We've got this cultural mentality that you've got to be an idiot to be a farmer.

I'm super supportive of locally grown foods and farmers. Here in L.A., I know all of my farmers markets and go there weekly.

Urban conservationists may feel entitled to be unconcerned about food production because they are not farmers. But they can't be let off so easily, for they are all farming by proxy.

I'm glad I don't have to make a living farming. Too much hard work. Too many variables you don't have control over, like, is it going to rain? All I can say is, god bless the real farmers out there.

I do feel like food should cost more, because we aren't paying farmers a living wage. It has to cost more.

I have always fought for farmers getting better prices.

We've got nine generations of farmers in my family, in Warwickshire. And I do feel connected to being a farmer's son. There was a time when I didn't, when I rebelled against it, but there's certainly that sort of work ethic within me.

A good farmer is nothing more nor less than a handy man with a sense of humus.

When you cook, you get to shop. You get to vote if you want the pastured raised pork or the organic grain. You can get to help produce your agricultural system, and you give that up when you outsource your cooking. You become dependent on what's offered - and that's a shame.

Oh, my goodness, when we came to the farm in 1961, I mean, it wouldn't even support one salary.
