Are you a farmer or a former farmer? Do you, or did you used to, raise livestock? Christy Smith is writing a story for Walton Visions magazine about Walton County's current and former farmers and raisers of livestock. She wants to talk to farmers at any level,- whether you are raising a half-acre of product and a few goats in the backyard or work as a professional industrial farmer. She also wants to write about farmers who have left the profession. If you are a current or former farmer, will you please contact Christy by leaving a comment below? Thank you!
