[QUOTE="Logan52, post: 1810568, member: 32879"] As to the point of how people from urban or city backgrounds can be more receptive to the agricultural story: My mom was born and raised on an isolated farm that had been in her family since the 1700s. She grew up in the Depression and times were tough, though they always had plenty to eat. She still associates life on the farm with hard scrabble lack of opportunity. It disappointed her when I borrowed money to buy a hill farm when I was still in college. This attitude is still common in my community. Visitors from out of state who come here think we have a little slice of heaven on earth. I visit my mom most every morning in town but she rarely ever comes to the farm. She wants my grandchildren to visit her at her big rambling old family home in town. [/QUOTE]
