[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1166580, member: 14661"] It's close to fair time here and I have a severe case of cognative dissonance. In the past I've ranted against teaching youngsters that haltered hamburger raised outside of industry norms and sold for three times what they can expect for a similar animal is a disservice to youth interested in raising livestock. I have the same feelings towards pork and lamb. Older, softer me with two young kids(not involved in 4h/ffa but real production agriculture as I was raised) is starting to think that maybe that positive money flow is enough to keep kids interested at least enough to vote farm friendly. I am on the fence. Most years I'll place a minimum bid so that no kid sells an animal for anything less than what the premium market price is for that animal but there are a few kids that I know of this year that deserve what the kids with connections are getting. How do you all handle this stuff? I've got conflicting parts of my brain sending me different signals so I'm open to great ideas about the best way to help kids. [/QUOTE]
