Farmers, much like songwriters... face uncertainty and financial headwinds with every passing season. Life is a gamble and a challenge but it does not diminish my appreciation and sympathy for those who farm... and write... to feed the masses with sustenance for the body or the mind.

My family tree is deeply rooted in the furrowed fields of farming. Hope is always on the horizon but the risk is real.

Everett, my friend... the two are somewhat intertwined. Thanks for sharing. My best to your son and his family as they struggle with the elements of Mother Nature.
