As some of you may know, I am working on a book about farming for future, young, or wanna-be farmers.  I would like to pass on some “lessons” that will help the next generation.  Can any of you provide me with a lesson about farming that no one told you?  This could be technical in nature, but I am really seeking pieces of wisdom.  Something that will help this next generation, future farmer be better at his/her job.

I just wanted to let you all know how much I appreciate your signatures to the LeaveMyFoodAlone.org petition.  The petition has been a great success so far!  As of today (Wednesday April  8, 2009) we have just under 9000 signatures. Thank you!    Despite our current success, I really believe that we need to reach a goal of at least 10,000 for our legislatures to take us serious.   Please be sure to tell your friends about the petition.  –It’s easy, just send them an email telling them that you just signed it and asking them to check it out.  -Also, if you have a blog, post a link to the website.  You never know who will come along and share your opinion on the topic. 

Thanks again to all of you!
