Don't fool yourself about no college. DO IT! The days of sitting on a tractor and making money are over. It takes a sharp pencil and often a second job to make money at this business. I agree work ethic has been flying away. The difference between eating and auctioning off your assets are seeing where you can make a dime where the other fellow is wasting his nickle. A degree (almost anydegree) is good insurance. College doesn't only supply book learning it gives you insight away from the limited view from your back window and into the world, how to interact and deal with different personalities. The people skills, coping skills and idea interactions are worth as much as the diploma.
I am proud of my rural heritage and happy you are willing to work for it. It will take work and education to save our family farms. Times are changing and we will have to also.
