Anything worth doing is difficult. The problems that beset farmers are the
same problems in every living room. Change. Demand more, better. It does not
always cost more money. Read a book. Eat brown rice. As little as 60 years
ago there was truck farming in Michigan. Now it is five crops all for feed
for animals; oats, corn, wheat, soybeans and white beans. Every year all
things remain the same, plow, spray, plant, spray, harvest. Same people,
same equipment, same rut!
There is one heck of a lot of blame to go around. I doubt if there are too
many innocents. Perhaps it is time that the best gift for a friend is a
mirror.
