It always amazes me the amount of food farmers in this wonderful country of ours produce with such limited land resources!
Farmers must be and *are* stewards of the land, natural resources, and animals.
Farmers are the ultimate environmentalists.

October 18 - We belong to a local co-operative where our milk is shipped through that is farmer owned. Tonight was the member informational meeting.
Highlights:
> milk price doesn't look good for farmers
> 2017 has been difficult to predict what will happen in the dairy world - hoping positive #FingersAndToesCrossed
> our co-op has lost 10 farms in the last year
> our trucking company (& the *whole* country) needs more young truckers to haul products, produce, everything #TruckersAreImportant
> our lovely (sarcasm) state is trying to tax and regulate us out of farming
> this election could make or break agriculture as a whole ✔ #GetOutAndVote
There's still a large surplus of milk & dairy products - so Eat & Drink More Dairy everyone!
