Much has been said the last few days in the Senate chambers in DC about saving rural America. The rhetoric is pretty clear that the people in power in DC know that the countryside, rural areas, farming, and farming families are good for us. What's good for the family farm is good for America.
There are some folks out there in rural America who are making serious moves to do something about it. They are putting action behind their words, and, maybe they're doing more doing than talking. Either way, here is a site worth looking into and a people and an entity that deserve a shout out.
Try this link to go to information about a cooperative that is concerned about saving rural America, Winston County Self-Help Cooperative. They'll even put you on their email list if you ask.
