Hustlin' Like Raindrops...... to make ends meet.

Here's another interesting NY Times article on the nature of the farming landscape today. It is mostly dealing with the growth of "small" farms, and how people have off- farm jobs to make ends meet. I think a lot of people already know or have a feeling this is true, but will it carry over into discussion of legit farms, and what it takes to make it? On a local level, if you are farming part-time or small it's still easy to get marginalized as being too small or inconsequential.

In my mind, there is still a lot of wonderful oppurtunity there. Check out this emerging young farmers movement. http://thegreenhorns.wordpress.com/
