Then I started to tie together things about how many small farmers from my area lose their farms despite having so much "agribusiness" sense and access to all the modern tech. (I know, sad that it took me this long.....) From there, a cascade of worries about soil quality, bees, water, death of my own cultural past, etc. Would end on a high note, but couldn't think of one. Well, maybe the sort of thing you're blogging about....
