Dear editor:
I am addressing this directly to Sneha Jogi, who wrote A different view of agriculture in the July 2021 issue
. Sneha, I really hope you might be willing to listen to the other side.
Your article initiated much conversation in my household. You began by saying you had been the object of many stares and assumptions. You concluded that those stares and assumptions were from a negative bias.
Perhaps interest and common curiosity were behind those looks. Friendly people ask questions to find out about who you are to get to know you. This type of conversation brings people together and is extremely humanizing in its attempt to know the person behind the face.
