Local farmers impact not only the local economy but the nation's economy. All across the world farming is vital to produce food for the masses. It is why billions of dollars are invested into agricultural research to make farming easier and to increase the yields that are produced each year.
If more people visited farms, then there would be a greater appreciation for the hard working, local small farmers around the world. Farming is not an easy life. Farming is a tough business that is at the mercy of pests, diseases and the weather. It takes months to get those crops to the store and it can all come undone rather quickly. Food and agriculture are the cornerstone to the world's economy.
Farms have been around for thousands and thousands of years and will, hopefully, continue to provide the world with food. Agricultural research will continue to be studied so that farmers have more of a chance at higher yields and incomes.
