Hear, hear! My cousin has worked on a dairy farm for over 25 years. Owner has two sons who he hoped to bring into the operation. One has continued to work on the farm, but has no ambition and no interest in taking responsibility. The other son was much more competent, but he married a lawyer and moved to the big city. Finally, the owner told my cousin, "Well, I'm determined to have a partner in this operation, so I guess you're it". Gave my cousin half interest in the cattle and machinery, now they share management (they both always shared in the labor). During the low milk prices of a few years ago, cousin wasn't too sure whether ownership was a blessing or a curse, but he's smiling a little more now that things are better. Pretty classy deal, if you ask me.
