I think we are in a slump where appreciating agriculture is concerned. Really there isn't a much more important job to have, yet the "city folk" are all self-absorbed, conceptualizing it as "flyover states" and "stupid rednecks" and really just taking it all for granted. Most of us push paper/electrons trying to play the game and think we are special, you actually have a profession with actual meaning, people get fed, instead of getting distracted by the latest widget or stupid culture wars or whatever other people do to make themselves feel important.
I have a lot of respect for agriculture.
