    Farming is a dying culture, not only are generations moving away from it but they are selling thier land to more home builders. God Bless farmers, you are what keeps this country running.

    Worked 2 seasons with a farmer who was my captain at my local fire station. Damn I miss the field work and getting down and dirty… best experience yet at just 20yo. I wish y’all the best luck and a fruitful new year!

    I'm so happy to see a comment section that actually appreciates farmers. I'm wayyyyy too tired of listening to people from cities say how useless farmers are. From a kid from a farming family, thank you and God bless
