Default Rising cost of living and food compromises

At only 2% of the population, you bet we farmers get bullied and pushed
around a lot. This is why I beg people to open their eyes: at this rate
small family farms could cease to exist in a few decades: and if that
happens, there will be no no choice but exhorbidant prices and/or bad
food. The other option is to grow some of your food. Ya know Omelet, if
you were my neighbor I would probably give you some of that wonderful
fresh lettuce I could not get to market to sell yesterday. Moral of the
story is: it would be really nice if people would start to sing that
old song en-mass "Where have all the Farmers gone?" It's a good
question for politicians.In the Meantime, localharvest.org has a really
good list of some of them. I would be the one that's Cedar Hill Farm in
Minnesota
