who said I was angry. I am not concerned about roundup corn that is in essence marketed and promoted by a multi million dollar company that has enslaved the ones who choose to produce it. Don't blow a gasket-my example was that the rest of society is now dealing with issues the american farmer has struggled with for years, world wide competiton on an unlevel playing field, including labor cost, union issues, production factors,environmental concerns all to compete for the american dollar.(the most stable and sought after form of currency) The american consumer can care less where it comes from as long as it is CHEAP. Thank god that the american farmer is the most productive, effecient, streamlined producer there is. At 10% of our disposable income for food that has allowed the nation to concentrate and pursue more money and materialism. Greed is not an issue for me.The strength of our nation rests in the ability of farmers to keep the food stream going if you will. They have become a less than vocal minority of 1.8 % of the total population-poliotical fodder if you will. Democracy now votes in blocks and that is not a big enough block to have an impact. The politicians know that 100% of consumers buy food and only 1.8 % produce it. Import it is their mentality same is now going for all other sector jobs-steel, auto, textiles, etc. I will admit poor example but pure intent. Why will the american government not help out these poor nations-what other than the christian approach would be their benefit? No reources, oil, development, military positioning. The lsi goes on and on. Interseting to note that the american dairy farmer will suffer if bush gets his way. He wants to import more dairy products from australia to a country that is already awash in the products. Who cares the consumer no cheap is good. All because australia helped in the iraq war-by probably sending 8 troops

Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
