Farm Commentary
Cultivating improvement
After 19 months of involvement
with newspapers, I still have a fierce
pride for my farming background. At
the same time, I have developed
considerable loyalty and respect for
journalists and journalism. I have
crossed the fence, as they say to find
out if the grass is greener on the
other side. What I’ve found is not
greener or better grass just a
different field of grass. And there’s
some weeds on this side too, by the
way. It ain’t all clover by any means.
One of my pet peeves has been the
attitudes some farmers have towards
others who may not be directly in
volved in agriculture. The problem
first surfaced while I was working as
farm editor for a daily paper which
presented agricultural news and
features regularly. The man who
showed his ignorance by saying
“there’s nothing worth reading in the
paper” may have been only one in a
thousand, but the remark sticks
anyway.
Criticism, whether deserved or

undeserved, is expected. What some
of us fail to realize, however, is that
there could be another approach to
making something more worthwhile
for ourselves.
A writer and-or editor of farm news
and features has, whether the farmer
knows it or not, the potential to be a
public-relations man or ambassador
for the farmer. Mr. Farmer can write
to Lancaster Farming and Hoard's
Dairyman all he wants, to complain
about his problems and what the
consumer doesn’t know but it
won’t help a bit, because consumers
don’t read these publications.
Farmers who want to present their
messages in town would do well by
cultivating honest and respectful
relations with reporters and editors
of urban-oriented publications. No
one else can do it for them. One
definite no-no for this sort of thing is
telling the reporter; “I never look at
your paper," while he’s typing up the
results of your community fair. I
overheard those words one day
which is why this commentary was
written.
