There have been some local, "meet the local farmer" tours near our other place, north of here both equine and dairy operations, and some of the politicians have visited long time existing, or recent start up farms, like vegetable, organic products etc. It's a tour, not an inspection or inquiry of means and methods practiced by any farmer, most people don't like hard work, sweltering barn temps, freezing temps in the winter, myself included, did I say hard work, yes the hard physical labor aspect, though there are more physically demanding jobs where it is non stop, the all around aspect of work and marginal profits, seem to be respected, I've never seen anyone come up with what you describe, as if they come to your place and critique what you do.

The intent is to get the community in touch with the local farms, it helps those who sell products on the farm, I know 2 places that provide excellent products at reasonable prices, things that are organic, healthy etc. I realize most modern farming and crop production depends on chemicals, but these small operations, that open their doors to the public provide things you can't get at a supermarket, giving you a peace of mind that if you support a local farmer, there are good benefits of doing so. These operations if started in the 70's would have failed, right across the street from me, a long time butcher invested his life savings into a modern butcher shop, nearby supermarket undercut him too much, today, these kinds of operations are much more equitable, some people lack education and experience, they need to become less ignorant, its good for ya LOL !
