In the past 40 years the United States lost more than a million farmers and ranchers. Many of our farmers are aging. Today only nine percent of family farm income comes from farming and more and more of our farmers are looking elsewhere for their primary source of income.
A lot of us grow up and we grow out of the literal interpretation that we get when we're children but we bear the scars all our life. Whether they're scars of beauty or scars of ugliness it's pretty much in the eye of the beholder.
