FARMERS, OUR FRIENDS, OUR PROVIDERS, AND OUR FUTURE

Farming has been around for more than 10,000 years and was made to help others in need of food. Those with families could give nutrients and strength to themselves and the people around them.

The Farmers of today do their job and go highly unappreciated. People need to be more educated on what farmers actually do and they do not just drive their big green tractors to ride around in a bean field for fun. The farmers I know normally work from sunrise to sunset and the day is packed with anything from tractor work to working on the tractor, it is not an easy task to do all the things they do in a day. Farmers in today's society are our tomorrow, helping us with a wide variety of things from the things everybody knows about like having fresh food to keep us healthy to the morals that farmers can teach because of all the hard work they do.

They provide the food on our tables, the clothes on our backs and most importantly they are the ones who care for the lands and waters when nobody else would. The work ethic of a farmer is one like no other, most farmers I know also have animals and have to get up and do farm chores before they get to work, meaning they wake up super early, get to work in rain or shine, get home in the evening might do more chores or work on a personal project of some kind. Then they repeat that process every single day!

Farmers should be way more appreciated because not only do they provide for themselves but they give to others, in my eyes that makes them the most giving people around, helping everybody else, and putting in a long day's work to make sure families have food on their tables. Farmers make me less worried about the future, because they are reliable, responsible, helpful, and gladly, our future.
