Raised on a small cattle ranch (60-100 cows - cow calf operation) but it was my father's dream - he was also a veterinarian. I liked crops, but not industrial ag, which was where ag was heading in the 60's and 70's. Married a veterinarian too, trained as a biologist, now teaching horticulture at a junior college. Really dislike where ag has gone (is going), and see farmers being forced into squeezing maximum production to survive, often against their better judgement.

The only thing I can guarantee is that our system is getting more fragile every day and the s**t will hit the fan sooner or later. Having said that, I love old iron, have a IH crawler and various walk behind tillers and mowers plus old trucks. Keep my hand in by raising too much food and giving it away on my 26 ac., also improving my forest for my grand children, and setting up a sawmill for my entertainment. Life is too good to let too much knowledge cause me to be depressed. I wish I could say that for the coming generations. Ray
