Independence and Being There

Independence, wrestled from tyranny, was hard fought and costly. The 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence pledged their fortunes, their honor and their lives for freedom. Five were captured, tortured and killed by the British, nine were killed in battle, twelve had their homes burned to the ground and four lost their sons.

These men were lawyers, merchants, traders and of course farmers. Most of society was made up of farmers in 1776 and it was largely the farmers who made up the Continental militias.

Today, farmers make up 2% of the population, but 40% of military volunteers come from farming communities.

We encourage you to be there for America’s farmers. They’ve always been there for us.
