Creating value and getting fair revenue back to the farm gate is a simple concept, yet agriculture at all scales is marginal, requiring appreciation in land values to provide a 21st Century income for those taking the adverse risks, labor demands and marginal income to participate. Our soils that provide all life are not prized, appreciated, nor valued unless we build houses on the precious land. 

Our vast farmland provides many benefits for societal needs including ecological services. After 10,000 years of practicing agriculture, we must find the balance to produce and harvest resources such as food, feed, fuel, fiber, and fun from the land without gimmicky schemes to pay the stewards of the land.
