Well, it's finally gonna happen

[Stan Hillis]

Different strokes for different folks, although I totally wish you the best in your retirement, Joseph.

I’m 72 and cannot imagine what a day would be like without being able to go to work on the farm ….. planting, tending or harvesting. I work alongside my son and grandson everyday, and what a joy it is. Lest anyone think farming isn’t stressful, I would quickly correct you. Dig a hole in the ground and put $500K in it, cover it up, and pray for rain and good weather. Doesn’t always work out. But, I’m so thankful for every day that I am able to work and be productive that the good just far outweighs the bad.

I love my time in the field with my Parkers and Foxes and L C Smiths, but they have to take a backseat to breaking land, planting, cultivating and harvesting. God help me, I guess it’s just too imbedded in the blood.
