Reader Comments on VIDEO: Sunflowers by the Acre from YankeeMagazine.com http://www.yankeemagazine.com/rss/index.php Mon, 13 Feb 2012 00:00:54 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2008-07/interact/10things/sunflowers-griswold-ct As an expatriot New Englander now living in the mid-west I enjoy my monthly subscription to Yankee. This month I read the article about Duane Button and his charity efforts for "Make-A-Wish Foundation. This year in our area it has been a wet and cold spring and as a result the corn crop has failed. We have a gazillion acres of space to plant short season crops but little motivation to do so. I have suggested to area farmers, through my online blog, that Duane might be an inspiration to them to plant crops to help less fortunate people. I don't know if this seed will take root or not but keep the inspirational stories coming. America needs these to remind us of who we really are as a people.

My friend gave me the subscription as a Christmas present because I travel to Maine every summer. I definitely plan on stopping to visit Buttonwood Farm on my way to Maine this year. What a beautiful idea for all involved.

I hope Yankee's story on Buttonwood farm reaches far and wide and that they have more people visit this summer than ever before.

I wonder if the creators of Sunflowers for Wishes knew their meaning in advance (they probably did). What a great way to respect those who are suffering and in need of a bit of happiness.
