As true today as ever...

When the banker says he's broke
And the merchant's up in smoke,
They forget that it's the farmer feeds them all.
It would put them to the test
If the farmer took a rest,
Then they'd know that it's the farmer feeds them all.


When was that written -- the 1890s?


Just read Mike Peroni's journal entries on the Boistfort Valley Farm website:

I'm glad those folks at the Eastside are doing what they're doing tonight and glad to have the opportunity to work with you all and add to the efforts of so many. I'm also psyched to raise as much $$$ as we can within a breathtakingly short timeline! What makes it easy is that so many people in this community are committed to helping their neighbors. It's nice to see in what have been some fairly dark times.
