Subject: RE: Agriculture's image problem


It's not about going on vacations. It's the fact the general public thinks farmers, seed, chemical, and machinery companies are making lots of money in an industry which relies on government support. We're all in it to make money, provide for our families, and live a good life but once you lose support of the public you lose government support into the Ag sector. Maybe in Arkansas farmers are making money farming, but farmers up north lost money this year and 2016 is not looking too bright either. It's the industry we're in, always has it's ups and downs like anything else, but if farms start failing all over the country, farmers will ask for help and support and most likely not get it because of the image we made for ourselves.
