National Farmer’s Day is this coming Saturday, in the US. Those who produce our food with responsibility and hard work are so important to the human family and deserve the utmost respect. Unfortunately, they are now being attacked in America and Europe by the globalists who wish to re-write civilization. Farmers need our support and prayer. If you can’t celebrate this weekend, it would be fine to extend these ideas to the remainder of the month…the farmers won’t mind!
From the Old Farmer’s Almanac:
“This is a day to honor and thank all of the hardworking farmers and ranchers who plow, sow, grow, and harvest to feed our nation. We especially rely on farmers to get fresh food on our tables during these uncertain times. Let’s pay tribute to the men, women, and families who put food in the grocery stores and on our tables every day.”
“October does seem fitting for celebrating this National Day as it is near the end of the harvest. Many farmers will be able to take a rest from their hard labor to join in the celebration of this holiday.”
Also see: National Days in Agriculture and Successful Farming with a look at the American history of farming.
Okay, let’s see what ideas I can come up on how to celebrate this day, off the top of my head. I’m going to try to squeeze 10 ideas out of my brain. I did not say they would be good ones. Try to come up with your own!
Take your children pumpkin picking or apple picking or something picking.
Do farming-related crafts.
Watch videos about farmers.
Stick food in water and see what happens.
Learn about farming history. Homeschoolers, take a look at the link above, for an easy lesson.
Teach children about botany.
Organize something to honor local farmers. Maybe work with your Town Hall.
Play farm animal sounds for your dog.
Get a farming book out of the library.
Do a presentation at your local school or church about farming.
But most of all, appreciate the blessings of abundance you have, through the hard labor and discipline of our farmers:)
