I think we need to reverse that trend, and give the land back to small farmers, like the ones you are a part of.
We'd all eat, and sleep, better!

And I'm doing my part, buying grass-fed beef, chickens and eggs from a TX panhandle farmer (I don't buy his red wheat). Maybe it's the pessimist in me, but I just don't think small farm products/seeds will be safe from BIG CORP pressure and heinous tactics much longer. In other words, I think the safety of the global food supply is irrevocable contaminated and what isn't already transgenetically contaminated.......well it's just a matter of time before the winds are right or the bees make it to those fields and contaminate their crops, too.
