    I think many young people in the urban cities need to venture out into this profession. A farmer's life is hard work, but also rewarding. Farmers give back to society in a very positive and rewarding way. Like he stated,' food is essential and brings people together'. Only four hundred black farmers in California, that is a very low count for a big state like California. God bless the farmers. Without them, we would not have fresh food at our tables! I do support local farmers!

    We have to empower ourselves and be best friends to ourselves. We have to make it profitable to serve our interests. That will make it impossible not to do so.

    I wonder if these people know of anyone who can help those of us who wanna be more self sustainable and self reliant by farming our own man raising our own animals for food just at the present Lana so high these days. And by help I just mean guidance on good locations to buy land for reasonable or inexpensive prices or even homesteads and farms that are already working but then again I do wonder what's considered reasonable
