October 12th.
Old
Farmers Day honors the hard labor
of farmers throughout American history. Early American culture was heavily a
farming culture. Early settlers cleared fields and pristine woods, to farm the
rich land. They brought seeds and farming methods with them. They found new
seeds, and learned new methods along the way. Many of those new farming methods
came from Native Americans, who were already farming the land. Most notably, was
the concept of hilling,
or mounding soil.
The
month of October is a very appropriate month to celebrate and honor farmers. At
this time, the harvest is largely complete. It means that farmers can take a
break from their labors, to enjoy this celebration.
A
farmers' work is long and hard. It certainly doesn't make a person rich. It has
its good years, and its bad ones. There is no guarantee of a good crop. Weather,
pests, and disease problems often prove disastrous. But, through it all, farmers
have persevered. And, their ceaseless hard work sets an example for all.
As
Americans, we tip our hat to all farmers for their contributions to American
culture, values,society, and the economy. Happy Old Farmers
Day!
