The fields are ripe with wheat, corn, soybeans and sunflowers. Giant harvesters are working side by side bringing in the bounty of America. Fruit and nut trees of all types are heavy with their summer labors.
I have visited third world countries where the people scratch the earth and depend on our bounty to feed their families. We are so rich in land, equipment, soil, sun and rain. Our farmers benefit from the best education and research systems in the world. Our infrastructure of road and rails ships the products quickly all over the country bringing fresh produce to the cities.
Our food is safe and grown to nourish this generation and generations to come. Our family farmers cherish the land and their animals and treat both kindly. We are so blessed to live in a country where we can not only feed our people, but the world’s hungry.
Next time you eat a bowl of cereal, think of the farmer who grew the wheat. Visit your local Farmer’s Market and buy some fresh produce or a jar of homemade jelly and enjoy America’s bounty this fall.

We may be the richest country, but yet we have so many that are starving.
