Can we?

I'm sharing this wonderful speech by "Lunatic Farmer" Joel Salatin because it's one of his best ever. 
The shifts he speaks of are not impossible, and in our years farming just in the past year there has been an explosion of awareness about our food systems, the increase in small organic/ sustainable farms, and the growing push nationwide to label GMOS. 

While he is a national farm super star, there are countless others behind the scenes farming in the same manner; growing soil. 

In these final harvest weeks in CNY I just want to give a shout out to many of our fellow farmers; and their customers, community and home gardeners,  who are making a huge difference one meal at at time.

Roll call: Grindstone Farm, Pulaski NY
              Gingerich Farm, Williamstown NY
              Schuler Heritage Farm, Hannibal NY
              Long Horn Ranch in Bernhards Bay NY
              Main Street Farms, Homer NY
              Monarch Farm, Scott NY
              Lucki 7 Livestock, Rodman NY
              Vrooman Family Farm, Pulaski NY
              Windy Ridge Farm, Clyde NY
              
... and so many countless more.

I'd like to quote here -
"Our goal is to encourage you to catch a vision for agricultural enterprises that are emotionally, economically and environmentally enhancing."- Joel Salatin

There are many disadvantages of education in rural areas. People have to face many problems about education facilities. The mostly people are illiterate by which students are affected and do not go to school.

What a class act! Joel Salatin is truly a man who has not put profits before people!
