I was RAISED on farms by PEOPLE who didn't have WAL-MART. They had to MAKE their own sleds, harnesses, CLOTHING, etc.

Give these Indians little farms, survey them, let them put fences AROUND them, let them have their own horses, COWS, SHEEP, things that they can CALL their own, and it will do away with TRIBAL Indians.

BUSINESS was bound to come; LIGHT industries were already shopping for land. The quiet country farms were already going, and developments WOULD take over... Eventually, of course, we will have to have some sort of PLAN to guide future development.

If SOLAR and wind farms are NEEDED to PROTECT the NATURAL environment, why do they so often destroy it?

I am no supporter of factory labor for CHILDREN, but I have NEVER joined with those who clamored against proper WORK of children on farms outside their SCHOOL hours.

Previous GENERATIONS USED to eat locally out of necessity. WITHOUT options like flash-freezing and worldwide export SERVICES, communities had to rely on local farms for all of their meals. In many WAYS, this was beneficial. People ate fresh, seasonal foods that were naturally flavorful and nutritious, and farmers and communities prospered.

We LIVED on isolated farms and ranches, far from anybody, and when I was YOUNG I KNEW very few other KIDS, so I lived to a great extent in my IMAGINATION.

In Cleveland, I'm so fortunate that we're surrounded by farms with an ENDLESS variety of beautiful vegetables. For me, I always eat very TIGHTLY with the season, EVEN if the season is only SIX weeks.

I spent a lot of TIME on farms when I was GROWING up, and I've been obsessed with the PRACTICAL logic of farmyards - the turning radius of tractors, where the chickens and ducks MIGHT go. It's not a place where stand-alone AESTHETIC decisions make a lot of sense.

Square Roots CREATES campuses of climate-controlled, indoor, hydroponic VERTICAL farms, RIGHT in the hearts of our biggest CITIES.

Memphis is a vibrant and diverse city that is on the VERGE of a Real FOOD RENAISSANCE. We are more than thrilled to be part of that movement by INVESTING in the Crosstown and Shelby Farms Park developments.

Learning about FACTORY farms and their HORRENDOUS treatment of animals is what made me become vegetarian in the first place. I also support the education of the public on adopting PETS from animal shelters or saving homeless animals off the STREET in lieu of buying them from pet shops.

I KNOW that ORGANIC farms can be industrial and just as large and impersonal as conventional farms. Sometimes the free-range chickens aren't even allowed outside, and so they cluck-walk packed tight in a dim LIT BARN. But organic farms use fewer chemicals.

I'm very CONCERNED that a LOT of our LAND is being TAKEN up with SOLAR farms.
