"Excellent article !!!!!!!!!! The only problem is that this issue will NEVER see the light of day in all major urban centres of both the U.S. and Canada."
Why would a farm article make it to an urban center? To someone living comfortably in the city, it is irrelevant. To many, farming is dirty; farm sourced foods are dirty, etc. Urbanites buy their food from the sanitary grocery store, which they assume gets most of its food from clean factories. They cannot understand why a farmer wants more money for whatever it is they do--they want the farmers to quit whining and get a real job. It's a sad indication of society's health when they have no idea where food comes from.
There was a woman at the state fair a few years ago who ended up on tv. somehow on camera she was told or made the discovery that milk came from cows. she was UPSET! Sadly, I would say she probably represents the average American living in a city.
Furthermore, the dirty farmer has been driven into our heads for a long time. I remember being chastised in elementary school for being from a farm and getting disciplined for talking about "gross" things that are a real everyday occurence on the farm. I'm sure much older people would have similar experiences. It seems historically that farm kids succombed to the pressure and were made to feel ashamed of who they were.
good article though. the world's problems are many and complex. The problems of ag are more important than the attention they get.
