Thank a Farmer or Rancher!

Fun Fact for you Friday: Did you that 98.3% of U.S. Farms and ranches are family owned? American agriculture helps feed the world’s citizens, provides fuel for transportation and fiber for money and clothing; and today’s American farmer feeds about 150 people worldwide every day; and beef cattle production represents the largest single segment of U.S. agriculture; and the U.S. raises 20 percent of the world’s beef with 7 percent of the world’s cattle, and in 2011, the value of beef exports exceeded $5 billion for the first time in history. Think about this and please remember to thank a farmer or rancher!
