Although my family's heritage is farming, I grew up in corporate world with hardworking parents who became a CPA and teacher. It hasn't been until the last few years where my fiance' has reintroduced me to the gardening/farming world that I have come to hold these truths so close.
There's an incredible sense of pride in being able to use the land and its resources to provide for families, including your own. It is unfortunately a dwindling skill set that is imparitive to the well being of us ALL. We have lost the value of farming.
I can completely understand the suicide epidemic and appreciate you bringing it to light! Praying for our farmers and hoping for solutions.
