ABOUT FARMER TO FARMER:

Jamie
Ager, Hickory Nut Gap Farm, North Carolina, USA
Hard to hear what is going on over there. We've been reading
about it in the papers a lot. We know that this is a really
hard time and you all are amazing to deal with it. It
must be a real struggle and we are thinking about you.

John
Ager, Hickory Nut Gap Farm, North Carolina, USA
We want everyone to know in England and in Europe how much we
understand what you are going through. Most people who
shop in the grocery stores and live in the suburbs and the cities
don't appreciate the amount of time you spend with your animals,
how long you spend raising them, to see all that work and that
devotion and relationship you have with the animals be destroyed
like this. It is hard for most people to comprehend.
We raise animals and understand that. We feel like you
are going through something that is so tragic and devastating
to your families and your land and your whole way of life that
we can't imagine at this point how you will recover, but we
know you will. One thing about farming families is that
they are resilient. We hope that you can keep your farms
going, that the land will remain in farming and that you can
keep your families fed and healthy yourselves. We just very
much feel for you. |

prayers for the farmers in the UK and Europe that are having
to suffer through this foot and mouth disease. We hope
that things get better for you soon. |

I would like to say that I am deeply sorry for your loss
and I want you guys to hang in there and hopefully this will
be over soon. |

Nancy
Robinson, Pisgah Forest, North Carolina, USA
As a beef producer, you have my heartfelt sympathy at the loss
of your animals. I'm a farmer too and I know what it's like
to lose your cows. |
Annie
Clarke Ager,
Hickory Nut Gap Farm, North Carolina, USA
We feel very close to your situation. We can't know what
it's like, but
we're thinking of you much every day. We pray that things will
be better. |
