Market Farming

[<clearviewfarm AT bluefrog.com>]

Sorry Steve, but, I can't help but chime in here.  If all American farmers are "providing the cleanest, most nutritious and interesting, cheapest diet the world has ever seen.", then why are people buying Phil's eggs for $4/dozen and paying me $4-5/dozen?  I have a real problem with the largest (or one of the largest) egg producers in IA being called the cleanest; that is, the one who has such trouble providing a safe egg and for that matter, one that tastes anywhere near as good as one that is TRULY free-range, not just from hens that are "allowed access" to the outdoors (sorry USDA).  Call me political if you wish, but I claim that I am talking about what all of us "market farmers" should be talking about to our customers or at least striving to attain, that our products are the best out there, bar none.

Yeah, pardon me for getting a bit prickely when folk bring up low quality and "nasty" while the American Farmers are

 

providing the cleanest, most nutritious and interesting, cheapest diet the world has ever seen.

 

Organic or conventional, we all have enough to share, and needs to fill, that there should be no room for the "I hate Monsanto"

 

and the "I hate American Farmers" crowd.

 

That is all I will have to say on this subject here.
