NEKS Well there are four boys, two wives that help full time on the farm, one business partner an his wife of the one son, then there are 5 seasonal hired men that are retired truck drives of farmers, and 3-4 Grand kids helping as they are able.
My oldest Grand daughter(28 yrs.old) lives in Cedar Rapids and has a job there. She helps weekends and usually takes a week of her vacation to run the combine in soybeans. She loves doing that.
My Daughter and her husband help on weekends as well. They are here for their first harvest after having lived in the St. Louis area until this last spring.
So they work together to get things done. This is what helps a family stay in touch. There are too many families that do not work or play together and they soon are not close anymore. I have stepped back from the farms. I actually work part time for a friend in his farm supply business. My sons need to learn to do things themselves while I am still around to advise if needed. They need to figure out how they want to make their living. A big part of this is they have expanded the custom farming part way more than I ever did. This allows them to run equipment that they would not be able to afford any other way.
We have a bi-weekly business meeting and I try to limit my in put until these meeting unless asked. That has been hard to do but it is needed for them to learn.
