Newfound Optimism
John Lindamood
Tiptonville, Tenn.
So much for production. We still have the "political realities" to deal with. Here, there is also reason for optimism. As new issues arise, the need to educate and inform those making policy and laws affecting agriculture has never been greater. And we've seen an increase in the willingness of farmers and others in our industry to become engaged.
Whether through industry groups such as the National Cotton Council and the Farm Bureau or through our political parties, we are finding individuals taking the time to become informed on the many issues affecting agriculture. In turn, they are informing those making policy and law.
The challenges of farming are still with us and perhaps greater than ever. But so are the resources and opportunities to deal with those challenges. For me, it is an exciting time to be involved in agriculture. I think we have good reason to be optimistic about the future!
