Just finished harvesting the last crop of my farming career. Some of the fields I have planted and harvested for well over sixty years. It has been a beautiful fall harvest, one of the nicest and easiest that I can remember. The years that really stick in your mind are the ones that you work all fall in soil conditions that remind you of working in about a foot of fresh cement and loading all the trucks on the side of the road. Not this year, you drive the truck anywhere you want it in the field. A lot of memories and thoughts have been going through my mind this fall. What am I the most proud of? We did it all safely. The most serious injury on the farm was an older man I had helping me jumped off the back of a truck and broke his leg years ago. Thats it. Over seven thousand logged instrument hours in the air as pilot in command, nearly a million miles in a semi tractor trailer, over sixty years on this farm all done safely. It has been a good run and I have been truly Blessed. I am not really sure why I have been so fortunate but I shall be forever grateful. My wife was over in the field with me and I will attach a few pictures that she took of the "Last Farewell."
