do is flip a light switch or plug a computer in to use it. And it’s common to forget about the farmers who spend their days and their lives making sure we have a safe and plentiful supply of food to eat, when all we have to do is drive to the grocery store and pick up whatever we want.

This Thanksgiving, Thank a Farmer It’s easy to take electricity for granted when all we have to
good reasons to thank a farmer as you slice into your golden, juicy turkey this Thanksgiving.
1. America’s food supply is among the world’s safest. Plus, we have plenty to eat and generally pay affordable prices for it.
They don’t get to take a day off when it’s 100 degrees outside or snowing like crazy.
2. Farmers work really hard to get that food on our table.
3. Agriculture creates loads of jobs: more than 24 million and counting in the U.S. 4. Our country’s farmers produce about 40 percent of all the corn in the world.
5. Each farmer feeds an average of 155 people. 6. For every dollar you spend on food, guess how much farmers get? Twelve cents. 7. Some farms are big, corporate enterprises. But most are family-owned. 8. Eighty percent of our food and fiber is produced by just 210,000 full-time American farmers. 9. As the world’s population increases by 2 billion by 2050,
farmers will need to double the amount of food they produce to feed us all.
10. Our grocery bill is about 10 percent of our income—the lowest percentage of any other country. So find a local farmer and say “Thank You!”.
