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

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
