I grew up in Pennsylvania Dutch country so rich with cows that Milton Hershey located his chocolate company nearby. I grew up on over 100 acres of that same farmland doing farming things. My Dad in Florida used was a member of the National Cattle Man's Association. I feel grounded in views of farming and acknowledge that my experience has nothing to do with factory farms. Frankly I'm a little embarrassed by the brain power exerted on this thread. I have been a member of both Future Farmers of America, and 4-H.
