DEAR SIR: It is said that with great power comes great responsibility. These words were never more true than they are today.

Farming is limping from crisis to crisis but never as bad as what we are experiencing now.

I don’t need to tell you how bad the feed crisis is. I am appealing to the processors and the retailers not to take advantage of the situation any more than they have at the moment.

Farmers are in dire straits at the moment and at breaking point, both psychologically and financially.

I truly fear for people’s mental health in a year like this. Do the right thing.
