Interesting article until the last half when the author changed it into a political piece.

When 90% of the people get their information about
farming and farmers from Facebook and people like
food sl#t and everything you hear about farmers is
negative it gets to you especially when you put in 18
or more hours a day just trying raise a crop that
might be worth something and maybe make enough
money to pay a few bills it gets depressing. Then
you hear well nobody trusts you because you are
trying to make money yet not one of those people
crying about how bad it is for a farmer to want make
a little money would work the job they have for free.

Long periods of time alone is a huge
factor. Everyone looking down on us, like
we're trying to kill them. Even the
disconnect in the small towns is getting
wider.

Have to laugh at some of the comments about
going organic, though.

If the article is fact-based, it's an eye opener.
