Give Thanks To The American Farmer

As we sit down to enjoy our Thanksgiving meals let's not forget the American Farmer for their role in growing and raising what we eat.

Nowhere else in the world is there such and abundance of fruits, vegetables, grains, and meats as there is in our country . . . We are truly blessed and should never forget how fortunate we are to have a viable agricultural environment.

To date there are about 2.2 million farms in the U.S.  About $547 billion is spent annually by American consumers for food grown on farms in the United States. (http://www.cals.ncsu.edu/CollegeRelations/AGRICU.htm)
