easy ways to make a living.
Today, we are beginning to
realize that we must leam
the lesson, and leam it
quickly. Further delay and
further disregard of
agricultural problems will
only add to the cost of the

people still like to farm, and
would rather do that than
take an easier way out, like
selling out to a developer,

“The family farm must,
necessarily and justly so, be
able to earn a return equal to
the cost of production plus a
reasonable profit - and
“reasonable” means return
on investment as well as
decent monetary gain based
on the number of hours
worked. And the return must
come from the marketplace,
and not from government.

the questions of how are we
going to convince our kids
that it is in their best interest
to carry on the family farm -
or the family small business.
After all, all the worrying we

world we are going to pass
