Well leaving politics out of it and like it or not, here in America, we have a government that is doing their darndest to put an end to not only farming, but our way of life.
POINT 1: The EPA is trying to designate even dust kicked up by plowing as breathing hazard to anyone and everyone. What on a farm does not create dust?
POINT 2: SB S510 (Senate Bill 510) says that no one can even GIVE away produce to anyone outside of the family that grew it. They call it the "moderation of the food safety act".
POINT 3: The department of labor has made it illegal for anyone to work on a farm under the age of 16, therefore breeding farming out those that may want to pursue what generations before them did to provide for this and other nations.

How in the world can we down them for not showing the potential to be good stewards if we were not such good stewards ourselves? We cannot blame what is coming out of Washington on them. They did not allow it to happen, we did. We ARE to blame for the crops that we are reaping, we planted the seeds and farmed what we farmed.
Plenty of blame to go around, starting in my mirror for tolerating and tolerating and being on the verge of tolerating even more.

He farms around a hundred and fifty acres of arable land, in a village called Southam, located just outside Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
