License tags are a state thing, there federal funds subsidizing our roads, who inspects meat so that it is legal to sell? I am wondering what farming practices make you a "Traditional Farmer"?   [Reply]  [No Email]

Not excepting Farm Welfare makes me a REAL Farmer not a Ward of the State.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I guess after thinking about it except for some newer machinery and some new technology, many things are similar to what they were when I grew up so I guess I am a traditional farmer also!   [Reply]  [No Email]
