I don't think that folks have the opinion of farmers that you guys think they do. No they don't know the day to day grind and most folks lives are so structured around the clock by coporate America that they don't understand that a farmers life is controlled by weather and seasons not by the clock. You can take any job and from the outside looking in it is a lot easier than from inside looking out. I've done a slew of things in my life and from construction worker,hiredhand on a dairy operation to civil servant, to riding the back of a garbage truck and without exception there has always been someone who said how I "had it made". (well maybe not the garbage job) I think that the problem between the farming and consumer is nothing but perception of each other. When someone buys a gallon of milk for $2.89 why should they be expected to know that you only made .03 on that gallon. Do you know the breakdown that each entity made on the last gallon of diesal you ran thru your tractor? The only thing that I know for sure is that the closer you work to the source in any commidity the less you make. Thats why they call all post production processing "value added service" You guys are generally appreciated as much as any other profeesion is.
