For me. Farming is a life of living and a way to live. u have to do =
something to get money and they will not let u print it so to make ends =
meet we sell our excess. It has been going on for 6000 years. I do it =
because it is a natural way to live. the letting the chickens out in =
the morning and putting them away at night and watering and the weeding =
etc. is a way of life that is 6000 years old. some find it work some =
find it natural. I remember the story in the Bible where man because of =
his wickedness was thrown out of the garden to toil and suffer . me I =
want to go back to the garden .back to where I once belonged. it is a =
life of living and that is what has been taken away from so many. they =
cannot afford to live the life and are forced out . So it is not just =
they loose their lively hood they have to give up but their way of =
life. I have a question for you. Why is it so hard and who is making it =
so hard. Life should not be so hard that u have to give it up. After =
6000 years why now is it so hard to be a farmer. that's the question. =
not why does one want to be a farmer but who is making it so hard to be =
a farmer? something is wrong and it is not farming.
