Agriculture is LIFE!

It is time!

“Two dozen of the nation's largest and best-funded farm groups have formed a coalition to counter poor publicity that they say has led to some bad public policies and threatens farmers' ability to produce food for the world's population.”


At this day and age, publicity is common, celebrities splashed all over the news, magazines, and newspapers, everywhere! Most of the time when they are displayed it is not for a good reason…that is how some organizations are displaying Agriculture. Yet, Agriculture fuels the world! There is just over 2.1 million farms in the United States, imagine them all gone. Where would the world be? NO WHERE!

Slandering the producers that feed the world is disrespectful and should be against the law. Farmers don’t take a day off! Working hard till dust, till dawn! “Imagine being hung upside down, shocked into paralysis, having your throat cut, then drowned in hot water...while you’re conscious. That’s the stuff of nightmares, and it’s the tragic reality for billions of birds each year. These animals have virtually no protection from the worst slaughter abuses.”- (HSUH website). This is what those organizations are telling people, when actually half of the people writing this have never had the firsthand experience. How can you publish lies, slander, and now people are believing it?

“"Feeding the world requires us to kick up some dirt and create a few odors. That is just a reality of producing food and fiber that may not fit in with the utopian vision.” Joe Cornely. We all see things as right and wrong. The HSUS says that producing the world with food, clothing, by products needed for everyday life is wrong. How can it be wrong when they themselves are wearing cotton clothing, have make up on their face, drive cars to work and took a shower…it’s not wrong.

We need to STAND UP and SPEAK OUT, against these organizations! The HSUS may have money but WE have VOICES! We need to stop this negative image that they are giving agriculture…its time.
