Feel Good Not  Guilty

Feel Good Not Guilty

Contrary to what is often depicted in anti-agriculture activists’ advertisements and propaganda all farmers in the U.S. are not “greedy agri-business people”. Farmers are business people, that is true, and they like other business owners work to increase their product sales, but to portray them as money grubbing agriculture industrialists is unfair and untrue stereotyping. More often than not, non-farming persons accusing farmers and ranchers of bad farming practices have received their information from anti-ag groups that have their own political agenda and aren’t that interested in providing consumers with the facts. Here’s a fact - to farm in such a way that damages the soil or the environment is counterproductive for the farmer. Poor soil makes for poor yields. Farmers operating that way wouldn’t stay in business for very long. That said, there is always room for improvement in any industry, and farmers are well aware of that. The large majority of farmers work hard at being good stewards of the land and working within their communities to improve the environment. U.S. farmers should feel good about the fact that they are helping to meet the food needs of the world, not guilty.
