The family farm. When cost of transportation raises produce prices in your grocery store where can you get healthy food at reasonable cost? Your farmers' market. <br />What gives your heart more of a boost than a barn?

Never darkened the shores of USA at all in fact. BUT that first picture (especially) could almost be England and though I have nothing to do with farming, I would hate for our country to stop looking like that (and remember, we haven't as much room for manoevre as you!).Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10015569343069499036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236583324720329.post-63148578275016001592010-09-09T23:42:25.651-05:002010-09-09T23:42:25.651-05:00Hi,

I enjoyed reading your post today, as I am a native Wisconsinite. My husband and I lived there for over 45 years. Northern Wisconsin is where our great great grandparents settled on a farm in Langlade county in the mid 1800's. It breaks my heart that so many farms had been 'snuffed' out by the big corporations. Don't worry, California farms will never hold a candle to the rich heritage Wisconsin has. Sorry California but Wisconsin dairy will always be the richest and our cows will always be happier, as you have said in your post. Nothing more beautiful than old Wisconsin barns. There are a few still standing, and we do have photos. California eat your heart out.<br /><br />Linda<br />'Got Milk?'Linda K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11053147037595239498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236583324720329.post-89231392767513060992010-09-09T23:22:18.304-05:002010-09-09T23:22:18.304-05:00"Beautiful Post"...
