Is this in reply to my post about young farmers leaving a bad taste in my mouth?
I'm sorry. I really should not have posted that.
sin got the better of me.
I really don't mean any of it. I get so frustrated...
I'm really sorry. I just hope that they come begging to us for guidance some day. I'm not that old. I am 33 years old. but, I lived that life as the last one to see commercials for farm equipment on primetime tv in my area... saturday morning cartoons with commercials for ertl tractors...
I was the last. The whole notion of a national farming public died int eh 1980's. I just wish it would come back... but, right now, I just wish that the gov would step out of the ACRE program and let me plow the ground. It's so upsetting to me to see all that land going to waste.
I promise my children will not have that attitude. my children will be teased in school like I was for being a "farm boy" and they will be ridiculed. My children will know what it means to wake up at 6am on a saturday and work until 11pm. My children will know that what I give and what they give is life to all who needs to eat. My children won't be that way. They might use bigger tractors and better equipment and have better hybrids and better fertilizer, but, they won't stop being stewards of teh land.
I'm sick and disgusted right now. I guess because the movement that hit my area finally got national media attention. I just hope it doesn't change for the worse for me.
I've been very sick for day sjust thinking of how things will be.

I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
