Many of our entertainers understood they dynamics and how important they were to the people of America. Thanks to all the Farmers to grow food for us and try to keep us all well feed. I also want to give a big thanks to the small farmers who are local and provide us with the those wonderful road side fresh fruits and vegetables. It is wonderful to know they have never been stored in cold and lost all their vitamins and flavor. Thanks again Farmers! Thanks again! That’s why Farm Aid was so hot years ago.

Maybe our farmers could make a decent living…and maybe our gas prices would go down!!!" A hearty "Amen!" to that! “farmer’s friend said:

Not only do we have beautiful wheat fields but also corn, soy beans,cotton and vegetables. Last but not least, the great catfish. How lucky can we get?

At one time Escambia county produced three million pounds of catfish per year. Where was the community support for American grown food when cheap foreign fish flooded the market? If you think foreign oil is bad, wait until we are dependent on imported food.

We should treat them as such. Germany nearly starved Britain into submission in WWI and WWII because of the submarine warfare that kept alot of food from being delivered to that island nation. We in the US didn't have that problem b/c we were the bread-basket to the world, could grow our own food and we had a strong navy protecting shipping lanes. I'm glad farmers are doing better economically these, that leads to a stronger nation. I do think the Fed. government should subsidize more small farms. Farms are a strategic asset to a nation.

This is an important part of the economy here and helps feed a lot of people. Sometimes the weather in other parts of the country ruins crops and we help "fill in the gap" when it does.
