If ever the US Department of Agriculture demonstrated its irrelevance, it’s the recent summit held at Drake University in Des Moines as an outreach to lesbian farmers, Here
Fact: Percentage of US citizens who farm – according to the USDA it’s less than 1% of the total US population.
Fact: Percent of farmers who are women – again according the USDA it’s 14% of the 1% above.
Fact: Percentage of US citizens who are lesbians – Gallop estimates total LBGT population at 3.8% –
So let’s round it to 2%.
Conclusion: So just how many lesbian farmers are there in this country and why is the USDA wasting its resources on running seminars for this minute population?
I think homosexual corn probably tastes just as good as straight corn.
Nevermind , that depends on how they “butter” it.
Scrub those vegetables!
Those people are nuts if they think farmers are “rich”. Most of the farmers I know have to shop at yard sales and thrift shops just to get by. But they are good, hard working people. And not all of them are white.
Never met a lesbian farmer. Doesn’t seem to fit with the farming lifestyle. Now, backyard farming is a whole different story. Plowing and harvesting 40 acres is a man’s job. Don’t think you’ll find many queers dedicating their life to that kind of work.
If I have offended anybody, please keep your perverse ideas about farming in California and don’t try to corrupt the rest of the country with your fantasies.
I dated twin sisters and they liked doing it. But not on the farm.
Fundamentally changing America, one crop at a time.
OK ladies, our first lesson in farming- Pollination is the process by which pollen is transferred to the female reproductive organs of a plant, thereby enabling fertilization to take place. Any questions?
Wow, Lesbian Farms. And all this time I thought they were born that way….
Who are these freaking nuts running this country!
I sure hope this doesn’t threaten Federal funding for

We had some of them lesbian chicken farmers down the road a piece. They didn’t have no roosters hangi’n around, so they tried to coax any fowl they could find, to pay those hen’s some visiting. Well must of got on the good side of some of the Owls we got hang’n round here. Some of those hen’s laid some eggs and when those eggs hatched they had themselves the weirdest lookin critters you ever seen. All of them males and makin the craziest sounds you ever heard, all night long. Granny says that’s what they get for not having any
roosters. Now they got themselves cocks that stay up all night.
Same as with homosexual adoptions. Not about the apparent practical result…raising kids or crops…but a political statement designed to help disintegrate what’s left of society.
I have to admit that farming isn’t one of my areas of expertise, but I’m having a heck of a time trying to figure out how the needs of lesbian farmers differ from the needs of other farmers.
Can I please be the fly on the wall in the room when this idiocy was cooked up. How would have been possible to keep from laughing out loud….oh wait, DC bureaucrats, got it. This is what happens when you have so many alphabet agencies, so many layers of bureaucracies, that you can’t even count them.
You could cut federal spending by 75% and eliminate most off this bullshit and I guarantee you no one would notice.
I might add that this is exactly why the GOPe, the CofC, K Street and REGressives have their hair on fire about Trump. He’s alluded to balancing the budget by growing the economy but I believe his business efficiency will not let 100s of billions in redundancy & waste go untouched.
I have heard it called many things but never “Down on the Farm”

From personal observation, I believe that most of the Lesbian farming experience involves the raising and showing of horses.
Lezzy Acres is the place for me, lezzy farming is the life for me, NOT! With apologies to the old and funny Green Acres TV show. Arnold Ziffle need not apply because muzzies don’t like pigs. Nor any of the other characters except for Ralph Monroe the handyman sister to Alf Monroe, who was just plain nuts and goofy. Isn’t Meredith Baxter one of the the 3 pretty sisters from Pettycoat Junction a lezzy? If so she could she could play one on a new stupid TV sitcom, we could call it Lezzycoat Junction
Hey sisters, the name drake comes from Norse meaning dragon or in English male duck. So isn’t it ironic that such a study about lesbian farmers comes from a University with a dragon or male duck meaning? Shouldn’t such a study come from a university with a hen theme? Henny Penny U or some such made up female gobbledegook.
Brings new meaning to the phrase. “Plowing the furrow”.
The trick to eating lesbian corn is, you gotta hold it by the ears.
😇
They’s all bawling ’bout you
Down on the farm
The cows bawl, the pigs bawl
The horses bawl, too
Miss you so much that crying’s
All we can do
Weeping and wailing, praying
You’ll come home soon
(L’il Feat)
Another stab at the normalization of perversion.
Force the taxpayers to subsidize that which they find anathema, thus making them participate in the support of sin.

@greetingsfromyonkers: I’m not sure about the needs of lesbian farmers, but I hear that lesbian moonshiners develop stronger liquors.

In my years of living I have noticed that most women tend to establish relationships with their thoughts or concepts being guided by love or wishing for it. Men on the other hand are socially, instinctively, and biologically driven by “sex”. Love develops later or more slowly. While is quite understandable and natural to see that gays tend to “love” each other sooner or later, it is the MEN who are driven by “sex” as a first priority and as an initial attractant to other men OR women. Gay MEN practice some very disgusting habits……….and that is what differentiates them from gay women. This is not an absolute either way……but is the most prevalent situation. Older gay men tend to become pedophiles much more readily partly because of the male aggressiveness. It’s just the way it is folks. Making your sexual deviancy into a political statement is also unseemly……..
Lesbian Farmers – – good name for a rock group.
Hey Billy….would their lead singer be name Country ‘StrapOn’ Montana?…
Hey vet, lesbian moonshine = strange likker.
Wow…I just realized what a nerd I am because out of 27 comments, I’m the only one who actually did the math. Total U.S. population approximately 320,000,000 X 1% (0.01) = 3,200,000 X 14% (0.14) = 448,000 X 2% (0.02) = 8,960.
So all this fuss and expense to placate fewer than 9,000 people. So tell me again why we can’t afford to care for those who have served this country with distinction and honor?
