“National Ag Week”

I could rattle off any number of statistics about people who farm; sprinkle in some anecdotal evidence to substantiate my claims. But I’m not going to.

Farmers are my people for at least three generations back. 

I don’t say or write things like “still farming” to be glib or combative.

I say and write them as a glimmer in what feels like a dark time in our agricultural history, a small voice saying, “I’m still here. I still love the land and what I do.”
