EDITORIAL Farming is more than just a job, it's a way of life and a mission. It's an American tradition practiced by a select few who enjoy what they do and take their responsibility to help feed humanity seriously. Despite our country's rich agricultural history, many Americans have lost touch with farming, and many are unaware of the important role agriculture plays in our daily lives and the economy. That is why Dorchester Farm Bureau exists: to advocate for and speak out on behalf of our farmers. The organization’s vision statement reads, “Maryland Farm Bureau shall be recognized as the leading voice of Maryland agriculture and the predominant force in agriculture policy development. Maryland Farm Bureau will be regarded as the most credible source of information and the strongest advocate of safe, environmentally responsible and economically sound food and fiber production.” Because we're a grassroots organization, the members we serve determine our top priorities. From farms and fields to boardrooms, newsrooms, municipal halls, and legislative chambers, we work for agriculture in a variety of ways and settings. We think it's crucial to inform young people, decision-makers, and the general public about modern agriculture, rural communities, and the people who cultivate crops, keep livestock, and look after the land. Farmers, like the majority of you, are passionately concerned with the welfare of their families, their animals, and the environment. Family farms, as opposed to corporate farms, make up the majority of farms in Dorchester County. The families who run these farms must contend with numerous difficulties beyond their control, including extreme weather conditions, insects, disease, bureaucracies, and selling goods to volatile international markets In other words, the history of farming (and farmers) is considerably more complex and rich than it is typically represented. Because of this, we think it is our duty to convey the "true farming story," which is one of the main reasons Farm Bureau was founded. To learn more about agriculture and the people who practice it every day, we invite you to browse our website for videos, podcasts, blog articles, statistics, and other content. If you have a question or concern, we’re here for you. Together we will cultivate a solution. God Bless our Farmers, and God Bless our Nation.
