So many people out there are completely removed from all forms of agriculture. So there lies the challenge for the producers. Last week at the Galion Public Library myself and three other producers from the Crawford County area were present to answer questions that the public might have about production agriculture.
There was a lot of good discussion that night. Some of the topics discussed were, where can I find locally grown products, what is the difference between naturally raised meat and commercially grown meat, and what real is the definition of organic?
When a producer see's these questions, they need to take a step back and think about the people we are catering too. Even people that are in rural America have no idea what is happening on our farms. My challenge to all farmers is to be open and willing to answer questions that the public might have. We can't stay secretive about what we are doing, we need to be open and tell our story.
Everybody loves corn
After I walked the corn field next to the barn, I thought it was fitting to give the steers a little snack.
