Thankful for...9

I am thankful for farmers.  It is the American Farmer who ensures that we have food to eat everyday!  I thank the men and women that provide the safest, most affordable, nutritious, and abundant food supply of any nation in the world.


Today, on average, one U.S. farmer produces food and fiber for 155 people.  By producing the most abundant food supply in the world, the American farmer has enabled American consumers to spend approximately 10% of their yearly disposable income to purchase food.

Today, my hat goes off to you, American Farmer.  Thank you for everything you do and everything you produce.
