Market Farming

[robert schuler <sunnfarm AT bellatlantic.net>]

I have been farming full time for thirty years, when I started at 19 I
paid something like $200 a year for health insurance. Today at 50 Im
about to pay $5300 a year. I never made a claim and often wonder how
rich I would be if I never had the insurance in the first place. Then I
think of the cost of one major illness putting me in the poor house. Its
not a plesant thought.
Whenever I get a customer who complains that my produce is too
expensive, I just think of that $1350 quarterly payment I have to make
and say to the customer "tough"...Bob
