It's the co-ops and levels above the Thai farmer who make most of the money off of farming in Thailand. I think farmers get ripped off in most countries I have friends in the UK who farm beef cattle. They told me how much they get for one cow then look at the price of steak on sale. They reckon supermarkets are the worse culprits and farmers are trying to avoid dealing with them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen: tractors ploughing, I have seen seed being thrown on the ploughed fields. I have seen weeds the height of elephant grass and I have seen tracked harvesters cutting, threshing and disgorging grains. Where is the hard work in that? Now, subsistence farming is another thing. But still machinery is involved. No one farms by hand any more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricTh Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 The rainy season this year isn't much. It used to pour for one hour last year. The rain must have gone to China flooding them instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtrnuno41 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 One should be grateful for food. Lots of people thinking, i have enough and it is just common to have food. They throw it away, just like that. Big companies getting better then the ..farmers. And that is global. In Asia they keep those farmers short and pay less, so you have to keep that rice coming otherwise you cant live. Why are there the girls in Pattaya and so on? You think they "love you long time"? No, too less money for living in normal way. With climate change maybe then no more food. Then people would appreciate the "old times " then when farmers grew the rice and you could eat? There are lots of countries, even so called civilized countries, people eat barely. Which is a crying shame. Big companies keeping prices high for themselves by holding back food or even destroy it. Wait until food is gone and you ll be wining again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanomazu Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Farmers are responsible for a tremendous amount of environmental destruction and pollution. Not just that you can't live in Chiang Mai from Feb to April because of farmers, it's the same all over the world, farmers cause great pollution and environmental destruction.
