While the rest of the world has only one harvest per year, Brazil has two large harvests and a third that we call “safrinha”.
May God bless us and keep our table always full.

Bully for Brazil. One can see the transformation in the once barren and destitute hinterlands of Rio Grande do Norte, where specialized agribusiness has transformed the lives of the population during the last decade. Having said that, the remarkable productivity Brasileiro speaks of is not unique or original. California's central valley and Imperial valley pioneered this sort of agriculture when, following the 1906 Colorado river flood, the river's waters were eventually controlled and harnessed with the Hoover dam and now allow the desert to bloom with irrigation from the Imperial canal. California (https://farmtogether.com/learn/blog/california-farmland-the-largest-food-producer-in-the-us) alone is a global top 10 producer (https://farmtogether.com/learn/blog/california-farmland-the-largest-food-producer-in-the-us) As the article correctly points out, there is a lot of room for growth in Brazil, what with the large areas under inefficient grazing pasture. God willing, Brazil will prosper in that regard.

Mar 09th, 2024 - 07:19 pm - Link - Report abuse +1Surprised to see your positive assessment of Brazil's agribusiness, responsible for a good part of Brazil's GDP.
You mention EMBRAPA, indeed o key factor in the development of agriculture.
Therefore I am interested in knowing what you think of two things :
1) Nine-fingers continual criticism of the agribusiness during 2023, and
2) The MST's hundreds of invasions and (many times) destruction of productive farms - crops, buildings, equipment etc - not to mention the destruction of an EMBRAPA research centre and model farms.

I can´t find any such instance, and you can't either. So your 'often referred to collectively´, appears to be decidedly lacking.
You stick with your Wikipedia. Why'll I'll rely on a grammarian.

You are driven by Fake News, like all idiots are.
If it doesn't fit the communist narrative, it is fake. (cement for brains).

Brasshole,
Typical response from a stupid lefty....but just what I expected.
You a.holes can't, or refuse to reply to simple questions that (if replied to honestly, would) destroy your leftist narratives..... keep on amusing us.
“are you going on about ? fingers and thumbs”

Clinker your enabler, lost out as he is held to his fraud 'fraud by omission', as the citation he was relying on. Specifically.nullifies any and all of his claims.
As “A man cannot be permitted to take advantage of his own wrong.”
F*ckwitt,
Mar 14th, 2024 - 05:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Regarding the finger issue, why are you LYING ?
I never tried to “normalize” anything......you are getting lost in your thoughts ....
Confucius said that ”men who get lost in their thoughts don't know that territory too well”
I simply told, you - as also did Pugol-H - that in respected dictionaries - for ex., the Concise Oxford Dictionary, Webster’s New Twentieth Century Dictionary etc - all the five appendages on one’s hand are considered fingers.....
Their slightly different anatomical structure doesn't change anything......
But please, if it makes you happy, keep on saying YOU have 4 fingers on each hand.....your problem.
F*ckwitt, before you used to just lie, now you also invent stuff....Tut, Tut, typical leftist approach to every discussion they lose.

A check of my O.O.D shows also shows as such, as a subentry. But, I have never heard an English speaker reference a thumb as a finger period.
But, it`s of no help to you, and your `original fraud by omission` claim.
So I get a `thumbs-up`, and you get a `thumbs-down`. As your fraud shows you were just guessing, and didn`t know.
So your stuck with the `finger`, and the bird.
”Thumb Anatomy
To understand why the thumb is not a finger, we first need to look at the anatomy of the hand. The human hand has five digits, each with three bones called phalanges. These bones are connected to the metacarpal bones in the palm of the hand. Four of the digits (index, middle, ring, and little) have three phalanges each, while the thumb has only two. Additionally, the thumb’s two phalanges are connected by a single joint, while the fingers all have two joints.
This unique structure gives the thumb a wide range of motion and makes it more dexterous than the fingers. The thumb can move up and down, side to side, and can even rotate, allowing us to grasp and manipulate objects in a way that the fingers cannot.“

He specifically said there are ten fingers which is absolutely incorrect
Your 'fraud by omission', as the citation you are relying on says, specifically.
”any of the long, thin parts of the hand that bend and hold things, esp. one other than the thumb”
So your çlinker behavior is revealed to all a sundry.
What the Clinker always does, is resort to fiction when his slimy ways, are revealed.
If you want to be a smartass, you have to be smart. Otherwise, you’re just an ass.
F*ckwitt,
Mar 15th, 2024 - 03:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Just pick up a good dictionary and read the definition of finger. Go on, it won't hurt....
Then stop embarrassing yourself.
The fact YOU may not have heard “an English speaker reference a thumb as a finger ”, doesn't mean much, totally irrelevant to the issue..
