By now you may know that I read Organic Gardening magazine and often link their articles here on this blog.  And this article is a great reason why.  In my humble opinion, if you grow herbs on your kitchen counter or have 10,000 acres in California, or wherever and whatever size, then you are a farmer.

And those of you who are conventional farmers can't be upset 'cause farming and farmers are a short to last breed unless we change our thinking and practices.  If farming is going to survive, if American Farm Land is going to survive, then everyone needs to be a farmer.

You grow food?  You're a farmer.
Gotta couple of egg laying hens? You're a farmer.
Got goats that mow your lawn and then you make cheese (or a great curry)?  You're a farmer.
Keep bees?  You're a farmer.
Grow hops for beer? You're a farmer.
Have a strawberry patch?  You're a farmer.
Have a blackberry or raspberry thicket?  You're a farmer.

Now go grow it and buy your favorite tractor company gear and wear it proudly - as you farm!

Occupy Wall Street?  How about occupy farm land, or even better vacant land that needs to be farmed!!??
