You will find people like Richard all through the country ! Farm folks are usually eager to show others what they do . We need more interaction between farmers and non-farmers . People need to know more about their food and where it comes from .  Keith, southern Ontario, Canada

@Crippler1881 Keith, so glad you agree. I think it is a huge need. If you are into video you can just go to the rural McDonalds and find tons of farmers hanging out drinking coffee on the rainy days. That is how I met Richard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We can start a website called FarmersIntervieweddotcom!

Not only have I heard there are people like Richard - I've known him all my life. Being as old as dirt can help to know the ol timers. ...Art Simpson formerly from Hoopeston now in La Porte Indiana.
