Dear Farmer, I love what you do, but we need to talk. I know that you work long hours and do grueling hard work. I know that you tend to crops or care for animals. Perhaps even both. I know that you get to experience the joy of life and the finality of death which both are sobering – even after you’ve given it everything you…
