| The
purpose for publishing this booklet is to let everyone know that this Farmer's Association Membership is available to every Finnish farmer and farm worker as well as anyone who would like to become one. The best and most cost effective way to reach everyone is by distributing this booklet. A well known fact is that even when times are good most workers would prefer to have freedom and be their own boss, instead of working for someone else.Especially when times are as tough as they are right now. Farming and living off the land is a great option to many to provide income and security to their families. It is part of human nature to strive for better things. Many people from Finland are choosing to be farmers. The conclusion is that together we are stronger. It became important to unite and form this Farmers association. The climate is more favorable for farming here in the south than it was in the north. Here in South we have overcome many difficulties we encountered up north. It would be easier to get members to join our association in the states up North than in the South since there is a misconception about Negroes being the only workers in the South. |
We
believe we are going to get enough members to join us so that we can buy needed equipment with collected money from the members instead of taking loans from the bank with high interest.Everyone who is writing in this booklet is member of our association and the writings are not done by professional writers. No one was paid for writing in this booklet and our members are just trying to share their ideas with others. Also, we wanted everyone to have an opportunity to share their experiences of living and farming in the South. We believe workers do know that the information in this booklet is legitimate. We have been here almost a year already and want everyone who comes to visit us to know we have been working hard and are planing to continue doing so in the future. Everyone knows we need more financial security in order plan for the future. Also, we propose to work together so that we can be competitive with larger wealthy farms. Only together can we be successful and defend our rights. We cannot wait and do nothing. We need to unite and make decisions together. The purpose for publishing this booklet is to bring awareness of our association to Finnish farm workers to excite them about farming opportunities here in the South. |
