The sad truth. Most people that produce the food for everyone else live in fear of not knowing whether there will be a “next year”. Crippling debt and the brink of extreme anxiety and depression is a reality for most of us. We do it out of passion, a passion that fewer and fewer people of the next generation have because they see what parents and grandparents have gone through for a piece of dirt or a herd of cows be it dairy or beef. When they can go to town and get a job for 5 times the pay, benefits, weekends off, paid holidays and vacation, it’s not a hard decision to leave the family farm and pursue other professions. Hats off to everyone that feeds the world.
