For each new morning with its light,

For rest and shelter of the night,

For health and food, for love and friends,

For everything Thy goodness sends.

Learn more about "Missouri Farmers Care" and issues that not only impact farming but our culture and economy as well.

There are more than 108,000 farms in Missouri, and a new blogsite offers issues and answers that face Missouri farmers today.

This is a coalition of farm organizations joined together to counter the Humane Society of the United States.

HSUS is putting together a new ballot initiative called “Your Vote Counts.” Like Prop B, many folks will think this looks like a good idea at first glance.

Missouri Farmers Care is offering a presentation that explains the background of HSUS and their goals to end hunting and farming in the US. It would make an excellent presentation, PARTICULARLY TO GROUPS IN THE SUBURBS AND CITIES, on the real motivation behind this organization and its efforts.

If you are interested in having them make a presentation to your civic, tea party or political organization, please contact them at info@mofarmerscare.com. This presentation is so powerful, you may want to partner with local agriculture organizations or similar groups to help spread the word!
