Stand by Your Ham...

That's right...your ham!

Farmers in the U.K are trying a new way to bring attention to their issue, so they are hitting the Internet with a catchy new song. This is a parody of Tammy Wynette's "Stand by Your Man."



'Stand by Your Ham'

Right now it's hard to make a living
Rearing all your pigs for pork and ham.
The supermarkets make money
But we don't make any money
And that's quite hard to understand
But if they gave us a little more money
Gave us farmers a fairer share.
Coz we take good care of our pigs
We're so proud of them
To us they're more than pork and ham.

(Chorus)
Stand by your ham.
Sausages, pork and bacon
Help us to stay in business
Because our pigs are worth it.
Stand by your ham.
Sausages, pork and bacon
Keep givin' all the help you can
Stand by your ham.


But you have to seriously ask...can this be more than just a catchy song?

I think its a great effort, but I don't know that it'll actually make a difference in the price of feed for the Wilbur and the rest of the porkers.

Sorry Farmers...great song, but it ain't gonna help!
