FAMILY FARMS
At sunrise on their family farm their day’s work has begun.
They feed the cow and milk her, and pat her little one.
They gather eggs from the chickens and fill their bowls with grain.
The happy sheep dog wags her tail, for she’s never worn a chain.
The eggs will go to the farmer’s market later in the day.
They’ll harvest all the garden fare that nature brought their way.
Their deep, rich soil with lush green growth will keep them working strong
with tending all their garden rows and farming all day long.
The market gives them rest and shade as buyers come along.
They greet the ones they see each week as friends they’ve known for long.
This give and take of buy and sell makes the farmers proud
that the healthy food they bring to the market draws a grateful crowd.
Dear family farms, you’re a national treasure, a tradition we must keep.
You grow the spirit of America strong, so we won’t be corralled like sheep.
Those corporate bullies try to break you down, yet you stand so strong and tall.
We must stand up for the family farms and save them, one and all.
The bigger story is the fact that Monsanto now requires gmo farmers to sign a waiver releasing Monsanto from any liability. So Monsanto has shifted the liability. This shift of liability is good news to a degree being that a Farmer should now think very seriously about using Monsanto gmo seeds. For the record, if an organic farmer’s crops get in ‘infected’ with gmo, that farmer is now forced to use Monsanto seeds. So much of how Monsanto is allowed to operate should be illegal.
@LordDyhalto the french if you read western history they are the first European nation who took down their monarchs, they are the first who had human rights etc… btw lady liberty herself was a gift from France.
In France, farmers who invest in Monstanto seeds have their fields burned by vigilante neighbours.
For all we make fun of them, the French have some progressive ideas.
