What you're opening up here is parallel to something I heard last week (and forgive me that I don't remember the exact figures as I joined the conversion upon hearing this): 100 years ago, something like 15% of the country's families were in agriculture. Today, it's less than 1.5%. I can get in touch with the gentlemen who had those figures and double-check them, but the point is that significantly less families are producing food than in decades past.RGThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00994311843099346653noreply@blogger.com
