Commentary.
In recent
weeks I’ve received emails, texts and phone calls inquiring about my interest
in sponsoring banners, trophies and/or offering cash donations for prize money
for various competitions at county and state fairs and other events. Some of those inquiries were for a
sponsorship from Brownfield and others were requesting financial support from
our farm. Some were for both.
I love
supporting the agriculture community. I especially
love supporting young people involved in agriculture. I do not donate to these events for the recognition. However, it is alarming to me that I rarely
receive a note, text, call or verbal thank you for the sponsorship. It is alarming to me that our society has
become this lacking in manners. It is
shameful.
