Question of the week: What role do local farmers play in today's society?
"Just drive around our area and look. Our local farmers are at the center of our economy. They are some of the big players that help drive our economic engine. Nearly everything we, as humans, consume or use has something to do with agriculture. Without the local farmer we would be in a mess."-- Wade Johnson, Twin City
"It is a source of national security by providing with our own food instead of having to rely on other countries."-- Todd Faircloth, Statesboro
"It could mean that our local farmers drive our economy on the local, state, and national level."-- Angel Morris, Twin City
"They play one of the most important roles in the local economy. Farmers not only provide agricultural products, but provide jobs on the local level as well."-- Mace Henry, Garfield
