She writes, “most of the price tag at the store pays for the system that moves it from place to place-not the wages in the field.” She later goes on to say “So if the farmer is only getting 16 percent of what we pay for food, what share is being paid to me, the worker in the field?” The wages being low for the agriculture industry are shocking to me because as discussed in class, the agriculture industry is needed for human’s wellbeing.…

Throughout both passages, the authors describe a setting of desolate towns during difficult times, with townsfolk who have forgotten optimism.
