Recent wire service story headlines paint a sad picture for the farm economy.

Yet, the entire population depends on agriculture producers for every meal every day. Farmers must have financial security to continue feeding the world.

Advice and assistance for these servants’ solvency are to be presented at a Farm Profit Seminar in Baldwin City.
