The backbone of the farm is not Dad—although, he does put lots of backbone into making the farm what it is. Nor is it, Mom. Mom doesn’t make the farm go; she helps Dad make the farm go. Mom says there is a difference.
The backbone isn’t the land, the land IS the farm.
Nor is it the seeds, fertilizer, or crops. Those are extensions OF farming.
The backbone isn’t animals with backbones…we all have backbones, so living breathing things don’t count as the farm’s backbone.
The Back Bone and the Life Blood of the Farm is WATER!
It takes Water to make the farm and it takes water to make the farm grow so for this last series of FARMING—We are going to learn all about water on the farm!

It is the backbone and blood of life for the farm, and for everyone else. It’s hard to believe that the conservation movement began so LATE and is not as effective as we need. Praying for rain.
