It’s worldwide, and it’s not good.
I learned a lot of valuable lessons spending summers on my Aunt and Uncle’s farm.
Life and death.
You won’t have a good harvest if you don’t put in the work.
You don’t get to choose where the rain or hail falls.
We are governed by people who know nothing but city life.
How much of the shrinkage in the number of farms is due to market conditions versus actions by federal governments under both Republicans and Democrats, even Reagan and Trump, that favored large agri businesses as opposed to family farms? The founders of this Republic, especially Thomas Jefferson, saw this country as being a mostly agricultural land, with the entire continent covered by small farms. They distrusted large cities and urban life.
even having a small garden, its a lot of work..every day....and it starts when you plant your first seed, to transplanting to a larger container, to putting it in the ground, nurturing it and fertilizing it and adding mulch and weeding and staking and finally the harvest which is a whole lot of work as well...
Remember Democrat Andrew Cuomo: you just dig a hole and put a seed in it
If there’s any farmer that votes Democrat after that.......
