Farm Aid

It absolutely IS a national security issue!

So is government control of our healthcare system, but no one is listening.

It's about time they take it seriously

The government makes it tough for the people who are not on the " farm program". I am in a farm family.

I would love it if they would teach canning and gardening in school.

Over the past couple decades, we have seen private "clubs" step in where school funding has been lost, especially in some of the team sports considered marginal by the HS football crowd that is desperate to keep that sport in the tax-supported loop. Here in Kansas, it is usually the last extra-curricular activity to get cut, long after arts and ... See Moremusic and "lesser" sports have been abandoned in the cost squeeze..
Why not a garden club? While many of us agree it would be great to add gardening to the regular curriculum, it may take some private parental involvement to get it started.
And the more children we introduce to healthy gardening, the better the future looks for our world as a whole.

Just like the farmers in Iraq used to do, David, for millennium. Then Wolfowitz ordered them to destroy those ancient seed stocks and buy genetically modified Monsanto seed. No one could make this stuff up.

Co sign, John R Miller AND John Patterson. Read the labels, Scott. Much of that produce is either corporates or IMPORTED. Oh yeah, we just love it when the salad we're eating has been grown in sewage & chemical run off from a maquilladora. Ever taste the difference between a real tomato & a GM one? Or a bell pepper? They have no taste. They're just green. Or red. My own pet peeve is corn masa that smells like incense. W-T-F?

YOU do so much Willie!! I just want to say THANK YOU!!

With the economy struggling, wouldn't it be great if some of the unemployed with ag roots (or just ag aspirations) could transition to a new old fashioned lifestyle? Providing them with incentives to start small farms and grow produce and livestock for local markets seems like a viable answer to a difficult problem, especially in states where ... See Moreagriculture is still a primary concern. Come to think of it, there's hardly a state where it isn't still a viable option to returning to the rat race, if only the powers that be would make it easier, not harder.
