What's up with this post?
Nobody cares about farmers, except for farmers.
Well, there's urban freaks who care about organic farmers, but those farmers grow shrunken, insect-pocked veggies that cost twice as much.
As it turns out, organic farming is a major force in the sudden rise in the cost of food.
