When people pick the harvest and don’t see the harsh work or drought, irrigation, pruning, praying for the winds not to knock off the blossoms, the birds, the floods, the heat and cold....the bills and fixing farm equipment, roofing the barn, buying a few new ladders,( on and on) then I wonder if they can ever truly appreciate the harvest? Do they know how hard it is to finance the trucking and selling of the produce and low prices?
Or do they expect every tree to render perfect fruit?
Farming and ranching is hard danged work. Everyone should experience it if just for a little while to remind them the blood sweat and tears of a good harvest should never be taken for granted...and that’s why I thank God for such things.
This is the kind of dope who probably thinks steaks are raised on sterile farms inside their own little styrofoam tray.
And that an ear of corn comes from “the store”.
Yup...we had a freak weather related situation this season...one variety of bosc pears just dropped to the ground one day...
