Cafe Down on the Corner
Posted by adrianspeeder on Saturday, September 11, 2004 4:58 PM
I just saw this video from 1992 on CMT the other day and thought it was very cool.

Its about a farmer that loses his farm and makes some excellent points about the problems that face farmers.

So, what does this have to do with trains, in the video, the farmer is wearing a csx jacket and hat. I thought it was cool for that and also to remind everyone what farmers must indure these days.

Here are the lyrics

The saddest thing is that the typical "farmer" is now becoming massive farming corporations because smaller farms just can't handle the financial pressures that are put on them. In 2004 you see farms with thousands of acres whereas even 15 to 20 years ago you had many with fractions of that. A sad course indeed.
