A Rural American Farmer's "Stimulus Package"

Allot has been said lately regarding "stimulus" packages, how the government can pull us out of "the weeds", and people loosing their jobs.  While I am truly grateful for my off -farm job getting us through the winter and feel disheartened by the great number of jobs lost to American families, the stimulus package they are proposing to pass isn't enough to help the common family. It isn't near enough! We do not need another program to dole out money or benefits to hold us in bondage and debt. And I don't want it to be this way anymore! We need to help each other out of this res-session! This is our version of "stimulus from the ground up!"

We are working hard to drive our local economy through developing our CSA program, country store of Missouri products and bolster our fledgling farmers markets. This will help us build a solid, local foundation we need to succeed on a year round basis and try to become more sustainable.
