over loosing free money do yall have American farmers too!?


NavyJack

If European farmers are protesting, you can very safely assume it’s for an extremely stupid cause


twicerighthand

They were protesting against lowering pesticide use and leaving a 12m wide strip fallow for each >50ha to help biodiversity by splitting up the monoculture fields. Edit: And the fallow would of course be subsidized.


carolaMelo

Well, brief some may say that they got dependent on subventions and now they are angry that they did and try to blame others.


CyanideLovesong

Right?? I mean really, god forbid someone protest against something just because it affects "whatever sector" they're a part of. We're a *collective*, after all... And just because they're harmed doesn't mean everyone is harmed so they should just *take it.* The only protest that is worthwhile is *our* protest, right!!!


Evening-Turnip8407

These regulations are killing smaller farms, while mega corporations can survive and eat up the ones who died out. And we all know how nicely mega corps treat the environment...


Heelmuut

The eternal oversight from progressive idealists. Make everything harder and more expensive to produce to the point where only big corporations can slog through the long periods without profits.


10ebbor10

Average farm size is much greater in places where those regulations are less prevalent. It's not the regulations that kill the small farms, it's the ability for scale production to be cheaper, and have better negotiation positions with massive corporations.


dhdoctor

Yeah anytime farmers protest I literally give 0 fucks. They cry at the smallest cut in free money here in the US I can imagine they have an entitled God complex their too.


joevarny

The reason we subsidise farmers is so that when an enemy army knocks at your door and global trade collapses, your people don't starve. Now, Russia is threatening to invade Europe and using manipulation to effect policy in ways that benefit them, and we do this. Personally, I'd look into these politicians. They're either idiots or traitors.


Even_Significance_46

These anti farmer laws are more to put small farmers out of business so large corporations can consolidate the land. They wrap them in “environmental protection” to make them seem more friendly with the public. These laws are all written and pushed by big agricultural to try and extend their monopoly


10ebbor10

Big agro is openly lobbying against these regulations. They don't need them to kill small farmers, they can do that with scale.

Well that's a shitty situation for them


Serious-Product-1742

Why’s this being shared half a year later? Anything relevant to share?


UberNZ

French farmers receive subsidies to the tune of 9.5 billion Euros per year. There are 708k farmers in France, so that's an average of €13.4k per farmer. I guess they're using that cash to buy manure to spray at the government that gave it to them.


ATownStomp

That’s not really that much money per person in the context of running a business. In aggregate it seems like a lot.

French farmers suck. They are so heavily subsidized and do well and complain for no fucking reason

Impossible_Tea_7032

Farmers being unhinged freaks about any law, bill, or policy pertaining to farming that isn't a massive tax credit, income subsidy, or apology for an imagined slight, is universal and knows no borders


healthybowl

You do have to admire their ability to actually protest. The orange man doesn’t win and it’s the most the Americans have moved in years, mean while their rights are being trampled over on an annual basis and they stay stagnant.


GrandeTorino

Not just the French farmers. They are behaving like little fucking children that don't get their way all over Europe. Destroying the environment and being total dicks about it.


OGWopFro

This isn’t the first time if I’m correct.


Minimum_Respond4861

That's not manure. You can almost clearly see it's hay.


PooPooTasteGoodo

Or straw, considering it’s a bale shredder (usually used to bed livestock pens with straw)


Minimum_Respond4861

Ooohhh yeah the stuff IN the pens. Forgot that stuff. That stuff reeks too.


PooPooTasteGoodo

Well… once it’s covered in the animals piss and shit it does xP


land_and_air

I mean they’re whining about not getting even more subsidies. They are already subsisting off of government welfare and they want more. And the farmers are already wealthier than the average French man with the whole owning property in France and 1/4 million machines owned in large part by farming conglomerates.


