Democrat 2020 presidential candidate Robert “Beto” O’Rourke proposed Friday in Iowa that the U.S. “allow” farmers to give up their “fair share” of crops to fight climate change.
O’Rourke stood aloft as he proclaimed his message at a rally in Marshalltown, Iowa Friday:
If we allow farmers to earn a profit in what they grow, if we allow them to contribute their fair share in combatting climate change by growing cover crops [a crop planted primarily to manage soil erosion, weeds, pests, etc.], allowing the technologies that invest in precision tilling and farming, capturing more of that carbon out of the air is another way in which they can make a profit.
Keep those farms together, pass them on to the next generation, and allow them to provide us our food and national security, our independence from the rest of the world, our ability to provide for the rest of the world.
Iowa’s caucus system is the earliest to pick a contender for respective political parties in the presidential primary election system. The caucuses are scheduled for Republicans and Democrats on February 3, 2020.
The day O’Rourke announced his bid for president, mid-March in Keokuk, Iowa, he called the Green New Deal the “final chance” with just 12 years left to “take incredibly bold action on [the Climate Change] crisis,” according to RealClearPolitics.
He told a crowd, “Not to be dramatic, but literally, the future of the world depends on us right now here where we are.”

What is with this “we allow” bullshit? This idiot is the male version of Ilhan and AOC. Bloody hell some people are stupid.
Hey, Beta,
How about getting rid of all the corn crops grown for the stupid, wasteful gasohol mandate? How about canceling all biofuels, as they do not work, are harmful to the environment, and waste time and money?
Why is your goal to decrease the food supply? Really? How stupid.
Just how stupid is O’Rourke anyway a typical liberal democrat back when Gore was running he told member of the FFA to find another line of work because if elected he was going to move all agriculture in America to 3rd World Nations Liberal Democrats are just too stupid to run for any office
What’s this ” If we allow… ” stuff ?
This country was found upon the principal that people shall
self – determine their own lives !
There’s a fatal flaw to this guy’s fundamental thinking
about individual rights.
Exactly. “we allow” are weasel words.
It appears everyone missed the between the lines meaning of “If we allow” I’m sure what he means is for the government to pay farmers for growing cover crops. We do not need another program of waists tax payer money to fight a non-problem!
You can be sure what a politician means? If so, you have superpowers.
Farmers who accept environmental grants are getting into bed with some serious sluts. It’s the start of a non-stop shakedown.
