A snap shot of farming life
Blessed Are The Ones Blessed are the ones that work so hard and gets the least With sweat and toil they work the soil a life that has no ease Man and wife in farming life they work the whole day through Dreaming of prosperity The earth will be their tool And as you say you've got it made But not the way it seems Richness is found within the heart Their love and all their dreams The neighbors and your kin folk Will always come on strong when everything is against you and everything is wrong Harvest is at ending the season is all through We'll sit down and sing a song And drink an old home brew and talk about the things to do So just be glad for what you have When life is some times cruel Peace that lies within your heart You did the best you could do Darryl Ehlers 2366 Halverstiock Rd.

Yes, farmers often work hard and spend their capital only to lose their crop from the weather or disease. It's a hard life. I rue the day when all farming will be done by corporations.

Fortunately where I live, there are lots of family farms, but tohse farms are becoming a thing of the past as farming becomes more and more of a corporation run business, and that's sad.
