A FARMER'S PRAYER |
As farmers and Ranchers, dear God, give us the patience and wisdom
to understand why a pound of steak at $1.80 is "high," but a three-ounce cocktail at $1.50 is acceptable.
And Lord, help me to understand why $3.00 for a ticket to a movie is "not bad,"
but $3.50 for a bushel of wheat that makes 50 loaves of bread is considered unreasonable.
And a 50-cent coke at the ball game is "OK,"
but a 20-cent glass of milk for breakfast is inflationary.
Cotton is "too high" at 65 cents a pound,
but a $20.00 shirt is viewed as a bargain.
And corn is "too steep" a 3-cents' worth in a box of flakes,
but the flakes are sold for 50-cents a serving.
And also, Lord, help me understand why I have to give an easement to the gas company so they can cross my property
with their gaslines, and before they get it installed the price of gas has doubled.
And while you're at it, dear God, please help me understand the consumer who drives by my field and raises his
eyebrows when he sees me driving a $30,000 tractor that he he[ped put together so he could make money and drive
down that right-of-way they took from me to build a road on so he could go hunting and skiing.
Thank you, God, for your past guidance.
I hope you can make me make some sence out of all this.
And please, God, send some rain.
