I've seen the horrors on tv of the large factory farms and the awful conditions that many of those animals have to endure. It makes my heart hurt. I also don't like ingesting all the hormones and pesticides.Meghan Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02474228923085830497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-53356368167429714742012-08-14T12:05:20.573-04:002012-08-14T12:05:20.573-04:00Yes, and with this horrific drought this year food...Yes, and with this horrific drought this year food prices will go up once again. My husband retires later this year and we hope to grow much of our own next year. Of course so many people living in cities are at the mercy of their local grocery stores. Sad but true. Makes us glad to be living where we have at least a little bit of land. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-22677830798329029872012-08-14T11:24:27.286-04:002012-08-14T11:24:27.286-04:00Hear!

Lovely photos .Here as well it has been tough for our farmers lots of crops were either lost or very small due to the drought we had for well over a month. A well written post here and lots of people forget about the farmer that lives for and by their crops ! Mother nature can be cruel or kind to farmers but it is also up to all of us to help support them by buying local ! I was raised on a hobby farm and we lived off our land and live stock never sold any of it and my father worked off of the farm but even then it was hard at times to work with mother nature !

I'm going to have to buy hay this year, which is something I never thought I'd be doing again. I'm filling the bulk bin this week, and I don't even want to know what that will cost, but the animals have to eat. Like you, I am lucky to have another income to support my farming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
