Agriculture is not crop production as popular belief holds - it's the production of food and fiber from the world's land and waters. Without agriculture it is not possible to have a city, stock market, banks, university, church or army. Agriculture is the foundation of civilization and any stable economy.

Allan Savory

As I noticed the last couple of days in remarks about a present market situation, there are a lot of people who seem to be of the opinion that farmers are freeloaders which should be ignored. After all, they themself buy their food at the supermarket and pay far too much for it.
