Within the high country, there's almost a spiritual affinity with the land, the mountains, the rivers, and the lakes. High country farmers' attachment to the land is both physical, material, conceptual, and emotional, and it is certainly something that I and other members saw when we visited many high country farms and farmers. We saw the deep emotional connection that they had to this and the genuine emotional difficulty that this bill was posing to them. Some, in fact, were almost in tears discussing this.
