For my Rural People/Rural Issues Project assignment, I am choosing to write about the Rural Issues Project. For my topic, I am going to write about farm poverty and how it affects farmers’ everyday lives. I may change this up a little bit but I am definitely going to keep the farm poverty issue a part of it. I know that this is a big issue for a lot of farmers/rural communities so I want to be able to do some more research on it to understand it more and what these people go through. I am going to write about farmers who are in poverty because of low income but high expense rates.
