LIVE POOR, DIE RICH

When the price of something as important as fuel, seed or feed goes up the first line of americans that feel it are those in the production side of the market. The largest community of Americans that are in production are those in Agriculture. It seems that farmers, whether they be in livestock or row cropping, are hit the hardest. It take a rare man ,or women, to become a farmer. The work ethic a man needs to become a farmer is to risk everything with the gain of little or the loss of it all. He must work all day and sometimes all night with no overtime pay. he might not even get more than one paycheck per year. It seems that farming has changed little over its history. the only things that have changed are the number of farmers and the technology used today. There is an old saying about the way a farmer or rancher lives. "LIVE POOR and DIE RICH"

I agree with your article.It's a shame that the farmer has to work the way he does and gets so lilttle reconition.Seems like everything is aganist him. Looks like there no room anymore for a honest man trying to make a honest living.
