From what little I know, farming was never an easy job- but these days it seems just about impossible for most folks.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06457953816169352495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-46149286584820364542011-06-08T23:26:58.460-04:002011-06-08T23:26:58.460-04:00We really love the flowers.

There is a drought. Peanuts managed to come up without irrigation but pumps are running night and day to try to make sure the corn crop survives. Temps reached triple digits last week. Diesel fuel is as expensive as gasoline and you know what that costs. You want to hear more?Jean Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000315400392984647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-65543590102386760382011-06-08T14:24:28.067-04:002011-06-08T14:24:28.067-04:00Kelly, I'm a woos for these kinds of videos to...Kelly, I'm a woos for these kinds of videos too. I feel like I can relate to these farmers on a human level...much more so than some of the folks I encounter in Boston's financial district (where I work).Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303344546714641616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-21528726426386098622011-06-08T14:15:22.895-04:002011-06-08T14:15:22.895-04:00I am such a woos, these things always make me tear...I am such a woos, these things always make me tear up. I know people need places to live, but the astonishing rate at which this country is losing small farms is devastating, and then the people that are wanting to change that don't have the capital to do so.<br /><br />I really think the convenience factor that the farmer touched on is so key in long term sustainability of eating local. Somehow it needs to be affordable and convenient or why would the masses chose to participate?Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06457953816169352495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-58290511701731398362011-06-08T14:03:22.090-04:002011-06-08T14:03:22.090-04:00Yay, I am off to watch this.
