Voices are continually heckling farmers, demanding they stop the abuse, the cruelty, the environmental changes, the crop production, the education.
Everyone wants to tell a farmer how to farm, until it’s time to actually to walk the walk. Then farming is too hard, not enough money to be made, 365 days a year, in every type of weather, insert one of many, MANY excuses.
The lack of education on animal husbandry and food production is astonishing. Don’t believe me? Just read through some comments on your favorite farm page!
1.3% of our US population are farmers, 10.5% are related to the agricultural and food sectors. That’s a huge weight on the shoulders of few. It’s been reported that by 2030 our current farmers will age out, with no one taking over their roles.
If you have truly genuine questions about a practice you see, ASK! I’ve said this over and over, I’m blue in the face. Most farmers love to share their knowledge and gush over what they produce.
Those who are complaining without actually taking any action to feed themselves, you’re literally biting the hands that feed you. And y’all look dumb….
Hard truth that most cannot swallow; it’s no one’s responsibility to feed you.
When one spends time belittling, degrading and slandering those who grow the food, soon when you make the trip to that trendy grocer, all you may be eating is your words……Get off your asses, put down your animal byproduct device and plant a damn garden!
To the ones locking arms, supporting and learning, we see you.
We appreciate you.
You keep us going💛
