Ag Critics

Ag Critics

I can’t help wondering where the critics of farming, ranching and agriculture in general think their food comes from. I would love to be able to follow them around as they do their grocery shopping, slapping their hand every time they reach for a food item with a very audible A, A, A; that was grown by those you loathe. Since when did farming and ranching become something shameful? Shame on those agriculture critics who lump all farmers and ranchers into one big pot of mud for slinging. It’s not right and it’s not fair to the history of farming, but it does sell books and documentaries. Most of these critics seem to think that we should turn over food production and the modern farming system to communal farms. Do you suppose they bothered to do a survey on how many people would be ready and willing to work the additional hours above and beyond their regular day jobs that it would take to be able to create enough food to feed individual communities across a nation? Community gardens are truly wonderful, providing opportunities for social interaction, community development and nutritious food, but they will not and cannot feed an entire nation let alone the world.
