Rick, lest you forget, this is a list for market farmers, which means, for
the most part, we're SMALL farmers (small acreage, small output, small
sales, etc as compared to larger farms).   If some resentment towards larger
farms shows up, it isn't sour grapes, just frustration.  For whatever
Robert's views, he's pointed out issues that concern us SMALL farmers, as we
attempt to wedge ourselves into a piece of the market out there.

Please don't take umbrage with our attitudes for trying to figure how to
have a "decent quality of life" and be "successful", just like larger
farmers.
