Editorial

The thoughts expressed in this editorial blog post are that of the author only.

What do you say to farmers when things look like this?


Even irrigated fields will be lucky to yield a fraction of an average harvest.

Lots of thoughts go through our minds, some even come out our mouths.
We question.  We wonder.
Where is the rain?
How long will the drought last?

And yet, day after day, the farmer pulls on his boots and works another day.


It's nothing short of amazing.

As a farmer, you may question a lot of things about the weather and wonder why you don't just work in town, but I hope you never question your purpose.  Your dedication, sense of responsibility, and single-minded focus are a testament to what it means to have faith and hope.

You may feel like giving up, but you never do.

You planted a seed in the spring and you will never give up on it.


For that, I simply say a heartfelt, "Thank You."
