#Farmer Tractor Rally

[master-john-uk]

[Oh dear... This will test my loyalties!]

On Monday 25th March 2024, dozens of tractors and farm vehicles are expected to meet in Central London as part of an ongoing series of protests by British farmers against cheap food imports, and to get fairer trade deals for UK farms. The event is being organised by Save British Farming, and Kent- based Farmers For Fairness.

To minimise disruption and inconvenience to London residents and businesses, the event is not scheduled to start until 6pm... but, there will no doubt be some traffic chaos as the tractors make their way into London during the afternoon.

[Perhaps I should exercise my ancient right as a Freeman of The City of London to drive sheep over London Bridge at the same time!]

My Dorset farm will not be represented at this event... We are hoping to get the last of our Spring crops drilled before Easter.

Love Tractor Eps 5 & 6 Stray Thoughts

Last week, Ye Chan taught Sun Yeol how to pick strawberries and then they held a class for kids. Sun Yeol is not good with kids and was super rude to a girl who already felt isolated from her peers. She ran away, but Sun Yeol found her and injured himself while trying to help her (even though he was the one who further alienated her). Ye Chan and the community rallied to take care of Sun Yeol while he was injured, and our poor farmer got his little heart broken when he learned that Sun Yeol maybe has a lover in Seoul.

Episode 5

Oh good. Ye Chan only had a partial blackout. I don’t like when characters don’t remember anything.

Still a fan of the village head. Recommending that Ye Chan back off of Sun Yeol if he’s taken is the right advice.

It’s actually very fun for Ye Chan to rush to Sun Yeol when he calls for help, because Sun Yeol asking for help seems like a big step for him.

Oh ho! A hot boy has arrived!

Alright, fuck Sun Yeol’s dad. He broke up two gay musicians and forced his son to give up music. You also slap your son in public like this?

I feel bad for Inseo. He found a creator he admired and grew close to him. The Koreans are determined to give me second lead syndrome.

Ope. Inseo moved on. What in The Red Violin (1998) is going on with this emotional whiplash this episode?

I love how obviously Ye Chan’s feelings emanate from him. I like seeing characters who never needed to learn to mask.

I don’t care for Inseo. Kindness costs so little. There’s no need to be rude.

This show is getting as bad as Thailand with the dramatic changes in lighting between scenes. It’s suddenly night time?

Even the doctor is mad about Inseo being here. He said, “Where’s big gay man who was taking care of you? This twink looks unreliable.”

That’s right, Ye Chan! Don’t let that mean twink convince Sun Yeol to go back to Seoul!

Episode 6

Ye Chan’s mom is so intense. She’s not the sit around and chat about our feelings type, I guess.

I like him telling Ye Chan to go inside and wait. I thrive on hope.

This breakup scene is pretty affective even with how little time we’ve spent with them. They both gave up things to be together and it just didn’t work.

Timeline is a bit hard to track, but it seems like they haven’t seen in each other in a while.

Big fan of the “sweat yourself into exhaustion so you can rest” approach. It’s the best part about volunteering for me.

Okay, Village Head, I see you and your veiled insinuations.

It’s a party!

It’s getting hot in here, so take off all your clothes!

Oh BL dream sequences, my belothed. At least this one was obvious.

Ye Chan is so helplessly gay. I love him.

Look at our brave farmer admitting his feelings even if he’s scared!

Okay, I will say I really liked the way Inseo was used this episode as a warm up for dealing with the dad stuff before the end of this. This show is actually pretty cute.

[genderqueer-hippie]

it's 10 pm and the people of a nearby neighborhood have decided it's drag racing time (based on the sounds). So. My ask is: opinions on drag racing, tractor pulls, and moster truck rallies? I suppose that's really 3 questions.

Drag racers get off my lawn! They're noisy but I'm so used to them it's almost like an extra redneck nature noise to accompany the crickets. I have never been to a tractor pull or a monster truck rally, but my grandpa loved tractor pulls. In his defense he was a beef farmer who also was really into the rodeo (and co-founded the local one in his hometown but I digress) ((oh extra sidenote that's the same one who had the motorcycle with sidecar)). Monster truck rally though... I don't think I have any adjacent anecdotes there. 🤔 But living in this here Midwest means there have been many nearby.

WTNV quick rundown - 159 - Cat Show

Read the rest here!

Be the annoying goose you want to see in the world. Welcome to Night Vale.

It's the annual NV Cat Show and Cecil has entered Khoshekh. Because of this, it is being held at the radio station since Khoshekh can't go anywhere.

The cat show involves the judges checking each cats tail for posture and form, checking it's teeth and then holding each paw to stretch out the cat into an X to measure the cat's latitudinal, longitudinal, and diagonal lengths.

Everything is going fine until they try to examine Khoshekh who greatly dislikes being handled and attacks the judges, knocking them out with the sedative oils he secretes from his tentacles. He then emits a high pitched sound only other cats can hear which the other cats return also becoming upset.

The judges wake up with the minds of felines and therefore start to act like cats and nobody is judged as the winner. All of the cats and the human-cats leave the station and roam feral and free in the streets - except Khoshekh. Cecil pets him with protective gloves on and gives him a catnip plushy.

Weather: “Fuzzy Disco” by Talkie

Khoshekh has a 'smooshy face' and is long-haired except around his caudal spine and pincers he can sting with where he is short-haired. He has multiple tails at least one of which is black and at least one of which has nacreous scales on it. He has white paws. He has 'the floofiest' tentacles which secrete a sedative oil (which turns your mind into that of a cat when it knocks you out apparently). He has five rows of teeth. He has multiple eyes.

