The farmers who made a descent living off 200 acres (my Grandpa in particular) in the '40,s / '50,s / '60,s all had one thing in common that the ones who couldn't make it didn't have. It's the one thing that will make or break ANY bussiness. They had a passion for what they did! It wasn't "work" to them , it was their passion. A person who makes a living out of his/her passion never "works" a day in their life. My Grandpa was one of those people. He never farmed over 200 acres. Never rented land.

He looked out of place dressed up. Only put in his teeth when he needed them. Teemed up with three other neighbors to share balers , combines and corn pickers. Each only had to "own" one. There's a way to do it! Most just refuse to do it that way!. Bless your sole , Grandpa Rendel , you showed me how to be a better person. You probably thought I had forgotten about you. Never. RB
