Farmers are fantastic!

Farmers are not always given the respect they deserve. 

Some people call us red neck, white trash, and blue collar. 

Whether this is used with negative overtones or said light-heartedly I hear red, white and blue. 
What is more American than a farmer? 

We know the land better than anyone! 

We can feed our whole family, town, state? 

Farmers are not just farmers, we are mechanics, veterinarians, welders.

Problem solvers, salesman, builders.

Farmers have invented amazing things out of necessity. We have given ourselves to America.

Do you know what else is fiercely American? 

Football! 

So whether you are a football fanatic or don't give a Flying Fig, I'm sure everyone is eating some delicious snacks today so take a moment and think about this,

Farmers don't get a day off. They work 365, sometimes 24\7.

Regardless of whether or holidays.

We can move the earth and feed a national!

We derive respect!

Okay so maybe your only thoughts today are about football and you don't care, but you really should and here's why.

Family farms everywhere are going out of business, the land is being sold subdivided and clear-cut.

We lose an acre of farmland an hour, according to the American Farmland Trust.

Please support your local family farms, save a way of life and an amazing breed of people.!

Remember everything you eat came from a farm.

It doesn't matter if it's a fresh vegetable from the store or it came out of a box. 
It all started at a farm.
the ginger ale I am drinking as I write this, someone grew and harvested the ginger, and the sugar to make it.

Having chips at you Superbowl party? 
Thank a potato or corn farmer!

It's not an overstatement to say your Superbowl party is sponsored by Farmers. Tomato, potato, corn, chicken, pepper, whatever you're eating today whether you're watching the game or just having a regular Sunday meal it all is because of farmers!

Whether we are a small farm that has a local veg stand or a ranch out west that has 25000 head of cattle. 
If we farmers were not here, you would starve and freeze.
farmers grow cotton and wool, the leather for your shoes comes from a cattle farm somewhere.

Goose down coat, or bedspread? Goose farm!

So sit back, enjoy the game, have a cold Budweiser (wheat and hops farmer) but keep in mind if it wasn't for us farmers, your super bowl party would not have a scrap of food, and that would suck.

So please, always remember everything we do, always remember to thank a farmer!
