Every time you sell out Ag's public trust, it means more pressure is put on regulators to drop the hammer. Fear of GMO is propelled by a lack of trust in Ag, which is propelled by bigots in Ag who tarnish it's face. And you keep pushing this tech back for people who need it.
Why do #farmers in North America need to represent ag well? Because when we don't the public doesn't trust us, and they don't trust the technology. Africa could benefit from technologies they can't access because of public sentiment. Do better. #betteragtwitter

If you hate looters so much, why do you let the ones in your own industry persist? It doesn't make any sense.
Yea, the men of Ag often do that. #betteragtwitter

Also like the men of ag twitter told me once ‘let the men handle it’ -sometimes it nice if white people don’t make the BIPOC do all the emotional labor of educating us. Sometimes white people need to educate each other on how to be better. We should actively be having these convo

#betteragtwitter Agriculture, now is the time to STOP letting the worst of us to make this an unsafe space for #advocacy & #agvocacy We are only as strong as our weakest links, and it's time to remove them from the chain for the sake of Ag's public trust.

My angle is that consumers are not Ag's enemy. Ag is it's own worst enemy. Eating it's own tail, snake style. Food Marketers gaslight consumers into being afraid of the safest food system in history, to make a little more $. The big boys in ag sellout farmers all. the. time.

And the reason farmers and advocates have worked so hard to gain the little bit of trust they have is because the big boys in Ag pay lip service to responsibility, and tell farmers it's actually their job to fix the problem. AG put this on farmers shoulders.

Plenty of #AgTwitter brushing this kind of tweet off as being the ‘speech police’. The sad fact is that belittling the reasons people are protesting is steeped in racism and most in Ag would rather stay in a bubble instead of confronting the uncomfortable realities of our time

@pgigrain @MitchKonen31 Do you know how your boy @LyleBenjamin4 is representing you? He proudly displays his affiliation with you, along with this. What do you stand for? Who do you associate with? Unaffiliate, cause we're shining a light. #agtwitter #betteragtwitter #BLM

I know a nail in the coffin for me was the state cattlemen's group president who joked repeatedly about murdering transwomen in the group's monthly pub, then tried to pass it off as an attempt to rally the troops in the face of bad markets when he got pushback.

#betteragtwitter #shinealight Accountability is not doxxing. These guys don't deserve anonymity, but I get it. If you have the will to name the offending party, DO. If not, I understand why... This can be scary, but we've got the momentum now. #truthtopower
