SFJ was one of my earlier inspirations and I'm so impressed with what's taking place here on this site. Greg's (comment above) frustrations are real. Thankfully, I'm seeing far more support for small and micro farming than what was there only five or so years ago. So let's work towards continued growth. We are also now more "seen" and therefore have more status-quo opponents than before. So now more than ever, we need to stick together and make all our small farms collectively big. Keep up the good work, everyone. I think I met Lynn briefly in Missouri (?) a few years ago when I was speaking at an eco-gathering.

In Eastern Ontario (Canada) I am trying to stir up the intrest about your American program. I always quote Lynn Miller and others from his magazine. My boy came home from Alberta fresh from one of those huge feedlot and said that "he want to farm!" As we have small self sufficient farm and work out as well I told him it was important to not accure any debt. It's this understanding of farming today that has to change and I believe in your cause. I will be sending my money to your cause and hoping to get the word out here in Ontario. We are slowly changing our views but ohhh that root is deep to go big or go home philosophy. Puttinh loose hay in or farming with horses !?!?!!?!? Are you nuts !?!!?! Why I saw on my I-Pod the other day...........you know what I'm talking about. Sometimes going forward requires you to back-up and get your rig straight before you set out........I love what your saying and doing. If there is anything you need help with please let me know........ I am trying not to get too zealous when I send this comment but you are truly correct on what you have said.
