Our sons grew up to learn to do well in school. Both went to college and did well. The oldest overcame a severe accident where he ALMOST lost his arm while in college and went on to do well. Both work very hard now. One farms and the other has his own business with several employees. Both are married and have their own homes. One sawed his home out and built it with help from his friends. the other bought a pre Civil War house and is restoring it while they live in it. They grew up on our small farm and worked helping me when I asked them. A friend of our oldest son came to live with us when his parents pretty much abandoned him. He had been to school 30 days the previous year. My wife took him to school every day the next year and when he graduated, the principle gave him a hug on stage because he was so proud of him. Now he is doing very well working and has his own small farm. All that being said, parents need to set examples for their kids. My wife and I grew up on small farms and learned to work from our parents. We also went on to college.
Sorry to brag so much, but we feel very fortunate that things have turned out so well for our sons. I do blame parents for letting their kids sit and play on electronic devices and not teaching them skills and how to work. Our two grandkids are learning to work in the garden and take care of animals and we are teaching them that when they want money for something, they can earn it by helping us do jobs on our place. Seems to be working. Sorry for the long brag post. Richard in NW SC

Today's Featured Article - Seeing an Old Friend - by Joe Evans. Dad had a concrete contracting business starting in 1960. One of his first pieces of equipment was a Ferguson TO-35 with a Davis loader. Dad replaced the TO-35 with a MF 202 Workbull, essentially an industrialized Ferguson 35 I am told. Dad bought the 202 new in 1962, and I recall quite clearly going to the dealer with him to sign for it.
