Food on your table has always been a concern. Today, however, with the exploding world population made worse with ongoing drought, food will become a major source of concern for more and more families.

Oh, you mean, someone is truthful today.
As I said, I clicked on the links, I spent time and looked around.....reading what was in front of my eyes. I don't understand just what the point is.
No, I am not "grumpy".

Great thread, I have had concern for years. In my neck of the woods I think they have developed a whole lot of farm land.

RR if you click on the "LOCATE" tab you can find nearby farmers markets. Rest of it means nothing to me either.
