National Farmers Day - October 12th

Well, ee-eye-ee-eye-oh!
God bless the farmers. Sometimes we just take people like this for granted, but without them, people would perish.

I grew up on my grandparents small farm. When I was 9, I was sent to live with my grandparents who owned a small farm with a few cows and steers. We raised the steers for people Gramps sold the meat to each year. We didn’t do the butchering. Big farm, small farm, it doesn’t matter. Each farmer makes a contribution to our dinner table.
 
I have the highest respect for all farmers .. especially after staying at my friend's sheep farm in Australia in
the early 20's. I was there at shearing time. The men were given 3 meals per day, for a few days running. I got to help muster up the sheep, and separate them for shearing. It's an experience I cherish.
 
There are so many "National Days" for this and for that. I gave up years ago trying to figure them out. Trying to figure some sort of National Day tends to give me a BIG headache. I don't like headaches so I don't try to figure them out. Good luck to you if you can. Maybe your a better person than I am?
