I was born and raised in northern Illinois but have lived in North Iowa for the last 39 yrs.Each Spring I watch fot the first Robin and the first tiny green rows of new corn and soy beans. I love the rich black soil and beautiful fields of corn. As the population increases and more farm land is sold and developed for building instead of farming I worry how the world will survive as the cultivated land disappears. Our lives depend on our farmers and I'm thankful for recognizing Earth Day and reminding us what we owe to the farmers. Thanks KAF
