After finishing our last tour, we have stopped at a farm in western Ohio. \u00a0 Here we’ve been involved with most every aspect of farming: \u00a0 baling hay, helping with a big garden, feeding the animals (cows, chickens, sheep…). \u00a0 Good hard, clean work. \u00a0 And something that is key to our platform. \u00a0 Our Sarah, 15, recently wrote in her journal: “We lift 50 lb bales of hay off the wagon. \u00a0 It’s hot, dusty work — but you get muscles.” \u00a0 On a \u00a0stop in rural Thorp, Wisconsin, during Campaign 2000, we met with Bernie Stuttgen. \u00a0 He’d been a phys. ed. teacher at Thorp High School for 30 years. \u00a0 He said with the decline of the small family farm in America, a lot of kids are now “out of shape.” \u00a0 That is, the work on the farm not only helped develop a work ethic in the youth, it also helped them develop, well, muscles. \u00a0 Our platform calls for a return of the small family farm in America. \u00a0 In fact, we’d like to see a return to a primarily agrarian-based society again. \u00a0 One where organic growing was predominant, again like the old days. \u00a0 Organic farming is more labor intensive, which could tremendously impact unemployment in the nation. \u00a0 And it would produce a new, and healthier, generation of youth. \u00a0 For more on our agriculture platform<\/a>… Note:<\/strong> \u00a0 We are trying to raise campaign donations for the next phase. \u00a0 If you can help, please send your check to: \u00a0 Schriner Presidential Election Committee, 14304 Mangen Rd., Yorkshire, Ohio 45388-9715.<\/p>\n
