Occupy San Fran Seizes UC Berkeley Farm (and There Are Wacky Pictures)

The UC Berkely approach to sustainable, organic farming is apparently not good enough for Occupy San Francisco.
A contingent of Bay Area Occupiers has essentially seized a communal farm — to turn it into a communal farm. This negation of property rights and common sense, it appears, “is what democracy looks like.”
(Photo: Zombie)
The blogger Zombie reports on the takeover that happened on Earth Day. The farm is called the “Gill Tract,” and Zombie explains the Occupiers’ misconception of it below:
The farm they seized was not a working farm per se, but rather a “research farm” for the University of California, near its Berkeley campus. The only difference between the way the farm used to be (prior to a week ago) and the way it is now is that the Occupiers have transformed what was essentially a well-maintained and important open-air laboratory into a disheveled and ultimately purposeless pretend-farm for trustafarian dropouts.

This seems to demolish the motivations of the Occupiers, who have previously tried to justify their agrarian Occupation by stating that:
“We are reclaiming this land to grow healthy food to meet the needs of local communities. We envision a future of food sovereignty, in which our East Bay communities make use of available land – occupying it where necessary – for sustainable agriculture to meet local needs.”
(photo credit: Zombie)
In response, Zombie points out that the University has distributed a press release with bullet points that poke plenty of holes in the premise of the Occupiers’ land seizure and rebuts all of their conspiracy-mongering (the Occupiers justified their land-grab in part by saying the tract was in danger of being turned into a grocery store, and said the land is being used to research corn genetics):
- The Gill Site is not going to be developed into a grocery store. That’s another site to the South. And that one hasn’t been farmed since World War II.
- According to Berkeley U, the Gill tract is “being used as an open-air laboratory by the students and faculty of our College of Natural Resources for agricultural research. Their work encompasses basic plant biology, alternative cropping systems, plant-insect interactions and tree pests and pathogens. These endeavors are part of the larger quest to provide a hungry planet with more abundant food, and will be impeded if the protest continues.”
- The Gill fields are categorically not growing genetically modified crops. We have an obligation to support their education and research, and an obligation to the American taxpayers who are funding these federally funded projects.
- The university has been actively participating in a collaborative, five-year long community engagement process about our proposed development project with hundreds of hours of meetings, hearings and dialogue. We have a great deal of respect for all those who have been involved and regret that “Occupy the Farm” appears to have little regard for the process or the people who have participated in it.
- We take issue with the protesters’ approach to property rights. By their logic they should be able to seize what they want if, in their minds, they have a better idea of how to use it.”
(Photo credit: Zombie)
The researchers have said they need access to the tract immediately to continue their work (it’s spring planting season, after all). And they’re voicing their displeasure.
“I know, from talking to a lot of people, that science means something scary, corporate and alienating, but that has nothing to do with what we do,” scientist Damon Lisch explained to the local Patch. “Our work is paid for by you through your tax dollars (mostly through the National Science Foundation and the USDA), and the results of our research are available to everyone. As long as these occupiers sit on our field, we can’t teach or make new discoveries, and that doesn’t seem right to me.”
Zombie explains: "Hypocrisy, thy name is Occupy. When society draws boundaries, builds fences, and makes rules, Occupy gets to violate them at will. But once they’ve seized control, Occupy immediately starts making new rules and new boundaries that everyone else is supposed to honor. Perhaps that’s the new Occupy motto: 'Rules for thee, but not for me.'”
“I’d like to suggest that a lot of the people involved in Occupy the Farm probably had no idea of how much harm they were doing to our research, or what our research even is,” he added.
The Occupiers have now responded by saying “The University administration’s position does NOT represent the position of the entire university community,“ and that ”there are 8 faculty members within the College of Natural Resources that are actively supporting the idea of turning the Gill Tract into an urban farm.”
All of this may be considered small potatoes, if you will, in comparison to to the expected protests and melees with police in cities across the country on May Day.
Nonetheless, when Occupiers have become too radical for even hyper-liberal Berkeley to defend, people sympathetic to the movement should start to really wonder what they mean by “the 99%.”

Posted on April 30, 2012 at 12:03pmJust because one lives in Berkeley, one is not automatically liberal-leaning (take Zombie, for instance).
At any rate, the Blaze is (as usual) leaving out huge chunks of information regarding the Gill Tract.
“The Gill Site is not going to be developed into a grocery store. That’s another site to the South. And that one hasn’t been farmed since World War II.”
Not true. The land was sold to a capital investment company, and the current proposal is develop the land. Just because it isn‘t happening this spring doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.
“The university has been actively participating in a collaborative, five-year long community engagement process about our proposed development project…”
Not true. The University has accepted “proposals” for what to do with the site (including a large movement by local residents to turn it into a community-farming operation), but has ignored virtually everything and gone on to do as it pleases. The University even openly admits that most area residents are only now finding out about the Gill Tract being sold thanks to the publicity around the protest.

Sit down to this dinner made by-hand
–produced by one person, consumed by one person (I have calculated this based on my own experience farming, becoming as self-sufficient as possible).
There is a reason people used to give thanks before eating.
– menu: Chicken Alfredo with Broccoli, Garlic Bread and a Glass of Wine.
Chicken –10 man hours
Noodles –6 man hours.
Alfredo sauce -10 man hours
Broccoli –5 man hours.
Wine –9 man hours.
Bread- 5 man hours
So for ONE organic-made-by-hand-meal you consume 45 man-hours worth of work.
For the same meal you can pay about $20 at Olive Garden and they will even throw in a salad. That is about $2.25 per man hour…… less if you include the waitress’ time, the managers’ salary and the contractor who built the building, maintenance costs, transportation costs, the time of the manufacturer of the materials, costs of regulatory compliance … but those evil profits!
Without gas-guzzling machinery and given the current minimum wage of $7.25 this same meal would cost $326.25. At the OWS proposed “living wage” of $20 per hour your meal at olive garden would cost $900!
But keep complaining OWS about how big oil is destroying the environment, how you aren’t getting your “fair share” and how bad you have it under capitalism.
