I don't even think it should be a poor farm.

I'd like to see my entire community convert that huge dipshit golf course Iinto a giant farm where we all can choose to spend time, working together, producing food for one another.

Pretty much every community outside dense urban areas have retarded golf courses. Buy those up and convert thge into community farms. I am totally serious here.

You'd have to wait a generation for the chemicals in a golf course to disperse. Seriously, you don't want any part of that soil in your food.

I'm very much with you on community farming, tho. That's the future, coming soon.

I know of some golf course owners that would be jizzing their pants to get Keloed by the federal government right about now. Tough business nowadays.

Tax dollars at work.

BroGrump, can't be that much worse than what's in our grocery stores.......... you know that. Plus it would reduce fraud and purchase of little to no nutritional value.

I'm interested, need to learn more.
It could play out ok for a while, but cutting the benefit in half? Government negotiating for food? Plus the graft on top?

Could end up with some very hungry kids out there. I don't like it, tbh.

BroGrump let's start a campaign to get rid of Food Stamps and put in Community farms.

Trump would go for that.

The last thing a community needs in regard to its community farm is the fucking state.

The LAST thing.

But that's the point. Most golf courses are going under. The one down the street from me is not even used anymore. There would be a large upfront cost to buy all these places, but after that, I think it would pay off by building stronger communities and helping people to feed themselves instead of relying on subsidies.

You could set a farm up as some kind of trust, no? How hard would this be, really?

A farm would help to reduce all the SNAP fraud. Fucking SNAP EBT cards will get you whores and heroine in any city in America.

Who are you seeing as the purchaser? Or the trustee? I may be missing your take here.
