RESTATING FACTS ABOUT FARM PROBLEMS

WITH THE Farm Aid Concert over, maybe the facts need to be restated:

More farmers than ever are losing their profits and farms.

Our country supplies more food for the rest of the world than any other country.

If something is not changed to assist the farmers of this country, we will lose a generation of family-owned farms and their way of life.

Can we really afford to starve? Not all things come in cans.