Amber Akinyi and her husband Wilson Levy have a cat called Berthold. He is fist-sized, short-haired, orange and white, has eight legs, multiple shiny black eyes and can make a web.

Susan Willman has a cat which is MAYBE called Dumpster and is scraggy tabby with dirty teeth and a sunken posture.

Men from the National Transportation Safety Board arrive from Washington, DC. They are asking Sheriff Sam about the missing Delta flight 18713. They say it was flying from Detroit to Albany and was believed to have gone down in Lake Erie. However, before it disappeared for good it was detected in NV which should have been impossible. Sheriff Sam suggests that they talk to Doug Biondi who is currently imprisoned for being 'dangerous' in the NV Asylum. They suggest that the men pretend to be inmates to blend in and then they can ask Doug all they wish to before taking them away to the Asylum.

Friday night is the Tour of Lights in Old Town Night Vale. Starting at 7pm a tractor will drive people around to look at the festive holiday lights adorning various historic homes. Last year's favorite was the Victorian mansion owned by Harrison Kip which included a 40-foot tall Santa overseeing a vast army of toiling elves, while an old Victrola played "Ave Maria" over crackling speakers, and clowns leapt suddenly from the shrubs handing outs red and green balloons shaped like long-dead family members.

Saturday is the bi-monthly NV Pub Crawl in downtown NV. This involves, every 8 weeks or so, every bar being overun by 7 inch long bugs that look 'a bit' like earwigs but with human faces.

There is a Tamika Flynn Book Club and John Peters, you know, the farmer? is a member.

Cecil doesn't understand Uranus jokes because he pronounces it in a way where it doesn't sound your Your Anus.

Stay tuned next for a noise you cannot hear, rallying a feral insurrection. Good night, Night Vale. Good night.

Proverb: Wanna feel old? Don't worry. You will.

Purana Tractor: Embracing the Legacy of Agricultural Machinery

In the world of agriculture, the "Purana tractor" stands as a testament to durability and reliability. This term, meaning "old tractor" in Hindi, reflects a rich history and a deep connection with farmers who have relied on these machines for decades. The Purana tractor is not just a piece of equipment; it's a symbol of resilience and an integral part of many farming communities.

Tractors revolutionized agriculture by making tasks like plowing, planting, and harvesting more efficient. The Purana tractor, often a vintage model from brands like Mahindra, John Deere, or Massey Ferguson, represents the early days of this mechanization. These tractors, built to last, have served multiple generations of farmers, a true testament to their engineering excellence.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Purana tractors is their simplicity. Unlike modern tractors equipped with advanced technology and electronics, these older models are mechanical marvels. They can be repaired and maintained with basic tools, making them accessible to farmers in remote areas with limited resources. This ease of maintenance has contributed significantly to their longevity and continued use.

Farmers often have a deep sentimental attachment to their Purana tractors. These machines have witnessed countless seasons, toiled through challenging weather, and played a crucial role in every harvest. For many, the Purana tractor is a family heirloom, passed down from one generation to the next. It's not uncommon to find a farmer reminiscing about their grandfather's tractor, still running strong with a little care and attention.

The Purana tractor also embodies sustainability in agriculture. In an era where the throwaway culture dominates, these tractors highlight the value of repairing and reusing rather than discarding. By keeping these old machines operational, farmers reduce waste and promote a more sustainable approach to farming.

Moreover, the Purana tractor has an economic significance. New tractors are a substantial investment, often out of reach for small-scale farmers. The Purana tractor, with its lower cost and proven reliability, provides an affordable alternative. This allows farmers to allocate their resources more efficiently, investing in other areas of their farms to boost productivity and sustainability.

In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in vintage machinery, including Purana tractors. Enthusiasts and collectors appreciate the craftsmanship and history embedded in these machines. Tractor rallies and vintage machinery shows have become popular, celebrating the legacy of these agricultural workhorses.

In conclusion, the Purana tractor is more than just an old machine; it is a symbol of resilience, sustainability, and a connection to the past. These tractors, with their enduring reliability and simplicity, continue to play a vital role in agriculture, embodying a legacy that transcends generations. For many farmers, the Purana tractor is a cherished partner in their journey, a true emblem of the enduring spirit of agriculture.

British farmers staged mass tractor rally in front of parliament

Farmers marched to Britain’s parliament on more than 120 tractors on Monday to protest against post-Brexit rules.

Protesters were mobilised by the campaign groups Save British Farming and Fairness for Farmers of Kent. Farmers objected to cheap food imports and what they saw as unsupportive government policies that threaten the country’s food security. Liz Webster from Save British Farming stated:

“We are totally fed up with the government. This one is particularly bad, taking us for granted and really just leaving us to fend for ourselves, and our businesses are under stress. We have a trade bloc between us and our biggest market in Europe. But also, they ended up leaving Britain as an unfair, unlevel playing field, in that we have trade barriers.”

Webster argued that the lack of fair trading rules allowed lower quality goods to swamp the UK market, threatening domestically produced goods. She noted the supermarkets’ preference for cheaper imports over home-grown goods, which had led to the disregarding of contractual obligations and forced farmers out of business.

We want them to devise a food plan.

Farmers draw hard line, reject Centre’s offer to stay farm laws

Drawing the hard line to press for the repeal of the new agriculture laws, farmer unions Thursday rejected the Centre’s offer to keep the laws in abeyance for 18 months and form a joint committee to address grievances. The unions, scheduled to return to the talks table Friday, were virtually split down the middle at a meeting to discuss the Centre’s offer. Sources told The Indian Express that of…
