On both my mothers side, and my fathers side, and including my parents, our family has farmed. Through my fathers mother’s family, I can trace farmers all the way back to 1682 in PA. Followers of Willian Penn. On my mother’s side, back to Norway, where a cousin same age as myself has a dairy Goat herd. That is a long line of farming families, am I the last ? My oldest son is 32 in three weeks time, and is home on the farm with me, we have a few milking cows. Two younger boys never had the desire to work 7 days a week for the kinda return you get from farming, so they work for two different feed companies, one drive a truck doing delivery, the other is a warehouse man. With the rapidly changing world of agriculture, turning its back on family farms in favour of large corporate style farms, my son and I could easily retire the farm together in 10-12 years. I hope this is not the case, but you cannot live on hope and good will alone, family farms need to have profits, not just cash flow. Time will tell, life holds no guarantee, perhaps things will change. I am still optimistic. Bruce

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
