I must say, that I am relieved to hear that there are still some young people out there that are willing and have the desire follow in their farming fathers and grandfathers footsteps. In a day where the farming industry seems to lean toward large corporations by leaps and bounds, it is harder to find young people willing to what it takes to keep the family farm going. Now, I am not old by any means, but it's been awhile since I was 20 years old. My Dad bought his first farm when I was 5 years old. He started out with an F-20, then a Super M, then a 706 gas and now an 886. He still has the Super M. He won't part with it, nor do I want him to. Growing up on the farm has taught me many valuable lessons that has benifited me in everything I have done in life. Ever since before I was old enough to drive, my life long dream, was to farm and to have my own repair shop. But I knew that for the latter, I would have college and a job ahead of me. So that is the route I took. I've never regretted going down that road as I've developed a career that I truely love and enjoy and gained the experience neded for my life's goals. My only regret is that the time demands of my career does not permit me to continue an active part in the farming operation. My busy time is also the farmers busy time. My only hope is that the Good Lord allows me the time to realize my life's goals and continue the family farm and I pray to god that at least one of my sons will want to follow, hopefuly making that decision sooner than I did. Good luck to all you young people just starting out and please help keep the family farm alive!
Yeah, I know, what's a fellow who grew up RED doing , working on the GREEN paint? Well life just has a funny sense of humor sometimes. That's all we're going to say about that!
