It really surprised me you shared that information; that would have been something I'd be terrified to share with readers. You admitted to your ignorance at the risk of being confronted. So in my opinion I think you've always shown the nitty gritty side of farming where pretty much everything you do has a consequence. It's one of the things that attracted me to your blog. However, what I also like is that though bad things happen there's a lot of positive spirit and spunk in what you write which evens out the negative side. You also tend to end with a positive note. It's quite refreshing!maddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10722879219094276636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8249314516667844062.post-81336579816643398202013-06-03T10:07:26.168-05:002013-06-03T10:07:26.168-05:00Thanks for writing about the not-so-pleasant side ...Thanks for writing about the not-so-pleasant side of farming. I am a farmer and I judge other farmers not on the amount of live animals they have, but on the amount of dead ones they've dealt with and the disasters they've been through. If they learn from the bad times and improve what they are doing then they get the "Good Farming" seal of approval from me. I don't think you really understand farming unless you've been through all of it -- the good, the bad, and the ugly. It's not idyllic. It just is what it is.Rosenoreply@blogger.com
