Farming and National Welfare

What happens to farmers doesn’t stay on the farm it ripples through the entire nation. When agriculture collapses, cities swell into poverty and unemployment, as history across the developing world clearly shows. Scripture understood this long ago: “the king himself is served by the field.” Food, land, and farming anchor every economy, reminding man that he is a creature dependent on God’s order, not a master who can legislate reality into submission. When nations ignore this truth and trust human planning over God’s Word, the result is not progress but destruction. Ignore the field, and the whole nation pays the price.
