In the five years from 2007 to 2012, we only gained a little over 1,200 farmers. Since we aren’t going to stop eating, we have to reverse that trend, or we’ll see even more consolidation, more corporate farms, or increasing food imports; none of that is in our interest.
I think that citizens should be skeptical of government power. But I fear it’s bled over to cynicism. It is something that is getting in the way of reasoned discussion, and I’m very concerned about how to change that trend of cynicism.
It saddens me to see the reality-television shows that are getting so much fanfare that are a celebration of stupidity and the degradation of women. And those women are consistently wearing too short, too tight dresses. I hope the trend of aging gracefully returns.

I’m honored to be a part of it in many ways.