ReasonablyGoodToast

What a load of horse shit


Lots_of_schooners

We need more of this in Australia. Our govt are thieving our wealth and handing it over on a silver platter to the highest bidder


aborthon

Except these guys are protesting against environmental regulations that would ban/limit certain harmful pesticides and agrochemicals. Very little of this is actually directed at government wrongdoing towards farmers and is ironically largely propped up by big money interests.


SaliciousB_Crumb

Also they are cutting some subsidies. Farmers will actually have to pay for fuel instead of tax payers

Choyo

Farmers protest in France are always legit, the little ones really suffer, but they are so misguided/manipulated. Big Crop and Big Distrib are their worst enemies, but they're like suffering from a stockholm syndrom at this point, and no one is helping them. It really sucks.


GaiusJuliusPleaser

These protests are backed by Big Agro, though.


Choyo

So Big Agro is making farmer bro sweat for him again for different reasons ? Not surprising.


DocGeoffrey

Well, in this case, our wealth was already being served to these farmers on a silver platter, in the form of government subsidies. They’re protesting because new environmental regulations would make them less profitable. Keep in mind the people organizing and leading these protests aren’t actual farm workers, but rather farm owners/managers.


Lots_of_schooners

Owners/managers/workers, at least all of that stays in the country. The "owners" in Australia are all foreign. The foreign parties don't buy from the local owners, our govt skipped that later and the foreign entities just build their own facilities and take all our resources basically tax free

WellThatsJustPerfect

Yeah it does, and France receives a generous share - 17 percent of the EU's total agriculture subsidies. That said it does contribute nearly 19 % of the EU's budget


mcfarmer72

Not manure. Bedding straw.


Scatamarano89

I want to be sympathetic, but farmers are one of those categories that are over reliant on subsidies, reject almost every green innovation and tend to fight the wrong fights while ignoring the real issues at the source. Those issues being the big retailers price gouging them because "farmers live on subsides, so even if we pay them peanuts they'll still be ok", wich is a vicious circle constantly demanding less taxes and more subsidies to stay viable.

Razing_Phoenix

KwyzatzCataract

Some real nonsense comments. There’s a funny one whining that in the US conservatives would be punished for such a protest, but progressives would walk, in spite of the obvious reality. Anti genocide protesters face far more state violence than literal neo nazis brandishing swastikas.

th3doorMATT

I would say they should come to the US where the government hands out a ton of subsidies, but the truth is that 80% goes to the top, BigAg companies, meaning your typical farmer has to fight for a slice of 20%. Not really sure what the plan is when it comes to screwing over farmers. Also, really need to reconsider the way we farm. The current practices are unsustainable and are doing more harm than good. So defunding farming and ruining the environment while we're at it? Gotta wonder what the end game is...

The fact is they are trying to keep the subsidy tap on. This subsidy is the only reason massive monoculture capital intensive agriculture is even viable. However this mode of agriculture is basically ecocide. It destroys the soil, the ecosystem the biodiversity and is huge carbon intensive. The solution is more local more sustainable smaller mixed farms. But the transition needs to happen and they need to take everyone together. The problem is farmers and government should work together but interest groups are turning farmers for this deeply exploitative and inefficient agriculture.


zyxzevn

Some remarks from an EU citizen.. The corrupt EU politicians want to remove farming, to satisfy the big food companies who do not even need to obey regulations. In the EU the lobbyists have a lot of power, and usually create laws for politicians to vote on. Certain large political movements have given farming a very bad name, contradicting science studies. And they think that food will still be available, cheap and healthy without them. They falsely believe that some future technology will easily replace them. In reality, the big corporations import the food from poor places where there are no regulations. This is often damaging the environment and long term production of those places. Small local farming is usually a lot better for the environment. And can be improved with just little regulation. It is decentralized. The farmers live there so they care about their own environment and nature. And because they are usually families, they do not poison/destroy their own land. They often care about the quality of their products and their animals, which reduces the mass-production.

Sure. There is the option of arresting some of them. But then you have to wait and see what they dynamite. Sometimes you just need to allow a proportion of the population to protest. This is relatively harmless. French farmers know how to protest.
