As many of you are aware the Midwest is having some of its worse floods ever.  Some of the people that are affected the most are the medium and small sized farmers in the area that run community-supported agriculture operations and help supply the local framers' markets.  The biggest issue are these are the farmers that do not have flood or crop insurance.  These farmers run on very slim margins and are very dependant on their crops to make ends meet.

A friend and former co-worker has sent me information on how all of us can help and has posted a great blog post on The Inadvertent Gardener.  This post also talks about how others are helping the farmers of the Midwest.

If you think you can help, please visit Farm Aid.  All money donated will go to the small to medium sized farmers that really need the help.  If you cannot give money at this time, please help raise awareness by pass this information along on your blog, in forums, or any other way.
