Howdy,

Yep, I wholeheartedly agree with you. I grew up living right beside my grandad's farm (160 acres) in S. Ohio. I worked on it and other farms and loved it. I went to college to become a meteorologist and did well. During college my grandad died and grandma got bad enough to need nursing home care. I graduated and soon learned that to do that job would require me to move to who knows where and live in a cramped up apartment. I decided I didn't need that kind of "success". I'm now two years out of college, still living at home till I can make a deal on living in the old farmhouse and work for CaseIH about 30 miles from home. A lot of people look at me and you can read the word failure in their thoughts but they don't understand what is at stake. It's all the things you just talked about and I'll fight with all I have to keep what we have. God bless.
