Hey, look at me! I personally haven't ever been too interested in what my dad does. He builds/restores muscle cars, water skis, and a few other things.
I like the idea of restoration, but I decided to jump into the world of tractors, and HE discovered how much HE like playing with tractors, so now he is kind of interested in something I do! He now has two Fairbanks Morse Z engines, and thinks they are just the best things since sliced bread, I have never had an interest in engines, until their was a 6 horse sitting in the shop...... :) Now I think they are pretty cool, and am working on trying to find my own!
Another big difference is the "farming" aspect of my life. I have never farmed before, never really done anything farm related, the most is working at a farm up the road helping with fences and hay and etc. HOWEVER, since I could talk, I have LOVED John Deere's ( obviously because they are the best ) my room has advertisement posters for new JD equipment on the walls, metal signs all around, and to top it off, mom made me a Queen size bed spread that is all JD. My parents have no idea where I got this Tractor gene in me, nobody has farmed in either side of the family for a long time, but it is my dream. Growing up people always asked me what I was going to be when I grow up, a farmer!
Then it happened... After I got my Eagle Scout, I was 13, that fall there was a very large Eagle Scout dinner, for the Inland North West Council (30,000 boys). Basically only Eagle scouts come, and they tell all of the others what they did for their project, and what they are going to be when they grow up. Every kid infront of me said that they were going to be a Scientist, Game Design, Banker, all of these huge "modern" jobs. Then my name was called and I went and stood up there, said I was a gonna be a farmer, and I think half the people there choked on their dinner... Oh well, it's my dream and their ain't no one a gonna stop me!

I now realize that I have been rambling on for some time, so my apologies for such a long post! Have a great weekend! Bryce
