“Most people just don’t get it,” said Ron, bemoaningthe urban politicians that continue towhittle away at funding for county fairs and theag extension service. “It’s all about the kidslearning real life.”To their misfortune, urban children have muchless opportunity to connect with real life. Theylook at some farm kid working on his show steerevery day for months. It is beyond their comprehension.“Why”, they think, ‘Would anyone wantto waste their time in such a mindless pursuit?’and then they whip out their Game Boy and fallinto a trance.Thank goodness there are some politicians,corporations and influential associations that DOget it. As farmers and livestock raisers continueto decline in numbers, it is even more critical thatparents, county agents, ag teachers, 4-H leaders,scientists and teachers instill in the next generationsthe realities of life that farming dependson. Does America want to become a net importerof food in fifty years?2012 HARDIN FAIR PREMIUM BOOK – Page 11WELCOME TO THE HARDIN COUNTY FAIR!The directors of the Hardin County Ag Society welcome you to the 2012 Hardin County Fair!The following article answers the question of why we think the county fair is important to all of us.County Fairs.... Why?I appreciate Mrs. Obama’s garden, WholeFoods specialty markets, organic and naturalproducers. They have a niche market. But who isgoing to feed the other 99% of our burgeoningpopulation, much less a hungry third world?Those kids, our kids who are fitting steers, doingchores, picking apples, showing hogs, drivingthe grain truck, learning to weld, riding pens, irrigatingstrawberries, managing a pasture, hosingthe milk room, stacking hay and learning to readthe sky are assimilating the mountain of knowledgethat it takes to make dirt and rain intofood.Farm kids start learning the land and the livestockwhen they are old enough to carry abucket. When they help with the daily choresthey are practicing. It’s like taking piano lessonsor tennis lessons except what farm kids learn hasa much more profound objective; feeding us all.Our culture expends a great deal of effort onfuture NBA stars, astronauts, environmental(Continued on page 12)YourTHURSDAYNCUAInsuredSponsor ...12837 St. Rt. 68 South, Kenton • 419-674-4998101 Jacob Parrott Blvd., Kenton • 419-675-2322232 N.

This is the essence ofthe county fair.Beneath all the fun, auctions, and showribbons, the serious business of learning howto make a living off the land continues like anunderground river.The list of ‘essential professionals’ is a shortone.
