Reply to "Washington Politics Adding To Mental Health Crisis Among Farmers"

Farmers for Agriculture products need some smart marketers to promote & market their products being grown after some really good Ag Research Scientist look into finding other usages of products grown and or its by products. Marketing folks get excited when a breakthrough happens and a new idea wakes them up. Kinda like when corn was used in ethanol production rather than simply corn on the cob, frozen/can corn, corn meal. I think in Savannah, TN someone is utilizing Corn meal to make & sell "Hush Puppy's".  Need Many other new ways to create demand for the commodity. (old ideas still work, just boring)

I know from the above statement, I have over simplified. With each commodity usually an organization was formed (Pork, Cotton Producers Associations,etc.) to help its farmers promote & market its crops or other commodities. You've got some pretty sharp Research Scientist working to further the gene alteration of seed crops to withstand just about any kind of pest, weather condition or chemical known to man. I guess some would say that's a break through when your the farmer and battling insects, weather and weeds choking out your crops, causing you to loose your crop, causing you to loose the family farm. 

Not sure how you feel about it, but in Fall, I prefer an all Cotton Sweat Shirt vs the Cotton/Polyester blend sweat shirts. Can't find them anymore. You just can't beat the feel of 100% all Cotton, thick, sweat shirt.   Thumbs up for all our remaining farmers...
