I see the problem
Mountain tomato farms fading
Tomato farming on the mountain is dying, he and others say. The hard work, long hours and irregular income don't appeal to many of the children who could carry on the tradition.The thing is, you can get behind preaching as a way of life. It's a lot harder to see something glorious in growing tomatoes. That may not be fair, but that's life.
'I tell people it's like preaching; you've got to be called,' said Allman, who is 44.

But eating home grown tomatoes is indeed glorious!
But not growing them.
Hrm... Birmingham is full of illegal immigrants and Oneonta's tomato farms are in dire need of cheap labor. Looks like two problems solved if you ask me...
That was the gist of the jest, dearest Dan.
