I've been wanting to address this for a while now. How do we help our farmers? I live in the Midwest. Most, if not all farmers in my State are Masons. Most are 3 generations deep in it. In my County, 97% of them are wealthier than the rest of the County population that surrounds the fields that they farm. They spray the fields from the air by plane. Just exactly how can we help them? I'm all for helping a farmer to produce good clean food, but that's not the reality I see here.

Support comes in many forms!

You most likely buy their produce or products, seeds and bulbs, you make things with the products like bread or meals, some will help in the fields, some stores and grocery stores sell their products, inventors create new helpful machinery to help, businesses and schools purchase to feed others, and more! It is all a cycle.

Local farmers help our communities and country. think about the cycle of it all and who they help, feed, etc etc.

Don't just think big, think small farmers as well. Some just have a herd of cattle, or a strawberry farm. Buy buying local, you help support their growth and not foreigners.

Even just your support or even spreading by word of mouth a local farm that sells a tasty fruit or vegetable, flower or seed, can he helping!!!

I think she’s concerned about their spraying pesticides on the fields. Probably not good to eat it.

In that case, we can grow our own or find a farmer that produces crops differently! There is usually a smaller grower that doesn't use all the pesticides, maybe even start a grow of backyard growers and trade?
