Amen Brother!! I used to be an organinc farmer, and becuase of the rising cost of every dadburned thing, I had to sell my team of horses that I farmed with and get a tractor. Man I miss those horses. Couldn't afford the fuel for the tractors after a while, (with diesel at $4.50 a gallon) so I had to get rid of the organic ideas and go with fertilizer, then to spraying instead of cultivation, and no-till instead of traditional tillage, to get better yeilds from the ground. Even with that I still just scrape by. If people were wanting the farmers to be organic, then they would only buy organicly produced foods and wouldn't whine about having to pay for it. Inflation hurts everyone. If I have to pay more to produce the food on your table, then dammit, you're going to pay me more for that food!
I have farmed on both sides of the field, so to speak. Neither one is any walk in the park. Any business, be it farming or anything else comes down to trying to make a living. When you can no longer make a living, you need to find a way to do so. Plain and simple economics!
The bunny hugging tree kissers are making the farmers look like the bad guy, but have no problem whatsoever feeding their children cereal with more poisons in one bowl than my entire corn field has in it. Not to mention that they shop at walmart instead of the local ORGANIC farmers market, and they still gripe about the prices! It just makes me sick.

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
