Many of the issues in the news that seem nonreligious are actually against my faith. As a Seventh Day Adventist, I believe that, "Agriculture is the ABC's of education". My church has books written by one of our founders about how children should be taught the value of farming, how it teaches the basics of life etc. I went thru high school at an Adventist laymen's school where half the school day was spent in agricultural learning, to put it mildly. This included very early morning milking and the whole farming life. I suppose that the school would be exempt from the law, as it is a religious school, yet, I assertively resist the governments attempt to reduce children's experience in real life farming. I personally feel that farming, especially gardening, actually does help us grow closer to God. I am aware that that probably sounds foolish to most, yet, that is my belief, and that is one of the reasons that I taught my children to raise animals and garden.
On a secular side, raising animals teaches children to be responsible for others. If my daughter neglects to provide the needed care for say the chickens, she is able to view the consequences, something besides her suffers because of her neglect. I believe this is seriously behind so much of the problems in the world today. Many are unable to view themselves as responsible for the care of others. How many parents that neglect their childrens needs to support their own partying and amusements, would have been more responsible had they grown up able to see the direct connection between their actions and the needs of others, if everytime they forgot to feed the chickens one died? Teenagers need to learn the lessons that farming teaches!

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
