I am a Canadian Farmer
I am not Old MacDonald or a factory farmer,
And I don't wear coveralls and rubber boots all the time.
I use a computer, a tractor and a shovel on any given day.
And if they farm, I probably do know John and Liz and Wayne from Guelph,
And they are really nice people.
I have a kitchen table, not a boardroom table.
I am an active environmentalist.
I can proudly stamp my flag on food shipped around the world.
I believe in producing safe food.
And more of it on less land.
The best in the world.
If you ate today, thank me.

Thank you, Julie. I eat several times a day ... most of it local to me. That only serves, in my mind, to strengthen and prove your role in your community.
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie.
