Did you know, on average for every dollar spent on food - cereal, hamburger, fresh fruit or what ever, the farmer receives five cents? Out of this five cents they have to pay for their land (either purchasing or renting), equipment, seed/animals, fuel, ferilizers/herbacides, labor, insurance and their own living expenses.
Did you know America's farmers support 24 million jobs? Or that U.S. farmers supply 41.56% of the world's corn? How about that one acre of soybeans can create 82,368 crayons?
America's farmers produce many products for not only the U.S., but also the world. Take a look at the impact America's farmers have. (Americas Farmers - Some Food For Thought)
