stupid fucking idiots....
if you have a family generational farm, best to remember what made it work back in the day and consider local crops because you ain't sellin shit outside the country for the next few years
I thought sending your children into the fields was what made those farms work?
Not if it's cotton...
Ah the good ol' days when farmers had 10+ kids.
Only 5 made it to adulthood due to diseases like measles, mumps, influenza, whooping cough etc. , poor and dangerous working conditions, and no healthcare. Of those 5 remaining, 1 of them died in childbirth, and 1 died in a random war and 3 went on to have kids of their own.
