City dwellers who "organically farm" three patio tomato plants have no idea what farmers in America's Foodbasket in the Midwest have to borrow, spend, risk and endure to plant, nurse, cultivate, and worry about to bring the crops to harvest with flooding from All the frozen Great Lakes still thawing in June; wind and hailstorms flattening corn, wheat and oats a week before they are ripe for harvesting; pestilence infestation, blight and dry rot, etc etc etc.
I'd like to see some of the "experts" feed this nation and the world, using cow manure only, while vegans and PETA and others "saving the planet" claim cattle f*rt gasses cause "global warming" (in one of the coldest years ever), and cattle farming should be banned too. It would be a tragic comedy, except that world hunger would increase exponentially and our kids would be dying of starvation like the masses in Haiti, Chad, etc.
