I think everyone should spend time in an agricultural community. People need to see first hand the amount of time, effort and financial expense that goes into feeding America. Food does not just magically appear on the shelves at the grocery store…the American farmer is one of the poorest paid individuals in society…however if asked many of them will tell of the personal reward, not financial, that is gained when at the end of the season God has blessed them with a successful year…God bless the American farmer…by the way, no I am not a farmer!
I hope all the farmers found what they needed or wanted and had a good time! Thank all the farmers for everything they work so hard to produce for people! They are such an important part of our country and I doubt anyone ever says thank you…so THANK YOU!
I love seeing this…it is what rural America is all about! It is all the farmers who feed our nation and other nations. Thank every one of you for all the hard work you do so we can eat good food! Thank the Ruritans for their good work. I hope everyone there got something they wanted or needed and had a good time!
Woo hoo! Mr. Curtis is looking great. Thanks to the Ruritan Club for supporting our community!
