Today I watched a news program with Willie Nelson about Farm Aid. After listening to the program and the continued struggles of the American Farmer I was amazed. It seems that we continue to lose famer's and farmlands weekly. Willie sang a wonderful song about the situation and the one thing that stood out about the lyrics was the wording that shared that farmers were loosing their farms to banks. This of course will have an affect on our food supply as times passes. What would America do without our farmers and farms? Where would all the food and grain to feed cattle come from? How would this affect not only our food supply, but also the price of food at the grocery store.
As a child our family would visit Orange County occationally. There were tons of Orange groves and small farmlands. Now some 40 years later, there are no Orange groves and just a few small growers here and there. Over the years I have seen this happen to much of California.
Please pray for the Farmers Of America and our farmlands. Maybe what America needs is less bailout money for corporations that have gone bad and more money invested into our Farmers, farmlands and the heart of America.
