Well I guess I have a different take on all of that. Being a farmer is not a major sacrifice. Nothing like serving your country can be. Being involved in farming has given me a much better standard of living than most have that are non farmers.
Also farmers get things that no other business gets. I know the government tries to control farming but we get benefits that not many other business get. Some times just something simple. If you farm you can free maps of your farm with lots of information on them. If you have some other business those maps of your business cost money to have someone do them. You can get "free" erosion control planning. Try that as a developer and see what it costs.
I am also very tired of hearing guys complain about how tough farming is. Try working a third shift job for thirty years that you hate, an then tell me how tough a job farming is????
The trite saying "Only farmers buy retail and sell whole sale" is also a self pitying and untrue statement too. Just about every business is that way.
I get tired of guys WHINING about how bad farming is. If it is so bad then why is just about everyone of us trying to be farmers on this forum??????
I am farming and I am blessed to be able to do so!!!!!!! I don't need or want any discounts or special recognition.
