The Valuable Farmer

I just read an article saying,if more people in the state of Ga bought local produce,it would help the state's economy. Well, let me be the first to say, that I've been doing my part since I was 16 years old, and my parents have always supported farmers markets, and roadside sellers. There is nothing like the taste and texture of fresh fruits and veggies, and there is something about getting to know the person who grows your food too.

Here are my reasons why farmers are truly valuable to the economy:

1. He nourishes the soil(if he's organic)by putting more nutrients into the soil to feed the plants,but he also feeds Mother Earth.

2.He nourishes us(more energy),and by nourishing us,he's building a strong healthy community/workforce.

3. Teacher-most farmers I have met are very willing to share how to grow something,give tours of their farm and explain how everything works. Many don't sugarcoat farm life either.

4. Consumers- They must buy animal feed,sprinklers,trucks,containers and so much more to keep their business running too.

So, those are a few reasons why farmers are valuable to me,can you think of anymore reasons?

Now go out and buy some local produce! It's better for you and your local economy.

-peace-
