Who's your farmer???

What do you really think of when you hear the name “Farmer”? Do you think of someone who raises things like crops and animals? Do you think of the old couple wearing bibs and are covered in mud? What is the first thing that really comes to your mind?

What people do not realize is that farmers play a major part in our lives whether we eat meat or just vegetables. A farmer is a huge supplier of all types of food. First of all did you know that one typical farmer can feed over 3000 people? Well a typical farmer does. With the land that they use they help supply enough food for those people or for many animals.

A farmer is not seasonal like most people assume. There are so many things that they have to do while crops are growing or in between harvesting and planting. The ground needs worked, the equipment needs attention for any malfunctions that may have occurred. They need to be able to keep up with the new technology and products out in agriculture worlds and that takes time and research. There are plenty of things a farmer will do on the supposed “down time”.

These farmers invest their time and money to help support a growing world with crops to feed the people and animals and animals to help feed the people as well. I would love to hear your stories of a farmer you care about or has impacted some aspect of your life. Post a picture on my Facebook page or just write a comment! Have fun with it!! So here is the cheesy question…. “Who’s your farmer?”
