We were watching RFDTV last night and there was a flick on about ranchers in Montana.
They said on there, that only 1.8% of americans are farmers. That is really sad.
I thought I would share that fact with the rest of the 1.8% of us on here :)
I'm proud to be part of that small population

I too am proud to be of that 1.8 percent. Just think of how many people we are feeding, clothing and employing. It makes me so proud to be a farmer and rancher each and every day.

A little rain can straighten a flower stem. A little love can change a life.
